Network Performance Graph Statistics

The Network Performance Graph contains the following statistics:

Network Events (Red)
Total Errors	The total number of soft errors of any kind processed by
	the network.
Ring Purges	The total number of times the ring’s active monitor has
	issued a ring purge command.
Beacon States	The number of beacon states on the ring which have been
	corrected by the automatic beacon recovery process
	(ABRP).
Nothing	The Network Events scale is not currently measuring any
	network events statistics coming through the network.
Traffic (Blue)
Frames	The total number of good frames transmitted and
	received by the network.
Percent Load	Reflects the load generated by the network compared to
	its theoretical maximum load (4 or 16 Mbits/sec).
Nothing	The Traffic scale is not currently measuring the traffic or
	load processed by the network.

Configuring the Network Performance Graph

1.Using the mouse, click on the Network Events button (with the red square marker to its left). The Network Events pull-down menu will appear.

2.Click on the desired mode (Total Errors, Ring Purges, Beacon States, or Nothing). The mode you have chosen will appear in the button. The Performance Graph will refresh and begin to measure, using the new mode.

3.Click on the Traffic button (with the blue square marker to its left). The Traffic pull-down menu will appear.

4.Click on the desired mode (Frames, Percent Load, or Nothing). The mode you have chosen will appear in the button. The Performance Graph will refresh and begin to measure, using the new mode.

The Performance Graph will now monitor the network using the user-defined modes. (Click on Cancel to stop monitoring and exit the screen.)
