Ring Map

NOTE

If you disallow contention for a management station which is currently serving as the Active Monitor, that station will continue as Active Monitor until the next contention.

Error Report Timer

The Error Report Timer determines the interval at which stations will report the number of errors they have detected. The default timer value is 2 seconds. To change this value:

1.Highlight the current setting.

2.Type in a new setting, and press Enter.

NOTE

Current versions of TRMMIM firmware do not support the ability to set the Error Report Timer Delay; future versions will include this feature.

After making changes in the Management Station Configuration window, click here to update the information shown in the window’s fields.

Setting the Statistics Calculation Mode

Statistics available from the Ring Map window are calculated according to one of three formulas:

Rate

Units expressed as a change in value divided by the

 

length of the polling interval, or Δ units measured /Δ time

 

(in seconds). For example, if you measured 3200 frames

 

over a 10 second interval, the frame rate would be

 

320/sec.

Cumulative

Total units measured since the cumulative option was

 

selected. For example, if you measured 390 frames

 

during the first interval since cumulative was selected,

 

270 in the second, and 500 in the third, the cumulative

 

total would be 1160. You can reset the Ring Map’s

 

cumulative counters at any time.

Delta

The change in the units measured from the previous poll

 

to the current poll.
