The most significant fields are
Retries
,
Retry Errors
,
Receive Errors
, and
Lost Carrier Detected
. If the data values are more than 10% of their sent
and received counterparts, or the
Lost Carrier Detected
value is greater
than a few dozen, there may be trouble with interference, or a loss of the
Ethernet signal. Note that this does not refer to the over-the-air (RF) car-
rier, but only to the Ethernet carrier.
When troubleshooting throughput quality issues, a check should also be
made of the Radio Packet Statistics Screen shown in
Figure 3-44 on
Page 80
. This menu provides a review of packet statistics from a radio
link (RF) perspective.
It is also helpful to check the RSSI of incoming signals. If the RSSI
levels in each zone are within a few decibels (dB) of each other, but less
than –90 dBm, then check the aiming of the antenna system.
See “Aiming Directive Antennas for Maximum RSSI” on Page 158
for
details.
NOTE:
The average signal level should be –95 dBm or stronger for
reliable performance with an allowance for fade margin.
Another place to look for trouble is in
Packets Received by Zone
. The
packets should be evenly distributed across all zones (1-5% variation).
If they are not, interference in the disparate zones should be suspected.
Blocking these zones may eliminate or reduce harmful interference.
See “Skip Zones Menu” on Page 53
for more information.
When dealing with radio interference troubles, be sure to review
A Word
About Radio Interference
on Page 146.
Serial Port and Remote Serial Statistics Menu
(See
Figure 3-42 on Page 78
for detailed information)
This screen provides top-level information on data exchanges between
the radio serial ports and the network through the wireless and the
Ethernet (data) layers. These include:
You can use this information as an indicator of port activity at the data
and IP levels.
Diagnostic Tools
(See
MAINTENANCE AND TOOLS
on Page 84)
The AP Maintenance Menu contains a tool that is especially useful to
network technicians—the
PING
utility. The
PING
utility can be used to
verify reachability of Ethernet devices connected to the network.
