4 Refer to the Transmitted field to view statistics transmitted over the Altitude 35xx LAN port.
5 Click the Clear LAN 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.
6 Click the Logout button to securely exit the Access Point applet. There will be a prompt confirming
logout before the applet is closed.
Viewing a LAN’s STP Statistics
Each access point LAN has the ability to track its own unique STP statistics. Refer to the LAN STP Stats
page when assessing mesh networking functionality for each of the two access point LANs. Access
points in bridge mode exchange configuration messages at regular intervals (typically 1 to 4 seconds). If
a bridge fails, neighboring bridges detect a lack of configuration messaging and initiate a spanning-tree
recalculation (when spanning tree is enabled).
TX Packets TX packets are data packets sent over the Altitude 35xx
LAN port. The displayed number is a cumulative total since
the LAN connection was last enabled or the Altitude 35xx
was last restarted.
TX Bytes TX bytes are bytes of information sent over the LAN port.
The displayed number is a cumulative total since the LAN
Connection was last enabled or the Altitude 35xx was last
restarted.
TX Errors TX errors include dropped data packets, buffer overruns,
and carrier errors on outbound traffic. The displayed
number of TX errors is a total of
TX Dropped, TX Overruns
and TX Carrier errors. Use this information to re-assess
location and transmit speed.
TX Dropped The TX Dropped field displays the number of data packets
that fail to get sent from the Altitude 35xx LAN port.
TX Overruns TX overruns are buffer overruns on the LAN port. TX
overruns occur when packets are sent faster than the LAN
connection can handle. If TX overruns are excessive,
consider reducing the data rate.
TX Carrier The TX Carrier field displays the number of TCP/IP data
carrier errors.
