3. Refer to the Received field to reference data received over the AP-5131 WAN port.
4. Refer to the Transmitted field to reference data received over the AP-5131 WAN port.
Link The Link field displays Up if the WAN connection is active
between the
AP-5131 and network, and Down if the WAN
connection is interrupted or lost. Use this information to assess the
current connection status of the WAN port.
Speed The WAN connection speed is displayed in Megabits per second
(Mbps), for example, 54Mbps. If the throughput speed is not
achieved, examine the number of transmit and receive errors, or
consider increasing the supported data rate. To change the data
rate of the 802.11a or 802.11b/g radio, see Configuring the 802.11a
or 802.11b/g Radio on page 5-48.
RX Packets RX packets are data packets received over the WAN port. The
displayed number is a cumulative total since the WAN interface
was last enabled or the
AP-5131 was last restarted.
RX Bytes RX bytes are bytes of information received over the WAN port. The
displayed number is a cumulative total since the WAN interface
was last enabled or the AP -5131 was last restarted. To restart the
AP-5131 to begin a new data collection, see Configuring System
Settings on page 4-2.
RX Errors RX errors include dropped data packets, buffer overruns, and frame
errors on inbound traffic. The number of RX errors is a total of RX
Dropped, RX Overruns and RX Carrier errors. Use this information
to determine performance quality of the current WAN connection.
RX Dropped The RX Dropped field displays the number of data packets that fail
to reach the WAN interface. If this number appears excessive,
consider a new connection to the device.
RX Overruns RX overruns are buffer overruns on the WAN connection. RX
overruns occur when packets are received faster than the WAN
port can handle them. If RX 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.
RX Frame The RX Frame field displays the number of TCP/IP data frame
errors received.
