Network Performance Graph Statistics

The Network Performance Graph contains the following statistics:

Network Events (Red)

 

Total Errors

The total number of soft errors of any kind processed by

 

the network.

Ring Purges

The total number of times the ring’s active monitor has

 

issued a ring purge command.

Beacon States

The number of beacon states on the ring which have been

 

corrected by the automatic beacon recovery process

 

(ABRP).

network events statistics coming through the network.

Traffic (Blue)

 

Frames

The total number of good frames transmitted and

 

received by the network.

Percent Load

Reflects the load generated by the network compared to

 

its theoretical maximum load (4 or 16 Mbits/sec).

The Traffic scale is not currently measuring the traffic or

 

load processed by the network.

1.Using the mouse, click on the Network Events button (with the red square marker to its left). The Network Events pull-down menu will appear.

2.Click on the desired mode (Total Errors, Ring Purges, Beacon States, or Nothing). The mode you have chosen will appear in the button. The Performance Graph will refresh and begin to measure, using the new mode.

3.Click on the Traffic button (with the blue square marker to its left). The Traffic pull-down menu will appear.

4.Click on the desired mode (Frames, Percent Load, or Nothing). The mode you have chosen will appear in the button. The Performance Graph will refresh and begin to measure, using the new mode.

The Performance Graph will now monitor the network using the user-defined modes. (Click on Cancel to stop monitoring and exit the screen.)
