2 Description
The NetPath 100 Frame Relay Channel Service Unit (FSU) is a special purpose T1/FT1 CSU/DSU which provides management and diagnostic functions through Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP), transported over a Frame Relay network. It also includes an integral modem which supports access to the CSU/DSU as well as other co-located equipment such as routers. The NetPath 100 can be factory optioned to include an ISDN Adapter (4 BRIs, for Backup and/or Bandwidth On­Demand). Network Service Providers (NSPs) who prefer to have independent management access from their end-user networks (customer networks), can utilize the isolated management PVC desi gned into the NetPath 100 f or network demarcation and diagnostics.

Figure 2-1 shows a system level view of the Ne tPath 100 FSU, including man agement transport. As shown in the figure, the Frame Relay network provides Permanent Virtual Circuits (PVCs) for both the Customer Data and FSU m anag ement.
NOTE: NetPath 100 is transparent to SVCs (Switched Virtual Circuits). The NetPath 100 can have up to two IP Addresses for management. One IP Address
allows it to communicate with SNMP work stations that have access to the NSP management PVC. A second IP Address can provide management access via a customer data PVC.
NetPath 100 can also send SNMP Traps to mu ltiple SNMP Alarm Servers via the man ­agement PVCs. The integral modem is used to dial into the Network Control Center (NCC) Terminal Server to access the SNMP Alarm Server and report faults that are prevented from being reported over the PVC management chan nels. It can also accept maintenance calls from NCC Work Stations to support operator interaction, and accept inbound calls from a customer or NCC Work Station to manage co-located devices such as routers.

2 Description
NetPath NP 100 provides a con figuration option to capture and rank IP Traffic in either Top Conversation Pair or Top Tal ker/Listener mode. By examining Top IP Traff ic sta­tistics, the network manager can determine the local device or the host/client connec­tions sending and receiving excessive traffic.

Control
The NetPath 100 can be factory-optioned to include an integral ISDN Adapter module. The ISDN adapter includes four “U” ISDN TA Interfaces with two integral NT1 In-
verse Multiplexers, thereby providing up to 512 Kbps of switched connectivity for net­work Backup and/or additional Bandwidth On-Demand.
Backup in Frame Relay Protocol utilizing the Router’s Primary Port can be via dedi- cated PVCs on an alternate port, or the frame switch manag er may reroute the or iginal PVCs to the Backup Frame Switch. It is also possible to b ypass the entire Frame Relay Network and initiate backup to a pool of ports on an alternate Frame Switch connected directly to another Router.
A typical network configuration showing the backup connection to a Backup Frame Switch using rerouted PVCs is shown in Figure 2-2.

ISDN Bandwidth On-Demand
Router
Bandwidth On-Demand provides an additional network connection for a second DTE (router) port based on a request from the DTE. In this configuration the NetPath 100 ISDN Adapter is protocol-transparent. The Router determines the protocol used.
A typical network configuration showing simultaneous Bandwidth On-Demand and Backup connections is shown in Figure 2-3.

WAN DLCI
Management IP Addressing
Customer Data
Center
The in-band Frame Relay Management Cha nnel WAN address is defined by th e DLCI (Data Link Connection Identifier). The WAN DLCI can be configured for a Dedicated PVC, or as a Tunneled channel within a Payload PVC. During initial installation the WAN DLCI can be set via the units rear panel Configuration DIP Switches, Local Console Port or Dial-In Console Port. Thereafter the DLCI can also be changed vi a in­band management access.
NetPath 100 has special features for Network Service Providers (NSPs) who require management access to the FSU to be isolated from the payload data. This isolated ac­cess is provided either by NetPath 100s ded icated network-facing management PVC as shown in Figure 2-1 or by the Tunneled management channel on a network-facing Payload PVC as shown in Figure 2-7.

WAN Management IP Address
NetPath 100 utilizes one IP Address on the dedi cated, network-facing Wide Area Net­work (WAN) management channel. This address is embedded within the various com­munications protocol stacks used for SNMP, Telnet and PPP. The unit’s WAN Management IP Address may be automatically learned from the first message received on the management PVC, or it can be set via the local or remote Console Port.
When optioned with ISDN, NetPath 100 can have several communications paths that allow the management channel to connect to the frame relay network in different plac­es. Each of these connection points could result in the management PVC routing through different IP sub-nets to reach the Network Control Center, or it may be desir­able to have the NetPath 100 appear as a logically different object in the SNMP man­ager, especially if static routing and dedicated backup ports are utilized. The setting/ learning of these additional IP Addresses is described in detail in S ection 4, “Config- uration, in this manual.
NetPath 100 will retain in Non-Volatile Memory (NVM), a separate WAN IP Address for each connection point. All communications via OOB PPP (Out-Of-Band Point-to­Point Protocol) will utilize whatever IP Address is in effect depending on how the unit is currently connected to the network. There are several options for establishing the WAN IP Address within the NetPath 100.
When the unit is shipped from the factory or when NVM is cleared on initial installa­tion, the WAN IP Address for each connection point is set to 00 0.0 00.0 00.000 , wh ich indicates no address is known.
The WAN IP Address to be used on the T1 link is automaticall y “learned” from the first valid IP message received over the unit’s management PVC. Learning will take place as long as the value of the WAN IP Address in NVM is 000.000.000.000. Once the IP Address is set or learned it is retained and used until the NVM is cleared or an­other addre s s is manually set.

