4.1 Statistics and Logs
The CB3000 includes functionality to display robust transmit and receive Ethernet statistics, including
transmit and receive errors, dropped packets and overruns. This information can be used to assess the
CB3000's overall performance and whether an optimal data rate can be achieved and maintained in respect
to the devices with which the CB3000 is interoperating.
Transmit and receive statistics can also be displayed for the CB3000 radio. The wireless radio statistics
information is useful in assessing the CB3000's radio RF utilization and the level of RF interference currently
within the radio coverage area.
Use the CB3000 log to view an event timeline with each event or potential error condition defined. This
information is useful when troubleshooting broken device connections and unexpected network events.
