Viewing Statistics
The Statistics dialog box allows you to view statistics on the major events of the MultiFRAD
operation. This dialog box is accessed by clicking the Statistics button on the Main MultiFRAD menu.
Statistics can be a helpful troubleshooting tool. For example, viewing the WAN Statistics you can
see if the MultiFRAD is sending or receiving on the WAN port. When the MultiFRAD is connected to
a frame relay network, it will transmit management frames approximately every ten seconds, trying to
establish communication with the provider’s switch. If the unit is sending frames but not receiving
any, this may be an indication of a problem with the link device or the frame relay network. Statistics
in the frame relay dialog box actually show the number of management frames being sent and
received, and can also indicate a link or frame relay network problem.
Another helpful statistic screen is DLCI. It reflects the status of the PVC, i.e., active or inactive and
whether or not the MultiFRAD is experiencing network congestion (reflected by FECNs or BECNs
received).
