Receive Collisions:

- indicates the number of receive collisions

detected at the currently selected Ethernet port (Port

n

).

Transmit Collisions:

- indicates the number of transmit

collisions detected at the currently selected Ethernet port (Port

n

).

Port Media Type:

- displays the type of media interface at the

currently selected port. Possible entries include:

Ports 1-12

10BASE-T

- 10Base-T (UTP)

Ports 13 & 14

SPIM-T - 10Base-T (UTP)
SPIM-T1 - 10Base-T (STP)
SPIM-F1 - Fiber Optic (SMA)
SPIM-F2 - Fiber Optic (ST)
SPIM-C - Thin-net coax
SPIM-A - AUI

Port Administrative Status:

- shows if the currently selected

port is enabled or disabled.

ON - the port is enabled.

OFF - the port is disabled.

Port Segmentation Status:

- shows if the currently selected port

is segmented. A port is segmented (logically disconnected) when
the MRXI detects 33 consecutive collisions on the attached segment
or if the collision detector is on longer than 2.4 ms. When a good
packet is received at the port (without causing a collision), the port
is automatically reconnected to the network. Possible status
displays include:

SEG - indicates that the port is segmented.

ON - indicates a normal connection.

Port Link Status:

- displays the link status for the currently

selected port. The link status is only applicable to 10Base-T
Twisted Pair and Fiber Optic Link segments. Possible field
contents:

LNK (link) - indicates that a link is established between the
currently selected port, and the device at the remote end of the
segment.
