VersaLink Gateway (Model 327W) 
User Guide 
was a multicast address (received by more that one station): not necessarily 
broadcast to all stations, but more than a single station. Broadcast messages 
are included in the count. 
OUT-Fragments 
The number of successful transmissions made. This will typically be greater 
than the sum of the Unicast and Multicast frames because large frames are 
broken into multiple transmissions. The number of fragments per frame is 
based on the Fragmentation Threshold setting (not user-configurable). 
OUT-Dropped Frames, too many 
retries
The number of frames that did not transmit due to the short or long retry 
limit being reached because no acknowledgement or CTS was received. 
OUT-Frames after one or more 
retries
The number of frames that successfully transmitted after more than one 
retry. Any fragment of a frame that required multiple retries would 
increment this counter for the whole frame. 
IN-Unicast Frames 
The number of successfully received frames whose destination address was a 
single location, not necessarily the same location, but to any single location 
as opposed to the broadcast address. 
IN-Multicast Frames 
The number of successfully received frames whose destination address was a 
multicast address. Broadcast messages are included in this count. 
IN-Fragments 
The number of fragments successfully received. This may not be equal to the 
sum of the Unicast and Multicast frames because large frames are broken 
into multiple transmissions. The number of fragments per frame is based on 
the Fragmentation Threshold setting (not user-configurable) on the source 
station. 
IN-Dropped Frames 
The number of frames that were not received by VersaLink due to the short 
or long retry limit being reached because no acknowledgement or CTS was 
received.
