Receive Collisions:
- indicates the number of receive collisions
detected at the currently selected Ethernet port (Port
n
).
Transmit Collisions:
- indicates the number of transmit
collisions detected at the currently selected Ethernet port (Port
n
).
Port Media Type:
- displays the type of media interface at the
currently selected port. Possible entries include:
Ports 1-12 10BASE-T
- 10Base-T (UTP)
Ports 13 & 14 SPIM-T - 10Base-T (UTP)
SPIM-T1 - 10Base-T (STP)
SPIM-F1 - Fiber Optic (SMA)
SPIM-F2 - Fiber Optic (ST)
SPIM-C - Thin-net coax
SPIM-A - AUI
Port Administrative Status:
- shows if the currently selected
port is enabled or disabled.
ON - the port is enabled.
OFF - the port is disabled.
Port Segmentation Status:
- shows if the currently selected port
is segmented. A port is segmented (logically disconnected) when
the MRXI detects 33 consecutive collisions on the attached segment
or if the collision detector is on longer than 2.4 ms. When a good
packet is received at the port (without causing a collision), the port
is automatically reconnected to the network. Possible status
displays include:
SEG - indicates that the port is segmented.
ON - indicates a normal connection.
Port Link Status:
- displays the link status for the currently
selected port. The link status is only applicable to 10Base-T
Twisted Pair and Fiber Optic Link segments. Possible field
contents:
LNK (link) - indicates that a link is established between the
currently selected port, and the device at the remote end of the
segment.
