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.

Monitor by SFP

Optical fiber is commonly used for long distance data transmission. However, when link issues occur, it is very

costly to trouble shoot the fiber cable and fiber transceiver at remote sites. To solve this problem, Moxa

industrial Ethernet switches provide digital diagnostic and monitoring functions on Moxa SFP optical fiber links

and allow users to measure optical parameters and its performance from center site. This function can greatly

facilitate the trouble shooting process for optical fiber links and reduce costs for onsite debug.

DDM

Digital Diagnostic Monitoring (DDM) is a function to diagnose fiber status. By monitoring the temperature and

TX/RX power of all fiber ports, you can check if the fiber ports are working properly. Enabling the email warning

or relay warning functions, you can receive an alarm or relay if any fiber works over the threshold.
