Nokia A032 Advanced User Guide
Statistics screens
There are four screens of data traffic statistics
for the Nokia A032:
• Radio
• Radio detail – provides more basic
information from the PCMCIA radio card
• LAN
• PPP.
To view these screens:
1 Click
Statistics in the lefthand menu.
This will show Radio statistics by default.
2 You can access the other screens by clicking
the appropriate links at the bottom of the
page (
Show Radio, Show Radio Detail and
Show LAN).
The difference between the two sets of
Radio
information is subtle but important. For
example, if the radio receives data frames
which have a bad check word, the PCMCIA
radio card will count these frames but will not
pass them on to the software in the main access
point unit. Therefore information about CRC
errors is best obtained from the radio
Management Information Base (MIB) as
described in Radio card statistics on page 13. In
practice retransmission will normally ensure
that the lost data is recovered. The A032 has
information about both the radio interface and
the LAN interface and gives a good summary of
network activity.
