Information in this Display
On each line (see CCITT Recommendation X.25) in the above display:
●
The left most field shows the time, to hundredths of a second.
●
The next field displays
T
(Transmit) or
R
(Receive). (Transmitted packets are
also displayed in reverse video.)
●
The next field identifies the packet type.
●
Q
,
M
, or
D
appears between the packet type and the
LCN
field if the
Q
,
M
, or
D
bit is turned on in the packet.
●
LCN
is the logical channel of a data session.
●
PR
is the packet receive sequence number.
●
PS
is the packet send sequence number.
●
LNG
is the length of the data in bytes.
●
The field to the right of the colon contains the data in a data packet. (Data
exceeding the screen width is displayed on the next line.)
Pending display of data packets, the line monitor stores them in a buffer. If the display
cannot keep up with the line's data traffic, the buffer will overflow, and some packets
will not be displayed. When this occurs, the message
Line Monitor Buffer is Full
appears. Display buffer overflow does not impair data integrity or interfere with traffic
on the line.
