Overview of ADU Status and Statistics Tools

In addition to enabling you to configure your client adapter for use in various types of networks, ADU 
provides tools that enable you to assess the performance of the client adapter and other devices on the 
wireless network. These tools perform the following functions:

•

Display your client adapter’s current status and configured settings

•

Display statistics pertaining to your client adapter’s transmission and reception of data

Table 7-1

 enables you to quickly find instructions for using ADU status and statistics tools.

Setting Parameters that Affect ADU Status and Statistics Tools

Several parameters affect the operation of ADU status and statistics tools. Follow these steps to set these
