Frame Relay Performance Statistics - Paradyne iMarc SLV Operation Manual

3. Status and Statistics

Frame Relay Performance Statistics

The following statistics appear when Frame Relay is selected from the
Performance Statistics menu.
The Frame Relay option does not appear when service type is PPP.
All counts continue to increment until the maximum value is reached (2
the count starts over. The NextLink and PrevLink function keys only appear when
multiple frame relay links have been configured.
For iMarc units with an ISDN DBM:
All enabled multilink aggregate links are available for selection from the Frame
Relay Performance Statistics screen. The multilink aggregate link must be
enabled if statistics are to be collected for this frame relay link. When the frame
relay link is the multilink aggregate link, statistics for its related constituent links
can be viewed.
To view the statistics for a multilink constituent link, select the ConstLinkStats
function key. All enabled multilink constituent links become available for selection.
Select the desired constituent link from the Multilink Constituent Link field.
The frame relay performance statistics collected for any frame relay link are
collected for multilink frame relay links, unless the link is a multilink aggregate link.
In this case, statistics for Frame Relay LMI and Frame Relay HDLC Errors are not
collected; these statistics are available for multilink constituent links only.
