Near a suspected interferer at the wastewater plant, protocol stats show elevated FCS/CRC errors and retries while spectrum also looks dirty. How should the expert use that evidence?
Select an answer to reveal the explanation.
Short Explanation
When spectrum says 'noise' and the capture says 'retries and bad FCS,' they’re telling the same story in two dialects. At the plant, use those protocol stats as courtroom corroboration for the interferer—not as a reason to ignore RF.
Full Explanation
FCS/CRC failures and elevated retry rates are MAC-visible symptoms of frames corrupted or lost on the medium. When they cluster near an interferer and align with spectrum duty-cycle or noise evidence, they strengthen an RF-impairment diagnosis. Experts correlate protocol statistics with spectrum analysis rather than treating either view alone as conclusive.