Event Log
The NetPath 100 system software (fi rmware) is stored in flas h memory. A new version of the software can be downlo aded t o the un it f or s of twar e upg rade, or for restoration in the event an error is detected in the flash storage.
A description of the software download process is provided in Section 5, “Diagnos- tics, of this manual.
The NetPath 100 provides an MIB which includes standard MIB-II groups and also contains a Private MIB Extension which supports the issuance of unique Traps. Traps are issued either in-band or dial-ou t (out-of-band) via the on- board modem, depending on the specific fault detected.
Section 5, “Diagnostics” of this manual lists the MIB objects and the Trap reporting path for each.
NetPath 100 includes an Event Log which captures Trap occurrences and logs them into a table for SNMP retrieval. The table stores up to 255 of the latest occurred events.
The log table includes the following:
A unique event number for each event. Maximum number is 65,536 after which the count restarts. The count is als o restar ted b y a un it res et or power up.
A relative time-stamp which counts from when the unit last started operation.

Modem & Call Director
Dial Line
The integral on-board modem can be switched to any one of the interfaces of the Net­Path 100 by the call director. The call director conn ects the modem to the Base module, Optional ISDN Adapter module, AUX 1 Port, or AUX 2 Port.
In this way, the modem is used for out-of-band trap reporting (NetPath 100 Base mod­ule, Option module or DTE device connected to an AUX Port) and accepts incoming calls for management access of the NetPath 100, DTE device or any other device con­nected to an AUX Port.

4 Operation
This section contains configuration and operation information for basic NetPath 100. Refer to Section 6, “Options” of this manual for installation, configuration and opera­tion information for NetPath 100 Options such as the ISDN Adapter.
Configuration
NetPath 100 configuration consists of initially setting the T1, CSU parameters and the WAN Management Channels DLCI address via the rear panel DIP Switches, via dial­in VT-100 console connection or via dir ect conn ected VT-100 terminal. These par am­eters can also be reconfigured via in-band T elnet Management s ession after the in itial installation.
Additional parameters are configured via in-band Telnet, dial-i n VT-100 console con ­nection or direct connected VT-100 terminal.
The configuration procedures to complete the installation using the DIP Switches for initial settings, are presented in and should be performed in the following order:
Power the unit on while clearing NVM.
Use the DIP Switches to set the T1 Interface (CSU) parameters.
Use the DIP Switches to set the DS0 (Time Slot) configuration of the T1 link.
Use the DIP Switches to set the WAN DLCI address.
Establish management session.
Set other operating parameters.

4 Operation
Power On
With all the connections completed, the NetPath 100 is ready to be powered on.
Proceed by holding in the recessed push button switch labeled NVM RESET / CONFIG on the units rear panel while plugging in the power cord and continue to hold the button for approximately four (4) seconds. This will “clear” the unit’s NVM, resetting all the configuration parameters to their default values. After the NVM Reset button is released, the NetPath 100 will go through the power-on sequence as follows:
a. The POWER LED will light immediately and stay on. b. The READY LED will flash while the unit performs its self-tes t (test
duration - a pproximatel y 45 seconds).
c. The READY LED will be ON steady after successful completion of
the self-test.
d. The T1 ALARM and FR MGMT. LEDs should not be flashing
together.
e. All other LED indications should be ignored until configuration has
been completed.
If the LED indications are not as d escribed above, refer to section 5 Diagnostics of this manual. If operation looks normal, proceed with DIP Switch Configurations.
DIP Switch Configurations
NOTE: If the Dial Line has not been connected to the NetPath 100 prior to powerin g the unit on, the unit will issue a Dial Line Failure In-Band Trap to the Trap Manager after it completes its Modem and Dial Line self test.
The Configuration DIP Switches are located on the rear panel of the NetPath 100, and appear as shown in Figure 4-1.

