Diagnostics/Serial Statistics

Serial Statistics provides information on who is connected to the currently running Serial Service.

IP Rx Bytes indicates how much TCP data has been successfully transmitted on the Ethernet side of the

Serial Service.
Serial Tx Bytes indicates how much serial data has left the Serial port.
Serial Rx Bytes indicates the amount of data received on the Serial port.
IP Tx Bytes indicates how much TCP data has been successfully transmitted on the Ethernet side of the

Serial Service.
Connected represents the IP address and Port # of the remote device that’s connected; on a flat

network this could be the polling host. On a routed network this would be the upstream router

interface.
