6-4 Optimizing Performance
Repeat the steps as described under “Do You Need Protocol Filtering?” on
page 6-2 to see whether this change resolved your problem. If this does not solve
your problem, consider one of the following options:
■
Optimizing wired connections
■
Optimizing wireless connections
Optimizing Wired Connections
Sometimes performance degradation of your (wireless) connection is caused by
a failure in the cabling system that connects the network to the wired
infrastructure.
Such failures may be caused by one of the following situations:
■
A faulty cable or connector in the wired infrastructure
■
A LAN segment that has been stretched over a distance that is too long.
Usually what will happen in this kind of situation is that:
■
The system does not work at all, or
■
Your network system will generate a large number of error messages as a
result of the faulty connection(s). As these messages are taking up
bandwidth, the performance of your network may become very slow.
Checking the Cable System
The occurrence of a problem in the cabling system can be diagnosed with the
remote statistics found on “Remote” tab in the monitor mode of the
AP Manager.
1. Select
Interface 1: Ethernet
from the pull-down menu to display the statistics
for the ethernet interface.
2. Compare the number of
In errors
with the number of
Bridge in packets
.
❏
When the number of “In errors” is 1% or more of the “Bridge in pack-
ets”, this may indicate a cabling problem.
3. Compare the number of packets
Out errors
with the number of
Bridge out
packets
.
❏
When the number of “Out errors” is 1% or more of the “Bridge out
packets”, it is likely that there is a cabling problem.
4. Compare the number of
Out carrier sense errors
with the number of
Bridge out
packets
.
❏
When the number of “Out carrier sense errors” is 1% of the “Bridge out
packets” or the value of the “Out carrier sense errors” increases too rap-
idly, this indicates insufficient space on the network due to a backbone
overload, or faulty cabling.
5. Check whether the problem occurs only with the selected Access Point, or
with multiple Access Points.
