Token Ring Statistics

•Peak (Magenta) — Indicates the maximum level of activity over all time intervals since the window was invoked.

Statistics displayed in the color-coded strip charts will automatically update within the time interval you have set using the clock symbol at the bottom of the window (See Setting the Statistics Poll Interval, below, for details on using the clock symbol).

Setting the Statistics Poll Interval

Information displayed in the Statistics and Timer Statistics windows is updated after (or, for windows in Delta mode, displayed for) the time period defined by the Interval field available in each window. Each statistics window collects and displays data according to its default polling interval. You can re-configure this interval for each instance of a statistics window by using the clock symbol found in the Statistics and Timer Statistics windows. Note that the poll interval returns to its default value each time you close and then re-open a statistics window.

NOTE

In NetSight Element Manager, the polling interval is set via the Tools—>Optionsavailable from the primary window menu bar.

Refer to the NetSight Element Manager User’s Guide for full information on setting device polling intervals.

To set the Poll Interval:

1. Click on next to the Interval information box. The New Timer Interval text box will appear.
