Possible Issues

(Cont’d)



High FCS error rates—Frame Check Sequence (FCS) errors indicate that frames of data that transmit

across the network are experiencing corruption. A high FCS error rate indicates wireless link

interference in the area.
Frames that are transmitted by APs managed in AWMS are susceptible to interference from other

devices with radios operating in the same frequencies range (same channel), or electromagnetic

interference from electronic devices such as power cables in the office.
The 802.11 MAC layer uses the Frame Check Sequence (FCS) field to determine if errors have

occurred during the transmission. Each MAC layer frame has a FCS field that is used to store a

checksum. The checksum is added at the source AP, and verified at the destination.
If the FCS checksum included in the frame does not match the recalculated number, then an error has

occurred during the transmission, the frame is discarded, and the destination host requests it to be

resent. This can effectively reduce the bandwidth and throughput in the network.
A high FCS error rate in this field could indicate that the APs are experiencing a high level of link

interference and the clients are getting less bandwidth and throughput due to MAC layer frame

retransmissions.
One response is to assign a different channel to the AP to improve the performance from your AWMS

server. Use the Optimize feature to assign the best available channel to the AP.

1. Log in to your AWMS.
2. From the AP/Devices > List page, click the Modify Devices link.
3. Select the APs that are running into channel interference problems by checking the corresponding

box for each. Several new settings appear below the device list by which to configure these devices.

NOTE: Toward the bottom of this section, click Optimize for the Optimize channel assignment to reduce

overlap setting. A confirm changes page appears by which to apply and schedule this change, or to

cancel out of this setting.This explanation derived from the following location:
