Software Release 3.00 StormTracker-Site Manager and Administration User Guide 08-01148-01-200
Modem management
The first step in using EtherCraft is to select the modem(s) to monitor.
EtherCraft provides the following modem selection capabilities:
• Time delay entry, to specify the time delay to refresh data a specified
number of seconds.
• Monitoring of all EtherLoop modems
• Monitoring selected modems using choices from lists of Client and Server
modems
• Specification of the delay time between modem queries
EtherLoop modem speeds and training counts
EtherCraft presents EtherLoop modem speedsusing tables that contain codes
representing 24 possible modem speed levels (0-23). Modem training counts
are calculated at each speed and the results of the training counts are shown
using a code (seeTable 6-3 on page 6-6). For example, if a modem is trained at
a speed of 2857 Kbps (Speed Code 17) and the speed is found to be acceptable,
a training Code of 10 is displayed to indicate the results of the training.
Note: With this release, only speeds 0-19 are available.
EtherCraft speeds tables
Table 6-2 on page 6-5 lists the modem speed codes and the estimated
throughput for the corresponding QAM16 and QPSK speed values.