CAUTION
If either WAN or Payload/CPE Mgmt IP Address or Encap (see next pa
e) settings are altered, any in-band management session (Telnet) will be terminated after the Save (SA) command is issued, and will have to be reestablished.
5. Frame Mgr - Select FrRelay to configure for normal Frame Manager function.
Setting the Frame Manager to “ClrChan” causes the unit to operate in the Transparent mode. Transparent mode will also disable Frame Relay related monitoring and statistics gathering, and block access to Frame Relay related configuration screens.
CAUTION
If the Frame Manager setting is changed, the NetPath 100 will perform a system reset after the Save [SA] command is issued. The system reset will terminate any console session in pro
ress and interrupt data traffic.
Modem Setup
1. Model: Displays the model and firmware version of the installed modem.
2. Dial String - Enter modem AT string with phone number to dial Trap Manager
and any other AT codes (if required) for modem initialization. Default is (blank).
NOTE: Each character sequence “^M within the AT string causes <CR> to be sent followe d by a one (1) second delay, making it p ossible to def ine multiple command lines.
3. Answer Call - Enter modem AT string (if required) for modem initialization
when answering a call. Default is (blank).
4. AUX 1 Setup - Enter modem header and “AT” string for modem initialization
when answering a call for AUX 1 port. The header consists of the first one to six characters of the string, which specify the operating mode, data rate, parity, and number of data bits for the device connected to the AUX port. Choices are:
Operating Mode - “A” (Answer), “D” (Dial Out), “B” (Bi-Directional) Data Rate - “12” (1200), “24” (2400), “48” (4800), “96” (9600), “192” (19200),
288 (28800), 384 (38400), 576 (57600 bps). (Data Rate is the asynchronous interface rate. Actual modem rate is
negotiated upon connection.) Parity - “N” (None), “E” (Even), or “O” (Odd) Data Bits - “8” (8 data bits), or “7” (7 data bits)
980-001-0210K NetPath 100 Users Manual - Installation Guide 4-13 November 2000

NOTES:
Operating Mode A or B - On incoming call, modem must establish
connection within 60 seconds.
Operating Mode D or B - Raising DTR will assign modem to AUX Port
(if not already in-use) within five seconds.
Each character sequence “^M” within the AT string causes <CR> to be
sent followe d by a one (1) se cond delay, making it possible to define
multiple command lines.
5. AUX 2 Setup - Functions the same as AUX 1 above, but without RTS sensing.
NOTE: AUX 2 Contact Sense Alarm feature has been obsoleted. Entering “CS for the first two characters of the AUX 2 Setup string will cause the Aux2 Alm label to be displayed on the System View Screen. However, no Alm status will ever be issued.
6. Retry Count - Enter number of times the NetPath 100 will reattempt a connection
when dialing out via modem, after the initial attempt has failed.
7. Retry Holdoff - Enter the delay time before a dial-out attempt will be retried.
8. Modem Line - Select Test or No Test to enable or disable the automatic dial-
tone testing of the dial line (during power-up/reset as well as the 4-hour routine test). Default = No Test.
Inactivity Logout
Set the console session inactivity (idle) time, which when reached will force a logout.
Encapsulation
Protocols are encapsulated and carried within eac h Frame Relay “Frame” and are iden ­tified by the NLPID (Network Level Protocol ID). The NLPID may identify a specific protocol such as defined by IETF, or indicate a set of lower level protocols such as SNAP (SubNetwork Access Protocol).
WAN Encap - Select the type of IP encapsulation to be u sed for private network PVC management access. Selections are:
Learning - The unit will attempt to learn automatically. Once a value is entered or auto-learned, auto-learning will be discontinued.
Raw - No protocol specified. Data (user’s payload) is encapsulated only by the frame of the Frame Relay packet.
IETF - Protocol will be specified by its own NLPID. SNAP - Protocol will be under the SNAP NLPID.
P/C Encap - Select the type of IP en capsulation to be used for management acces s via
the Payload PVC or CPE (private user) PVC. Selections are:

