MAC Statistics View (Rx)
From Detail View, click on the	button to open a window with MAC Statistics

View for capture. From Summary View, set the view preferences to MAC Statistics (Rx) to see this view in the first tab.

MAC Statistics View for capture shows module activity and counters during capture. It provides a visual reference for what a resource is doing. Counters are incremented as the resource captures packets. This view also provides general information about the resource.

The MAC Statistics View in capture mode is shown in Figure 6-5.
