Error Threshold
The threshold value within the alarm timebase
that, once the percentage of errors per good
packet is exceeded, generates an error alarm.
Error Source
This area of the Repeater Configuration view
provides a series of buttons allowing you to select
the types of errors to include in the error sum.
The selectable error types are as follows:
CRC
The number of packets received by the module
with bad Cyclical Redundancy Checks (CRCs).
Runts
The number of runt packets received by the
module. A runt packet is one byte less than the
standard Ethernet frame of 64 bytes (not
including preamble).
OOW_Colls
The number of collisions out of the standard
window (51.2µs) due to a network problem.
Alignment
The number of misaligned packets detected by
the module.
No_Resource
The number of times the module ran out of
resources (i.e., lack of buffer space) and could not
accept packets.
Giants
The number of giant packets received by the
module. A giant packet exceeds 1518 bytes (not
including preamble).
