Access Point Status
During a call, handsets send information about their APs to the NetLink Telephony
Gateway. The NetLink Telephony Gateway maintains information on the last 16
APs on which it has received reports and displays this information on the
Access
Point Status
screen. Your wireless LAN vendor, and/or SpectraLink Customer
Support will use the data on this screen to troubleshoot AP problems.
From the
System Status Menu
, select
Access Point Status
. The screen displays a
maximum of 16 APs, one per row. If the list is full and a different AP is used by a
handset, the AP that has not been heard from for the longest time is replaced. A
sample screen is displayed here.
Access Point MAC
: The MAC address of the AP.
NumWTs
: The number of handsets currently in communication with this AP.
MaxWTs
: The maximum number of handsets that have simultaneously used the AP
since last reset.
NotBest
: The number of times a handset indicates that it is not using the best AP.
Last Heard
: The time a report from a handset was received that included information
about the AP. A significant difference between
Last Heard
and
System Uptime
indicates that the AP has not been used recently which might indicate that there has
been a break in communications.
System Uptime
: Is the time elapsed since the NetLink Telephony Gateway was last
reset or power cycled. This indicator allows you to check AP activity against NetLink
Telephony Gateway functionality.
If the NetLink Telephony Gateway should be hearing from an AP due to an active
handset that should be using it, but isn’t, there will be a significant variation in the
APs
Last Heard
time and the
System Uptime
.
Clear
: Clearing the statistics sets
Num WTS
,
Max WTS
, and
Not Best
to zero. It does
not remove any APs from the displayed array. The
Clear
function allows you start
over and view AP activity from that point in time.
