Resetting Counters

!

CAUTION

To reset all error and performance counters for the current ring managed by the MicroMMAC-T, click on the # (Station Number) symbol atop the station index number column. A dialog box will appear showing the last reset time (if any) and “Reset All Counters Now?”. Click on OK to reset the counters. The error and performance counters will be reset to their initial values.

This will reset all Network Statistics counters to zero (for statistics gathered from all stations on the currently monitored ring that are attached to the MicroMMAC-T-controlled hub). It will also reset individual stations’ error and performance counters (seen in the Station Statistics windows) for stations attached to the currently monitored ring.

Although statistics are only reset for the stations attached to the currently monitored hub, the reset will be reflected in all station lists for a ring spanning more than one hub.

Resetting the counters effectively “wipes” the error history of the MicroMMAC-T since it was last reset. Be aware of others monitoring the ring.

The Station Map

The Station Map window (Figure 5-2) graphically illustrates the ring configuration in downstream neighbor order with respect to the currently monitored module, and displays address information for individual stations inserted into the ring. It also allows you to access statistics or timer statistics for each inserted ring station, including the MicroMMAC-T’s onboard management station. You can also use the window to remove stations from the ring, and set station alarm limits.
