repesents the number of packet loss and the
Total
represents the number of sent
packets (the total value automatically goes back to 0 once it reaches 65000 or after
a reset)
7. Press the right-arrow key to reset the communication statistics.
8. Wait until the total number of packets reaches 500 and check the number of packet
loss at that moment. In an excellent installation, the amount of packet loss would be of
15 out of 500 or less (3% loss). This loss rate is only reached in perfect conditions, an
application can be functional with a higer packet loss rate.
If you want to improve your communication statistics, try relocating the antennas
and make sure the cables are in good working conditions.
