When dozing:•IxWLAN does not accept WLAN frames transmitted to any vSTA. •IxWLAN awakens at each listen interval to receive the next beacon and poll for frames buffered for any vSTA in accordance with 802.11 Power Manage-ment needs. •IxWLAN awakens at DTIM intervals to receive DTIM beacons when buff-ered broadcast/multicast frames are indicated.While in either state, any WLAN frames to be transmitted from any vSTA may be immediately placed in the Transmit Queue for transmission by the WLAN interface.

The default value is 1.The beacon rate is determined by the System Under Test, normally by some user-configurable parameter. IxWLAN receives beacons that are sent by the System Under Test. A typical beacon rate is one every 100 Time Units. An 802.11 Time Unit is defined as 1024 microseconds ( ). As a result, the beacon rate would be one every 102.4 milliseconds (ms), or about 10 per second (s). As an example, if the pmmode command is set to psave and psinterval is set to 3, IxWLAN wakes up about every 307.2 ms to poll for frames queued in the System Under Test. Also see get pmmode on page 5-71 and set pmmode on page 5-81 for more infor-mation about how this interval is used.Example: [wport1]IxWLAN -> set psinterval 3[wport1]IxWLAN -> OKset rate Sets the IxWLAN data rate. Available selections differ, depending on the current wireless mode: 802.11a, 802.11b, or 802.11g. When you choose the best rate, IxWLAN tries to deliver unicast data packets at the highest possible data rate. If there are any obstacles or interference, IxWLAN automatically steps down to an optimum data rate that supports reliable data transmission. In addition, the opti-mum data rate is adjusted periodically based on past performance of the data transmissions at different neighboring data rates. set rate <rate><rate>: If the wireless mode is 802.11a, <rate> can be: 6, 9, 12, 18, 24, 36, 48, 54, or best (variable rate).

![IxWLAN User Guide, Release 6.20 8-9TroubleshootingRecovering a Corrupted Firmware FileWhen this message displays, the keyfile is created in flash and this procedure is no longer needed.Recovering a Corrupted Firmware FileIf you cannot re-establish a telnet connection to the CLI or access the web-based user interface after a new firmware file is loaded, use the supplied serial cable to establish a serial connection between the IxWLAN chassis and the command PC. If the IxWLAN CLI shows the boot prompt ([Boot]:) when connected via the serial connection, this indicates that the firmware file is invalid or corrupted. You may recover the system by completing the following procedure.Needs •A PC to function as an FTP server.•The IxWLAN firmware file ixwlan.sys•The serial cable that was shipped with IxWLAN•A terminal emulation program (for example, HyperTerminal)•Ethernet cable to connect the IxWLAN chassis with the FTP server over the networkSummary 1. Make the firmware file available on a local FTP server.2. Connect the serial cable and start a terminal emulation session.3. Apply power to the unit and press ESCAPE to show the boot prompt.4. Change the boot parameters to boot over the network.5. Perform file management as necessary.6. Restore the firmware in Flash.7. Reconfigure the boot parameters to boot from Flash.Detailed Steps Step 1: Make the firmware file available on a local FTP server. •The latest IxWLAN firmware file can be downloaded from the Ixia Web site at http://www.ixiacom.com.•You must have an FTP server available, from which IxWLAN can load the firmware file from the network. The ixwlan.sys firmware file must reside on the FTP server and the server must be configured as necessary with a user ID that can reach the folder containing the firmware file.•Use the supplied Ethernet cable to connect the IxWLAN chassis to the net-work where the FTP server resides (that is, typically, the command PC).NOTE: If you have installed IxWLAN version 4.1 or later on a unit that was manufactured before the release of v4.1, your unit may fail in the bootloader due to an older bootrom version. Please refer to the note at the end of this procedure.](https://usermanual.wiki/Ixia/GC617644.Users-Manual-rev-1-part-2-of-2/User-Guide-861882-Page-125.png)

![Event Record FormatB-2 IxWLAN User Guide, Release 6.20Bmodule enable (controlled by set evlog module <module name> enable/disable)Each event is processed by a given module or process within IxWLAN. The var-ious processes of the system can be individually enabled for event logging.The event logging function stores event records into a buffer area in memory. The log buffer is a circular buffer that can store 512 event records. The get evlog buffer command can be used to display the contents of the buffer at any time.Event data can also be written to a log file in Flash. When writing to a file is enabled by the set evlog file enable command, the log buffer is flushed to a file every 30 seconds or every time it wraps at the 512-record limit (whichever comes first). There are two log files, A and B. IxWLAN alternates between the two files so that at least one full file is available at any given time. Each log file can store up to 4,000 event records. You can show the records stored in either file using the get evlog file A and get evlog file B CLI commands.Event Record FormatEvent records are printed in the following format:[header]: [message] [optional parameters][header] is a standard header consisting of a timestamp, microsecond clock ref-erence, and sequence number (for example, 12/27/2002, 9:59:57, 2296.320226,11396). timestamp = time the event occurred, taken from the sys-tem clock (for example, 12/27/2002,9:59:57). microsecond clock reference = time in seconds (s), resolution to 1 microsecond ( ), not synchronized to times-tamp (for example, 2296.320226). sequence number = a sequential number assigned to each record (for example, 11396; next event would be 11397, 11398, and so on)[message] is a very brief text string (typically < 15-20 characters) indicating the type of event that occurred (for example, RX: ok indicates a valid 802.11 frame received without error).[optional parameters] describes the specific circumstances of this particular occurrence of the event. It can be up to four 32-bit parameters (for example, pDesc 0x9326c0 hwStatus 01cd803c:0be20203 numRxDesc 9643712).Example:12/27/2002,9:59:57,2296.320226,11396: RX: ok pDesc 0x9326c0 hwStatus 01cd803c:0be20203 numRxDesc 9643712μs](https://usermanual.wiki/Ixia/GC617644.Users-Manual-rev-1-part-2-of-2/User-Guide-861882-Page-140.png)

The following processes are disabled for event logging: WLAN transmit and receive events and User Interface events. set evlog console enable/disable: Enables or disables logging directly to the console. The default is disabled. When the set evlog console enable command is entered at a CLI console (for example, connected to the serial port or via a telnet session), event data is posted to that console only. No more than one console receives event data at a given time. When the set evlog console disable com-mand is entered at any console, event logging is disabled to all consoles.set evlog file enable/disable: Enables or disables recording logged events to file. The default is disabled.get evlog settings: This command shows the current event log control settings.get evlog buffer [n]: Prints the last n events logged to the log buffer in memory. If [n] is omitted or zero, all events currently in the log buffer display.get evlog file A/B <startRec#> <count>: Shows event records in log file A or B. If no starting record number <startRec#> is given, records display starting with the first record in the file. If no count of records is given, all records display. You can also use “?” to display the number of records in the file.clear evlog file A/B: Clears all records from log file A or B.clear evlog buffer: Clears all event records from the log buffer.save evlog: Flushes all records from the log buffer to the log file, even if log to file is not enabled.NOTE: Event log control settings are not permanent.
