Dropped Packets: — Total dropped packets for the current source since playback of the stream started.

Dropped %: — Total percentage of dropped packets for the current source since playback of the stream started.

Jitter: — For transport streams, audio and video streams are combined for this value.

Audio Jitter: — For elementary streams, the audio stream jitter in milliseconds.

Video Jitter: — For elementary streams, the video stream jitter in milliseconds.

The data in all current stream catagories resets automatically when a new stream is selected or when play stops.

The Total panel displays a running total of raw network statistics from the interface for all streams, files, or clips played since the last manual reset including:

Collisions: — Always zero for full duplex links.

Rx_Bytes: — Receive data statistics.

Rx_dropped: — Receive data statistics.

Rx_errors: — Receive data statistics.

Rx_packets: — Receive data statistics.

Tx_Bytes: — Transmit data statistics.

Tx_dropped: — Transmit data statistics.

Tx_errors: — Transmit data statistics.

Tx_packets: — Transmit data statistics.

Press Reset Totals to return the values in the Total panel to zero. The information monitoring begins automatically after each reset.

Device Status panel

Device Status panel — Monitors general operating conditions including:

Power Mode: — Operating or standby.

Temperature: — Current internal temperature of the device. Readings above 60°C could indicate excessive ambient termperature or insufficient ventilation and should be investigated.

Processor Usage: — A general indication of the device workload.

Memory Usage: — Provides an indication of volatiile memory usage. It is typically 15% after a power cycle, and expected to approach 100% after playing large clips from shared network folders.

Up Time (operating) Hours: — The time in days, hours, and minutes since the SMD 101 was powered up or reset.

Local Storage panel

The Local Storage panel provides about the user accessible non-volatile storage including:

Type — Internal

Name — User Content (can not be changed)

Total — Total size of the internal non-volatile storage in megabytes.

Used — Size of the files currently in local storage in megabytes.

Available — Currently unallocated drive space.

NOTE: Used plus Available may not exactly add up to the Total size due to system requirements.
