The AP keeps statistics of packets with multiple retries. Use these statistics to 
identify severe occurrences of retries. Retries occur when the transmitting station 
fails to receive an acknowledgment for a transmitted packet. This lack of 
acknowledgment can result from:

■

Two or more stations transmitting simultaneously and causing collisions

■

The receiving station moving out of range

■

The receiving station being powered off.

Any one of these incidents causes both devices to suspend transmitting and retry 
later. Too many retries can indicate a system problem.

To view retry severity, do the following:

1 Select Statistics from the Main Menu.

2 Select Retry Histogram. The display indicates the packets that experience retries 

(up to 15 retries).

3 Press any key to return to the Main Menu.
