6.4 Channel Statistics
The Channel Statistics test separates incoming frames into channels based on
a number of defining characteristics (Definitions) and shows information about
each channel (Statistics). The test is mostly used for in-service monitoring,
where it provides data for detailed analysis of the traffic types present in the
network.
6.4.1 Ports Setup and Status
The first step in running an application is to set up the port interfaces. This is
done on the Ports Setup screen, which also provides port status
information.
The setup options and status information related to the Ethernet interface are
described in a separate section:
