Enterasys Networks GatorMIM and GatorStar manual Gator Total Repeater Statistics

	LocalTalk and GatorStar Statistics
Random CTS Errors	The total number of times the LocalTalk interface
	received a lapCTS packet that was not solicited by a
	lapRTS packet.
FCS Errors	The total number of times the LocalTalk interface
	received a packet with an FCS (Frame Check Sequence)
	error. When a packet is transmitted, the MAC layer of the
	transmitting device computes an FCS value based on the
	contents of the packet, and appends that value to the
	packet. The receiving station performs the same
	computation. If the FCS values differ, the packet is
	assumed to be corrupted.

Gator Total Repeater Statistics

The Gator Total Repeater Statistics window displays the total number of repeater statistics and error breakdowns at the device level for the GatorStar GX-M only. The pie chart to the right of the statistics text boxes allows you to graphically view the statistics.

By using the Total and Delta option buttons, you can change the time period during which statistical data is collected. Total gathers data from the device and updates it at each subsequent polling interval. After the completion of the current polling cycle plus one complete polling cycle, the window will display the sum of statistics processed since the device was last restarted. Delta gathers data during the last polling interval (after the completion of the current polling cycle plus two more polling cycles). These counts are refreshed after each polling cycle.

1. Select Device—>GatorStar Statistics in the Module View menu bar. The Gator Total Repeater Statistics window, Figure 3-2, opens.
