Statistics Window Features 3-3
Token Ring Statistics
• Peak (Magenta) — Indicates the maximum level of activity over all time
intervals since the window was invoked.
Statistics displayed in the color-coded strip charts will automatically update
within the time interval you have set using the clock symbol at the bottom of the
window (See
Setting the Statistics Poll Interval , below, for details on using the
clock symbol).
Setting the Statistics Poll Interval
Information displayed in the Statistics and Timer Statistics windows is updated
after (or, for windows in Delta mode, displayed for) the time period defined by
the Interval field available in each window. Each statistics window collects and
displays data according to its default polling interval. You can re-configure this
interval for each instance of a statistics window by using the clock symbol found
in the Statistics and Timer Statistics windows. Note that the poll interval returns
to its default value each time you close and then re-open a statistics window.
To set the Poll Interval:
1. Click on next to the Interval information box. The New Timer Interval text
box will appear.

(using a 24 hour format), or use the arrow buttons to change the value. Valid
time values range from 1 second to 23 hours, 59 minutes, 59 seconds.
3. Following the same process, select the minutes and seconds fields and either
type in a new value or use the arrow buttons to change the value.
NOTE
In NetSight Element Manager, the polling interval is set via the Tools—>Options
available from the primary window menu bar.
Refer to the NetSight Element Manager User’s Guide for full information on setting
device polling intervals.
