User Defined Information Panel

Displays information input by the user including:

Device Name — A unique name to identify the device on the network.

Device Location — (optional) The location of the device.

NOTE: The device name and location must begin with an alpha character. Other restrictions are detailed in the help file and tool tips.

Status Page

The Status page displays current operating condition and statistics related to the performance of the device. The page information updates every ten seconds.

Figure 43. Status Page

The Status page provides network statistics with information on the performance of the SMD 101. It includes statistics organized into three panels: Network Statistics, Device Status, and Local Storage.

Network Statistics panel

The Network Statistics panel is divided into two subpanels: Current Stream and Total.

Network Conditions — Monitors and displays information concerning network traffic including:

Network Condition: — Very Good, Good, Poor, or Disconnected.

Link Speed: — The speed of the connection negotiated with the link partner (1 Gbps, 100 Mbps, 10 Mbps).

The Current Stream panel displays information about the currently playing stream, clip, or file including:

Peak Stream Bitrate: — Populated for streams only. The combined audio and video bit rate for the current stream.

Audio Bitrate: — The current stream audio bitrate.

Video Bitrate: — The current stream video bitrate.

Received Packets: — Total received packet count for the current source since playback of the stream started.
