Statistics

Access the Monitor by selecting Monitoring from the left selection bar. Monitor by System allows the user to

view a graph that shows the combined data transmission activity of all of the Moxa switch’s 18 ports. Click one

of the four options—Total Packets, TX Packets, RX Packets, or Error Packets—to view transmission

activity of specific types of packets. Recall that TX Packets are packets sent out from the Moxa switch, RX

Packets are packets received from connected devices, and Error Packets are packets that did not pass TCP/IP’s

error checking algorithm. The Total Packets option displays a graph that combines TX, RX, and TX Error, RX

Error Packet activity. The graph displays data transmission activity by showing Packets/s (i.e., packets per

second, or pps) versus sec. (seconds). In fact, three curves are displayed on the same graph: Uni-cast

packets (in red color), Multi-cast packets (in green color), and Broad-cast packets (in blue color). The graph

is updated every few seconds, allowing the user to analyze data transmission activity in real-time.

Monitor by Port

Access the Monitor by Port function by selecting FE or GE Ports or Port i, in which i = 1, 2, …, G2, from the

left pull-down list. The Port i options are identical to the Monitor by System function discussed above, in that

users can view graphs that show All Packets, TX Packets, RX Packets, or Error Packets activity, but in this case,

only for an individual port. The All Ports option is essentially a graphical display of the individual port activity

that can be viewed with the Console Monitor function discussed above. The All Ports option shows three vertical

bars for each port. The height of the bar represents Packets/s for the type of packet, at the instant the bar is

being viewed. That is, as time progresses, the height of the bar moves up or down so that the user can view the

change in the rate of packet transmission. The blue colored bar shows Uni-cast packets, the red colored bar

shows Multi-cast packets, and the orange colored bar shows Broad-cast packets. The graph is updated every

few seconds, allowing the user to analyze data transmission activity in real-time.
