Data Port Statistics
The Data Port Statistics dialog box displays statistical information, such as bytes or blocks
received/transmitted, for the data port.
This window shows the statistics for the data channel. You can view the channel statistics, as well as
various hardware signals (CTS, RTS, DSR, DCD, DTR) and XON/XOFF (flow control) status. It also
gives an indication of buffer utilization and receive flow control time.
These may be indicators that either the data channel, or more likely the device attached to it, are
being utilized more than the capacity of the DLCI or the frame relay network allows. Excessive buffer
utilization and/or receive flow control time can usually be reduced or eliminated by slowing the speed
at which the channel is operating.
