5-2 Repeater Statistics
The Statistics Windows
At the Statistics windows, you can view accumulated statistics and error
breakdowns for each network supported by the Ethernet MicroLAN Switch, and
for each individual module and port. A pie chart graphically depicts these
statistics for quick visual reference.
Statistics displayed in these windows include:
¥ Active Users
¥ Bytes
¥ Broadcasts
¥ Packets
¥ Collisions (combined Transmit and Receive)
¥ OOW Collisions
¥ Giants
¥ Alignment
¥ CRC Errors
¥ Runts
The pie chart to the right of the statistics text boxes lets you graphically view your
statistics. The colors in the pie chart correspond to the colors for Packets (green),
Collisions (red), and the two error modes: Hard Errors (cyan), and Soft Errors
(yellow).
Accessing the Statistics Windows
To open the Repeater Statistics window:
1. Click on Repeater in the Chassis View menu bar; a menu listing the active
repeater channels will appear.
2. Select the appropriate repeater channel (A
- H) to reveal the Repeater menu.
3. Click on Statistics. The Repeater Statistics window, Figure 5-1, will appear.
TIP
Although you can launch most statistics windows from both the Repeater and Module
menus, the information provided at both levels will be the same, since each ÒboardÓ on the
Ethernet MicroLAN Switch is equivalent to a repeater channel.
