Using the FRX4000, FRX6000, and SmartSwitch 1800 Hub View

sequence (like the CRC, or cyclic redundancy check) is a
value computed at both the sending and receiving ends
of the connection; if the computed values donÕt match,
the frame is assumed to have been corrupted in transit. A
value consistently greater than zero indicates line
problems.

Logical Rejects

The sum of frame rejects Ñ frames which are dropped due
to congestion or some other transmission problem Ñ and
reject frames Ñ protocol frames that notify the sender that
one or more packets is missing from a sequence. The total
is expressed as a rate (rejects/second); a value
consistently greater than zero indicates line problems.

Rx Utilization %

The ratio of non-ßag characters (the space between
frames) to the total number of characters received on the
selected serial port; that is, the percentage of available
bandwidth being utilized.

Tx Utilization %

The ratio of non-ßag characters (the space between
frames) to the total number of characters transmitted on
the selected serial port; that is, the percentage of available
bandwidth being utilized.
