Network Status
The NetLink Telephony Gateway is connected to the Ethernet network, referred to
as the LAN or Local Area Network. The information about that connection is
provided through the
Network Status
screen.
From the
System Status Menu
, select
Network Status
. The screen displays
information about the Ethernet network. This information can help troubleshoot
network problems. A sample screen is displayed here.
Three items display at the top of the screen:
Ethernet Address
: MAC address of the NetLink Telephony Gateway (hexadecimal).
Stats Time Period
: The length of time the statistics have been accumulating in the
Pkts
and
Bytes
columns. This is either the system uptime, or the time since a user
pressed
C=Clear
while viewing this display.
User Time Period
: The length of time (in seconds) statistics will accumulate in the
Userpkts
column before resetting to zero. When troubleshooting a problem, use this
setting to isolate statistics for a given time period (for example, one hour). This is the
only field in this screen that can be changed by the user.
The rest of the display is a table of Ethernet statistics. The
Pkts
and
UserPkts
columns list the count of Ethernet packets received or transmitted. The
Bytes
column is the count of bytes received or transmitted during the amount of time
indicated by
Stats Time
.
Data is transmitted over the NetLink Wireless Telephone System by
proprietary technology developed by SpectraLink Corporation. The
SpectraLink Radio Protocol (SRP) packets and bytes can be differentiated
from other types of transmissions and are used to evaluate system
functioning by SpectraLink customer support and engineering personnel.
RX SRP
: Indicates the number of SRP (SpectraLink Radio Protocol) packets and
bytes received. (RX=“received”)
