Repeater Performance Graphs

With the Repeater Performance Graphs, you can use real-time statistics reporting to see at a glance the amount of traffic going through your Ethernet MicroLAN module at the repeater, board, or port level. These windows provide current statistics both graphically and numerically. The graph has an X axis that indicates the 60 second interval over which charting occurs continuously, while the Y axis measures the number of packets or errors that are processed by the selected repeater, board, or port. The Detail buttons brings up an additional window that displays a breakdown of the traffic by error type.
