Signal, noise and rate data from router?

I understand how to interpret signal and noise from a previous posting (http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?messageID=7190784&#7190784), however, I am not clear as to what the rate data means (this data can be obtained by clicking on Wireless Clients in the Summary Tab of Airport in the Airport Utility)? Can anyone enlighten me.
Thanks
Tony

There are two measures used (& sometimes mixed up) when it comes to wireless network speed. They are: bandwidth & throughput (data transfer rate).
Both are measured in MBps or Mbps (Megabytes vs Megabits per second). Bandwidth is the maximum speed the wireless media can carry. Obviously the higher the bandwidth the greater the speed that can be obtained. The 802.11 standards typically are stated in bandwidth. For example, 802.11g has a bandwidth of 54 Mbps; 802.11n has a range between 150 & 300 Mbps, depending on which radio band (2.4 or 5 GHz) is being used.
The other measure, throughput, is the more "realistic" measure as it takes into account the effects of RF properties and Wi-Fi interference in the real world.
Think of bandwidth as a road. 802.11b would be a rural route, 802.11g a city highway, and 802.11n, the AutoBahn. Now think of throughput as the impact of the number of vehicles on any of those roads and the current road conditions. Just because you can drive a Porsche on the AutoBahn at its maximum speed, doesn't mean it will be able to obtain it.
Long story, short, the "rate data" values you see in the AirPort Utility reflect throughput speeds.

  • Signal, Noise and Rate level

    Hi folks,
    got my new airport exrem yesterday and must say, that I am some kind o disapointed. No problems with the setup, but 5 times more speed and a trippled range. I cant determin that.
    But anyway. Does anyone know, how to read this numbers in the "Wireless Client" Menue.
    My Signal and Noise levels number have a "-" in front. So does that mean the smalller they are, the better the signal is. Whats with the noise number. I have numers around -90? ist that good or bad. Same with the Rate. Numbers go from 54 to 18.
    Thanks for you answer
    G5 2Mhz   Mac OS X (10.4.8)   1GB RAM

    I'm still looking for something (anything) that will explain the signal and noise levels in an easy way (anyone know a calculator anywhere for this).
    Rate is the speed...
    so 54 is 54Mbps, 11 is 11Mbps (at least that's what it looks like, although I am also getting a 12 and the AirPort Express is showing "-1"!)
    Anyone have any ideas?

  • Pulling of Exchange Rate data from ECC to BI

    Hi All,
    we are having an requirement to pull TCURR Table Exchange Rate data from ECC to BI.
    If anybody worked on this scenario could you please share valuable inputs regarding this.
    I gone through this  SDN forum link: Re: Automated Exchange Rate Loading in BPC NW ( please share some more details regarding this )
    Regards
    Amit

    Hi All,
    I hope this will help you to pull Exchange rate data from ECC Table : TCURR  to SAP BI System.
    ECC Steps : Creation of generic datasource
    1) Create generic Transaction Data source Using TCode : RSO2 with name ZTCURR and then press create Button.
    2) Input Applic. Component:  FI-GL and give description.
    3) Input View/Table: TCURR and Press save Button.
    4) This will take you to extract structure of data source ZTCURR. In this structure select respective field from the selection field option (In future we will use it in BI info package) and then press save button.
    5) Use Tcode:  RSA3 to check the data by giving custom data source ZTCURR name.
    Note:In this case we are extracting full data from TCURR table. If your project demands you can use delta specific field.
    SAP BI 7 Steps
    1) Go to BI system, TCode: RSA1--> Source System-> Replicate metadata, then you can see generic data source "ZTCURR" in your BI data source tree.
    2) Maintain Info cube Structure same like table : TCURR, 
    ECC Field      ECC DATA TYPE                               BI Field     BI Data Type
    KURST     CHAR                          -
      >                 ZKURST     CHAR (Length 4)
    FCURR     CUKY                          -
      >          ZFCURR     CHAR (Length 5)
    TCURR     CUKY                          -
      >          ZTCURR     CHAR (Length 5)
    GDATU     CHAR                          -
      >          ZGDAT       CHAR (Length 8)
    UKURS     DEC                             -
      >          ZUKURS     NUMBER ( Key Figure )

      >          ZFFACT     NUMBER ( Key Figure )
    TFACT     DEC                             -
      >          ZTFACT     NUMBER ( Key Figure )
    =========================================================================================
    3) Conversion of default format "YYYY/MM/DD" to "YYYYMMDD".
    In Transformation: "GDATU" is number format, not date format, so we need to write start routine in transformation.
    With the Help of below code you can convert default format
    "YYYY/MM/DD" to "YYYYMMDD".
    DATA: DATE      TYPE CHAR10,
              L_INDEX   TYPE SY-INDEX.
      LOOP AT SOURCE_PACKAGE ASSIGNING <SOURCE_FIELDS>.
        L_INDEX = SY-TABIX.
        CALL FUNCTION 'CONVERSION_EXIT_INVDT_OUTPUT'
          EXPORTING
            INPUT  = <SOURCE_FIELDS>-GDATU
          IMPORTING
            OUTPUT = DATE.
        CONCATENATE DATE+6(4)
                    DATE+3(2)
                    DATE+0(2)
        INTO <SOURCE_FIELDS>-GDATU.
        MODIFY SOURCE_PACKAGE FROM <SOURCE_FIELDS> INDEX L_INDEX TRANSPORTING GDATU.
    ENDLOOP.                    
    Note : Customize above ABAP code according to your client requirement.
    ==============================================================================================                    
    4) Calculation of Month End Rate----> Means last working day of month
    Please refer below solution  ( sent on 3rd June 2011 )  to calculate Month Rate
    Go to BI transformation and write formula in ZGDAT field. In this case add GDATU as source field of rule and write below formula.
    *Last working day of month Formula *    :             LAST_WORKINGDAY_MONTH( GDATU, '' )
    Last working day is calculated  based on the data maintained in the ECC TCODE : SCAL ( SAP Calendar )
    ==============================================================================================
    5)  CALMONTH calculation:  conversion of YYYYDDMM format   to YYYYMM format.
    This below given ABAP code helps you to convert GADTU: YYYYDDMM format   to CALMONTH : YYYYMM format.
    In BI transformation write field routine in CALMONTH field  to display  date in this YYYYMM format.
    DATA : L_GDATU TYPE tys_SC_1-GDATU.
    CLEAR L_GDATU.
    CONCATENATE SOURCE_FIELDS-GDATU0(4) SOURCE_FIELDS-GDATU4(2)
                INTO L_GDATU.
    RESULT = L_GDATU.

