Excess Coll The number of frames for which transmission failed due to excessive collisions

MAC Transmit The number of frames that failed transmission due to an internal MAC sublayer transmit error

Carrier Sense The number of times that the carrier sense condition was lost or never asserted when attempting to transmit a frame


Performance Views

This section provides brief descriptions of the Performance views available for the devices in SPECTRUM.

Performance views display performance statistics in terms of a set of transmission attributes, e.g., cell rates, frame rates, % error, etc. A typical view is shown in Figure 6. The instantaneous condition of each transmission attribute is recorded in a graph. The statistical information for each attribute is presented in the adjacent table.

Generally, you determine performance at the device level through Performance views accessed from the Device and Application icons. You determine performance at the port/interface level through Performance views accessed from Interface icons.

For more information on Performance views, refer to the SPECTRUM Views documentation.

The following paragraphs list the performance attributes displayed for each Performance view supported by this management module.

Configuration Views

This section describes the various Configuration views available for models of the devices in SPECTRUM.

Configuration views (Figure 7)let you view and modify current settings for the modeled device and its interfaces, ports, and applications.

The device model types support the following Configuration views:

• The Device Configuration View, accessible from the Device icon, provides configuration and operational status information about the device.

• The Interface Configuration View, accessible from the Interface icon, provides configuration and operational status information about the interface or port.

• The Fore User Application Configuration View, accessible from the ATM User Application icon, provides transmission information about the device’s ATM connection.

You should be familiar with the network operation of your PC and workstation devices before using the configuration views to configure them.
