Resetting Counters
To reset all error and performance counters for the current ring managed by the
MicroMMAC-T, click on the # (Station Number) symbol atop the station index
number column. A dialog box will appear showing the last reset time (if any) and
“Reset All Counters Now?”. Click on OK to reset the counters. The error and
performance counters will be reset to their initial values.
This will reset all Network Statistics counters to zero (for statistics gathered from
all stations on the currently monitored ring that are attached to the
MicroMMAC-T-controlled hub). It will also reset individual stations’ error and
performance counters (seen in the Station Statistics windows) for stations
attached to the currently monitored ring.
Although statistics are only reset for the stations attached to the currently
monitored hub, the reset will be reflected in all station lists for a ring spanning
more than one hub.
The Station Map
The Station Map window ( Figure 5-2 ) graphically illustrates the ring
configuration in downstream neighbor order with respect to the currently
monitored module, and displays address information for individual stations
inserted into the ring. It also allows you to access statistics or timer statistics for
each inserted ring station, including the MicroMMAC-T’s onboard management
station. You can also use the window to remove stations from the ring, and set
station alarm limits.
!
CAUTION
Resetting the counters effectively “wipes” the error history of the MicroMMAC-T since it
was last reset. Be aware of others monitoring the ring.
