Tx single retry frames
The number of MSDUs successfully transmitted after one (and only one) retransmission (on 
the total of all associated fragments). May be due to collisions, noise, or interference. Large 
numbers of single retries can indicate that too many computers are using the wireless 
network or that something is interfering with transmissions.
Tx deferred transmissions
The number of MSDUs for which (one of) the (fragment) transmission...

Rx FCS errors
The number of MPDUs, considered to be destined for this station (Address matches), 
received with an FCS error. Note that this does not include data received with an incorrect 
CRC in the PLCP header. These are not considered to be MPDUs.

Assigning an IP address to the V-M200
There are several ways to assign an IP address to the Ethernet port on the V-M200.
Automatically assigning an IP address (default 
method)
By default the V-M200 operates as a DHCP client. This means that if the network has a DHCP 
server, the V-M200 will automatically receive a new IP address in place of its default IP 
address (192.168.1.1) upon connecting to the network.
The DHCP...

Ethernet port link settings
If required, you can adjust the link settings by selecting Network > Ethernet.
If you do not use the Auto setting for Speed or Duplex, make sure that the device to which 
the V-M200 is connected has a matching configuration. If there is a speed mismatch, the link 
will not be established. If there is a duplex mismatch, the link may be established but with 
transmission errors and reduced connectivity.

VLAN assignment via wireless community
The easiest way to assign user traffic to a VLAN is to configure the Ethernet VLAN setting in 
a wireless community (See Ethernet VLAN on page 4-7). This puts all the traffic from users 
that connect to the wireless community onto the specified VLAN via the V-M200 Ethernet 
port.
In the following scenario, two wireless communities are defined, each with its own VLAN.
The Employee wireless community is...

NoteWhen a VLAN is defined in a user’s RADIUS account it always overrides the Ethernet VLAN 
defined for a wireless community. This enables you to define an Ethernet VLAN setting for a 
community and then override it on a per-user basis as required.
Example
In the following scenario, RADIUS user accounts are configured to assign employees to 
different VLANs depending on the workgroup to which an employee belongs.
