Error Alarms

Allows you to enable or disable detection of Error Alarms. Possible menu selections are: Enable and Disable.

Error Threshold

Displays the threshold value for the percentage of errors per good packet that may occur within the Timebase before generating an error alarm. This value is user-configurable from 1 to 100.

Error Source

This area of the Repeater Configuration view provides a series of buttons that let you select the types of errors to include in the error sum. The selectable error types are as described below.

CRC

Packets with bad Cyclical Redundancy Checks.

Runts

A packet that is one byte less than the standard Ethernet frame of 64 bytes (not including preamble).

OOW_Colls

Collisions out of the standard window due to a network problem.

Alignment

Misaligned packets detected.

E t h e r n e t B a s e d C o n f i g u r a t i o n

No_Resource

The number of times the module ran out of resources (i.e., lack of buffer space) and could not accept packets.

Giants

Packets received that exceed 1518 bytes (not including preamble).

Ethernet Based Configuration

Access: From the Chassis Icon, select Ethernet Based

Configuration.

This view provides port configuration information for GPIM models. This view also shares fields with the Fast Ethernet Configuration View (page 54) and the shared fields are covered there. The fields below detail the device specific information found with this view.

Auto Negotiate Mode

Indicates whether Auto-Negotiation is enabled for a specific port. If Auto-Negotiation is disabled the port will revert to the speed, duplex, and flow control settings specified by their associated leaves in the Flow Control groups.

Remote Auto Signal

Indicates whether the remote end of the link is operating in Auto-Negotiation signaling or not.
