56 • SMP Gateway User Manual
8.1 Information Provided by SMP Stats
Statistics provide information on the SMP Gateway activity, which can be useful for the
configuration and maintenance of the gateway itself. This information is organized as pages and
folders. A folder does not contain any statistics: it is a place holder for statistics pages.
When you open SMP Stats, its displays the following folders:
The Connections folder regroups counters and statistics pages about the performance of the
SMP Gateway’s communications components:
The Network (TCPIP) folder contains the list of all the network connections you defined
under Connections, with SMP Config. Each connection has its own statistics page.
The Serial (Asynchronous) folder contains the list of all the serial connections. As in the
Network folder, there is a statistics page for each connection.
The Modem Pool folder contains the list of any modem pools and modems you may
have defined with SMP Config. The statistics found in these folders provide an easy way
to monitor the communications status of the SMP Gateway. For example, you can look at
the Receive counter and Transmit counter values to determine whether the gateway is
exchanging data with a connected device or control center.
Note: The Modem Pool folder is visible only for the SMP 16, which has an
integrated modem, and for an SMP 4 purchased with the modem support
option. Furthermore, a modem pool must be configured on the
SMP Gateway.
The Master Protocols and Slave Protocols folders contain counters and statistics about each
instance of a protocol component. Each protocol component contains protocol-specific items
that describe the messages exchanged with a device or control center. (The Slave Protocols
folder is missing, in the previous example, because we have to define slave protocol
components first.)
The System folder contains counters and statistics about the operation of the SMP Gateway
hardware and software.
8.2 SMP Stats Features
SMP Stats offers you several handy features: resetting statistics, printing them, refreshing them,
and changing how time is displayed.

You can reset certain statistics, such as global RTDX or web server statistics:
