The NetLink OAI Gateway is connected to the Ethernet network, referred to as the
LAN or Local Area Network. The information about that connection is provided
through the Network Status screen.

From the System Status Menu, select Network Status. The screen displays information
about the Ethernet network. This information can help troubleshoot network
problems. A sample screen is displayed here.

Three items display at the top of the screen:

Ethernet Address MAC address of the NetLink OAI Gateway (hexadecimal).

Stats Time Period The length of time the statistics have been accumulating in the

Pkts and Bytes columns. This is either the system uptime, or the time since a user

pressed C=Clear while viewing this display.

User Time Period The length of time (in seconds) statistics will accumulate in the

Userpkts column before resetting to zero. When troubleshooting a problem, use this

setting to isolate statistics for a given time period (for example, one hour). This is the
only field in this screen that can be changed by the user.

The rest of the display is a table of Ethernet statistics. The Pkts and User Pkts
columns list the count of Ethernet packets received or transmitted. The

Bytes

column is the count of bytes received or transmitted during the amount of time
indicated by

Stats Time.

RX Number of packets and bytes received addressed to the NetLink OAI Gateway.

PN: 72-0078-07-B.doc Page 27

NetLink OAI Gateway

RX Broadcast The number of broadcast packets and bytes received.

RX Multicast The number of packets and bytes received with the SpectraLink

multicast address. (A “multicast” message is sent to more than one destination on
the network.)

RX Not For Us The number of multicast packets and bytes received that were not
for the NetLink OAI Gateway.

TX The total number of packets and bytes transmitted.

Interrupts The number of times the Ethernet controller has signaled the

microprocessor that it has received or sent a packet.

Collisions The number of times the Ethernet controller has attempted to send a
packet, but another device on the network transmitted at the same time, corrupting
the transmission.

Collision Drops The number of packets the Ethernet controller has discarded
because there were over sixteen collisions. After sixteen collisions the Ethernet
controller hardware discards the current packet and attempts to send the next packet
in its buffer.

CRC Errors The number of packets discarded by the Ethernet controller because
of a CRC (Cyclic Redundancy Check) error.
