2.3. O - Connection Overview
This is one of the most important information screens provided by RuiNet. It supplies
information on communication between the FieldServer and remote devices. A number of
aspect screens are available, and some of the aspect screens have more than one page.
Use the space bar to toggle between aspects and the PgUp, PgDn keys to toggle between
pages of the same aspect. The Connection Overview and Settings Aspect screens are
depicted below. The various parameters are described more fully in the tables that follow.

each connection. Occasional
errors may indicate noise but
may also indicate a systematic
error.

which drivers report stats but in some drivers
unavoidable differences exist. In general, however,
Rx Msg and Tx Msg correspond closely when
connection is healthy.
