The statistics page reports the amount of traffic received and sent by each of
the three interfaces: Ethernet, Serial, and RF. This page also
reports statistics gathered from the airlink that can indicate
the quality of the RF links.
Note: All definitions given below use the following convention:
RX (or Input) = data received from a lower network layer
TX (or Output) = data transmitted to a lower network layer
Cycling power to the Viper or pressing the "Clear (Zero) Interface Stats" button will reset all statistics to zero.
The total number of input packets received by the Ethernet interface.
The total number of output packets transmitted by the Ethernet interface.
The total number of input bytes received by the port.
The total number of output bytes transmitted by the port.
The total number of input packets received by the port.
The total number of output packets transmitted by the port.
The total number of input packets received by RF-OIP interface.
The total number of output packets transmitted by RF-OIP interface.
The total number of control packets received over-the-air. These packets may be RTS/CTS messages or RF Acknowledgements.
The total number of input data packets received over-the-air.
The total number of output control packets transmitted over-the-air. These packets may be RTS/CTS messages or RF Acknowledgements.
The total number of output data packets transmitted over-the-air.
Airlink parameters provide the user with information about the quality of the RF link.
The number of service messages that succeeded. RF Acknowledgements must be enabled in order to generate a Reliable Service Message.
The number of service messages that failed.
The number of retries for service messages.
The number of noise (non Viper carrier) detected above the carrier sense level. If the Noise detected count is high, it may be an indication that the Carrier Sense Threshold should be raised.
This is the total number of messages the Viper overheard that were intended for another station. These messages are discarded.
