• Carrier Losses - the number of packet transmissions that detected a
loss of carrier (usually a transceiver problem).
• Total Collisions - number of collision during packet transmissions.
• Excess Collisions - number of packet transmissions that were aborted
due to 16 collisions (usually a transceiver problem).
• RX FCS/Align Errs - number of times a received packet was discarded
due to a bad checksum or Frame Alignment error.
• Internal RX Errs - number of times an inbound packet was dropped
due to an internal error. (Whenever a packet is dropped due to TX_Q
Overflows, Internal RX Errs may also be incremented.)
• Internal TX Errs - number of times a packet transmission was aborted
due to an internal error.
NOTE
All of the counter values are reset to zeros if the ATX is
rebooted or if the module housing that port is stopped and
restarted.
