4.Select “Statistics” to view test results. The “LAN Statistics” screen appears, with Transmit statistics on the left and Receive statistics on the right.
What to Look ForAn acceptable level of error statistics is impossible to define. This level varies depending on the size and configuration of your network, and the applications being run. For example, collisions naturally occur in Ethernet and Fast Ethernet networks. Acceptable levels vary with the number of nodes on each segment and the applications they are running. We recommend you consult your network administrator when reviewing the LAN Statistics screen.
