Monitoring Statistics 7-5
5. Click the Clear WAN Stats button to reset each of the data collection counters to zero in
order to begin new data collections. The RX/TX Packets and RX/TX Bytes totals remain at
their present values and are not cleared.
Do not clear the WAN stats if currently in an important data gathering activity or risk losing
all data calculations to that point.
6. Click Logout to securely exit the AP-5131 Symbol Access Point applet. A prompt displays
confirming the logout before the applet is closed.
TX Packets TX packets are data packets sent over the WAN connection. The
displayed number is a cumulative total since the WAN interface
was last enabled or the AP-5131 was last restarted. To begin a
new data collection, see Configuring System Settings on page 4-2.
TX Bytes TX bytes are bytes of information sent over the WAN connection.
The displayed number is a cumulative total since the WAN
interface was last enabled or the AP-5131 was last restarted. To
begin a new data collection, see Configuring System Settings on
page 4-2.
TX Errors TX errors include dropped data packets, buffer overruns, and carrier
errors on outbound traffic. The displayed number of TX errors is the
total of TX Dropped, TX Overruns and TX Carrier errors. Use this
information to re-assess AP-5131 location and transmit speed.
TX Dropped The TX Dropped field displays the number of data packets that fail
to get sent from the WAN interface.
TX Overruns TX overruns are buffer overruns on the WAN connection. TX
overruns occur when packets are sent faster than the WAN
interface can handle. If TX overruns are excessive, consider
reducing the data rate, for more information, see Configuring the
802.11a or 802.11b/g Radio on page 5-48.
TX Carrier The TX Carrier field displays the number of TCP/IP data carrier
errors.
