Network Timer Statistics

You can use the Network Timer Statistics window (Figure 3-5) to view the number of frames, errors, and bytes processed by the ring over a user-defined time interval (allowable time settings are 1 second to 23 hours, 59 minutes, 59 seconds). This allows you to quickly scan the display to obtain information concerning the network activity.

Statistics are displayed in color-coded strip charts which automatically update within the time interval you have set. See Viewing Elapsed, Average, and Peak Activity Levels, page 3-2, for details about the Timer Statistics chart measurements.

You can also refresh the statistics at any time by clicking on the Clear button. This will refresh the Station Timer Stats window to collect new network statistics. (The timestamp, indicating the last time that the Timer Stats box was cleared, will also update.)

Set the time interval to update information (from 1 second to 23 hours, 59 minutes, 59 seconds) by using the clock symbol at the bottom of the window. See Setting the Statistics Poll Interval, page 3-3, for details.
