Transmit/Receive Statistics

To view transmit/receive statistics for a particular access point, navigate to Status > Transmit/Receive Statistics on the Administration Web pages for the access point you want to monitor.

This page provides some basic information about the current access point and a real-time display of the transmit and receive statistics for this access point as described in the following table. All transmit and receive statistics shown are totals since the access point was last started. If the AP is rebooted, these figures indicate transmit/receive totals since the re-boot.


Field	Description
IP Address	IP Address for the access point.
MAC Address	Media Access Control (MAC) address for the specified interface. A MAC address is a permanent, unique hardware address for any device that represents an interface to the network. The MAC address is assigned by the manufacturer. The U.S. Robotics Professional Access Point has a unique MAC address for each interface. A two-radio access point has a different MAC address for each interface on each of its two radios.
VLAN ID	Virtual LAN (VLAN) ID. A VLAN is a software-based, logical grouping of devices on a network that allow them to act as if they are connected to a single physical network, even though they may not be. VLANs can be used to establish internal and guest networks on the same access point.
SSID	Wireless network name. Also known as the SSID, this alphanumeric key uniquely identifies a wireless local area network. The SSID is set on the Basic Settings tab. (See Provide Administrator Password and Wireless Network Name.)

Total Packets	Indicates total packets sent (in Transmit table) or received (in Received table) by this access point.
Total Bytes	Indicates total bytes sent (in Transmit table) or received (in Received table) by this access point.
