5.1 RX Statistics Area

The RX Statistics area displays the results of the received packet counters and the quantities of the packet types (good, FCS error, MAC mismatch) received since the last statistics reset as follows:

  • Packet error rate (PER): Calculated by dividing the amount of error packets by the amount of total packets
  • Total: If the Total box is unchecked, the total number of packets received by the WLAN firmware is displayed; if the Total box is checked, the user can enter the number of expected packets.

    For example, if an external packet generator is set to transmit 1000 packets, enter the same number (1000) in this box. This value is used by the RTTT application to compute PER.

  • Good: Displays the number of good packets received since the last statistics reset
  • FCS error: Displays the number of FCS error packets received since the last statistics reset
  • MAC mismatch: Displays the number of packets with a destination address mismatch that are then configured by the filter

If the Rx filter box in the RX Mac Address area is checked, the Rx MAC Address filter is enabled to drop all packets with different MAC addresses than configured. Using FF:FF:FF:FF:FF:FF is equivalent to filter disabled.
