Statistics
The Statistics Screen is divided into 3 main areas, UMAC

, LMAC

and Ethernet. For Radio Troubleshooting, the UMAC
statistics are likely the most useful. The UMAC breaks down the statistics into Good and Bad Packets, whereas LMAC defines
why the packets are bad.
The statistics are further divided into TX, RX and INT. TX and RX values are useful to ISPs and other users. The INT (Internal)
stats are intended for use by Tranzeo Wireless Technical Support.
* Technical Info:
UMAC or Upper MAC functions occur in the Unit’s Processor.
LMAC or Lower MAC functions occur in the Radio Chipset.
You can click onto each speed level and see how the traffic breaks down. In the TX statistics, there should little to no
Tries at
Series 2, 3
or
4
. The radio will try to send a packet 4 times at
Series 1
, and then tries the next series 4 times. In the RX stats, you
should look for Bad CRC’s and Bad Decrypts for signs of RF interference or Fresnel interference links.
Bad PHY’s generally are caused when the radio is unable to decode the packets due to noise.
Note: Communication between APs and Stations always occurs at the lowest rate. In a normal link you should see a fair number
of transactions at the lowest rate.
