Displaying Port Stats
Three options are available on the Port Stats menu:
■ Port Status
■ Te r m i o
■ Register Dump
These options allow the system to show certain port characteristics.
Port Status
The Port Status selection is a real-time representation of the RS-232 leads. It
includes:
■ Transmit rate
■ Receive rate
■ Total characters received
■ Total characters transmitted
■ Buffered data counts
The Port Status display is useful in troubleshooting wiring problems, chattering
lines or devices (modems) and in monitoring load activity over a single line.
Activity measurements can be taken by noting the Transmitted and Received
counts and comparing them with other serial ports.