  • Best way to export and import data from an iPhone app?

    How do people here prefer to export and import data from an iPhone app?
    For example, suppose your app creates or modifies a plist. It might be nice to provide that plist to the user for separate backup and later allow them to re-import it.
    How do people do that? Email the plist to an address? If so, how would one later get it back in?
    Is there a common way people do this kind of thing?
    Thanks,
    doug

    Or maybe the best approach for this is some sort of file synchronization feature? Is there a way of having files from the app's filesystem automatically get stored on the computer's filesystem when synchronizing and vice-versa?

  • Help with writing and retrieving data from a table field with type "LCHR"

    Hi Experts,
    I need help with writing and reading data from a database table field which has a type of "LCHR". I have given an example of the original code but don't know what to change it to in order to fix it and still read in the original data that's stored in the LCHR field.
    Basically we have two Function modules, one that saves list data to a database table and one that reads in this data. Both Function modules have an identicle table which has an array of fields from type INT4, CHAR, and type P. The INT4 field is the first one.
    Incidentally this worked in the 4.7 non-unicode system but is now dumping in the new ECC6 Unicode system.
    Thanks in advance,

    Hi Anuj,
    The unicode flag is active.
    When I run our report and then to try and save the list data a dump is happening at the following point
    LOOP AT T_TAB into L_WA.
    As I say, T_TAB consists of different fields and field types whereas L_WA is CHAR 800. The dump mentions UC_OBJECTS_NOT_CONVERTIBLE
    When I try to load a saved list the dump is happening at the following point
    APPEND T_DATA-RAWDATA to T_TAB.
    T_DATA-RAWDATA is type LCHR and T_TAB consists of different fields and field types.
    In both examples the dumps mention UC_OBJECTS_NOT_CONVERTIBLE

  • Retrieving calendar and contacts data from OSX Server Time Machine

    Due to a system failure I went out an brought a Macbook Air. My other Mac is away being assessed by a repair shop.
    By plugging in the Time Machine drive from the other Mac I have managed to recover my files, videos, photos etc. Contacts and Calendars however are proving to to more difficult.
    The old Mac was setup using Mavericks Server as a workaround for the removal of Calendar and Contacts iTunes sync in Mavericks.
    The Contacts and Calendars are currectly synced with an iPad and an iPhone.
    Is there anyway of recovering the Contacts and Calendars data from the Time Machine backup drive, My iPad or iPhone?
    Any help appreciated with this complicated problem.

    Circle and cross through iTunes icon: had the seagate hard drive replaced and restored data from time machine backup. Why does the iTunes icon have a circle and cross through it? As though incomplete? tried everything and still Circle and cross through iTunes icon.

    No it isn't something you'd find on the computer, it has to be custom installed from the 10.6 installer disc or Software Update if it wasn't before.  It allows you to use older PowerPC applications on your Mac.   On the other hand double check the version of iTunes you have does not require 10.7 minimum either.

  • Just reinstalled software and migrated data from Time Machine, now iMac does not recognize printer or camera

    Under the direction of Apple Support, I recently erased my iMac (Intel) hard drive, reinstalled and updated software and migrated data from an external hard drive via Time Machine.
    Now, after clicking on "PRINT", the print dialog box says "printing" then says "no pages found", and finally says "stopped"; and when I plug in my camera to download photos, the camera is not recognized.  Both printer and camera are connected via USB.
    I checked connections, verified printing and iPhoto preferences, turned printer off then on again, unplugged and replugged USB connections, and checked and followed directions in the Help menu.

    Thanks very much, I'd just tried rkaufmann87's suggestion and entered "This solved my question" when your suggestion popped up—you deserve a "This solved my question" too, though I saw only an option for "This helped me".
    Before I got rkaufmann87's suggestion, I repaired disk permissions and that resolved the camera problem.  Both of you nailed the solution.
    Thanks again!

    Tunes: How to move [or copy] your music to a new computer [or another drive] - http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4527
    Quick answer if you use iTunes default preferences settings:  Copy the entire iTunes folder (and in doing so all its subfolders and files) intact to the other drive.  Start iTunes with the option (shift on Windows) key held down and guide it to the new location of the library.
    Downloading (using iOS or computer) past purchases from the App Store, iBookstore, and iTunes Store - http://support.apple.com/kb/ht2519 - enabled with iTunes 10.3 and newer; not available in all countries; apps, books (not audiobooks), music, t.v. shows, and movies (some - not all studios have permitted this). Movies currently available in the USA only. Downloading previously purchased movies and TV shows requires iTunes 10.6 or later.  Discontinued items not available. For items not included in the iCloud list (e.g., ringtones), or locations or computer systems where iCloud is not (yet?) available, you only get one download per fee paid.  Apple notes it is your responsibility to back up your purchases.
    Select the store on the left side of iTunes.
    Click on Purchased on the right side under Quick Links.
    You can re-download your available previous purchases.
