Statistics

frames for each port according to the following criteria:
●
Frame length
●
Frame type
●
Bad frames
This information provides you with an overview of the data traffic and any problems on the

Utilization

nothing is displayed. Depending on the frame length (system dependent), the display can
deviate by up to 20% since the proportion of pauses between frames increases the shorter
the frame.
