Viewing Separate Tables – You can quickly display the configuration for channels, filters and buffers using the
tabbed window shown below. The information provided is described in the following tables.
Accept Event Status Controls the flow of events.
Ready – A single event will be generated, after which the status will be set by the RMON probe
to “Fired.” While in the Fired state, no events will be generated until the status is reset to Ready
or Always Ready.
Always Ready – Disables flow control and allows events to generated at will. Using this setting
runs the risk of generating a high volume of traffic and affecting network performance