4 Operation
4. Network (DTE) - Consists of the settings required for the various protocols. These
include T391, N392, N393 and N391.
T391/Status Enquiry Rate - Interval in seconds between the LMI Status Enquiries issued by the NetPath 100 to the Network (Frame Switch).
The ratio of N392 to N393 defines t he rat e of Bad/ No LMI res ponses to Coun t of events, beyond which the Network link is declared Out-of-Service. This ratio is set by selecting values (1 to 10) for each of these parameters, defined as follows:
N392/Event Error Threshold - Number of Bad/No responses to LMI Status Enquiries issued by NetPath 100.
N393/Even t Count - Count of all monitored requests (to be used for the ratio). N391/Full Status Frequency - The Frequency Number n will cause every
th
n
LMI Status Enquiry issued to be a Full LMI Status Enquiry.
PVC BECN/FECN Threshold - NetPath 100 maintains a count of seconds during which a receive frame contained a BECN or FECN bit set. When number of seconds containing BECN or FECN bits for any PVC in the most recent interval equals or exceeds this Threshold Setting, an alarm is declared.
5. User (DCE) - Consists of the settings required for the various protocols. These
include T392, N392 and N393.
T392/Status Enqui r y T i m eou t - Timeout interval in seconds while waiting for an LMI Status Enquiry from the User equipment.
The ratio of N392 to N393 defines the rate of Bad/No LMI inquiries to Count of events, beyond which the User link is declared Out-of-Service. This ratio is set by selecting the values (1 to 10) for each of these parameters, defined as follows: N392/Event Error Threshold - Number of Bad/No inquiries for LMI Status Enquiries issued by the User equipment.
N393/Even t Count - Count of all monitored inquiries (to be used for the ratio). Force Full Status Response - Enable causes the NetPath 100 to send four
consecutive Full LMI Enquiry Messages toward the Network upon detecting a recovery of its T1 link (or ISDN link if so optioned and active). Upon receiving a Full Response it forwards that to the DTE, regardless of that enquiry type. In some cases this will speed recovery from a link outage. Disable causes the NetPath 100 to follow normal conventions per the N391 parameter.
6. Link Err Threshold - Disable or set the threshold of Data Frame Error Seconds
which when reached or exceeded causes an alarm to be declared. Set independently for Network and User sides.

The PVC Performance Configuration Screen allows you to v iew and alter p arameters for Network Performance measurement operations on a per PVC basis.
The PVC Performance Configuration Screen is shown in Figure 4-12.
Figure 4-12 PVC Performance Configuration Screen
1. Desired Delay Mon Rate - Setting for the rate at which a Delay measuremen t packet is injected on each PVC in the list specified at the bottom of this screen. Default value (10) dictates that within each 10-second period, every PVC on the list is measured once. A PVC’s packet is considered lost if it does not return before a subsequent packet is injected on that PVC. The packet send rate cannot exceed 10 per second.
NOTE: NetPath 100 Delay measurement packets are 36 bytes in length, when issued. A NetPath looping (receiving and returning) a Delay measurement packet will add two additional bytes to the packet.
2. Min Pkts for Delay Alarm - Setting for the number of packets that must be received within the current interval on a PVC before the PVC Delay Thres average is considered a valid check for that PVC. If the number is not reached within the interval, that PVC cannot cause the alarm condition to be declared or maintained, based on the average of the packets received.

3. Desired Loss Mon Rate - Setting for the rate at which a Loss measurement packet (Packet-Counting packet) is injected on each PVC in the list specified at the bottom of this screen. Default value (60) dictates that within each 60-second period, every PVC in the list is measured once. A PVC’s packet is considered lost if it does not return before a subsequent packet is injected on that PVC. On a per­PVC basis, the originating unit delays 10 seconds if the previous response was lost. The packet send rate cannot exceed 10 per second.
NOTE: NetPath 100 Loss packets are 42 bytes in length, when issued. A NetPath looping (receiving and returning) a Loss packet will add two additional bytes to the packet.
4. Drpd Mon Pkt Thres - NetPath 100 maintains a count of monitor packets lost (both Delay and Loss packets) for the curren t interval fo r each PVC. Whe n either of the monitor packet counts on any PVC equals or exceeds this threshold setting, a PVC Drpd Mon Alarm is declared. The alarm is cleared when all PVCs in a subsequent interval fail to equal or exceed the threshold value. Applies to auto and manually learned DLCIs.
5. PVC Delay Thres - NetPath 100 maintains an average delay measurement for each PVC for the current interval. A PVC Delay Alarm is declared when the average on any PVC equals or exceeds this setting. The alarm is cleared when all PVCs in a subsequent interval fail to equal or exceed the threshold value. App lies to auto and manually learned DLCIs.
6. PVC Dlvd Pkt Thres - A PVC Dlvd Pkt Alarm is declared when the percentage of packets delivered on any monitored PVC falls below this threshold setting. The alarm is cleared when all PVCs in a subsequent interval fail to fall below the threshold value. Applies to auto and manually learned DLCIs.
7. Interval Period - Sets the time period for each interval of PVC statistics, from one (1) to 15 minutes.
NOTE: Changing the interval period will cause all PVC and Protocol Monitoring statistics to be cleared.
8. LMI CIR Va lues - Selecting Use, sets (automatically) the CIR value of each PVC to the value reported by the Frame Switch LMI message.
NOTE: This feature operates only with “LMI LMI Protocol selected.
9. CIR Bins - Sets the upper value (in %) for each of the six bins in which CIR

10. Auto & Manual - Specifies the Tx and Rx CIR value and Mon (monitoring packet(s)) type to be used when PVCs are added to the statistics list. Valid CIR values are 0 through 1536, default value is zero.
Auto - When a non-configured PVC is detected, the indicated settings are used un -
til reconfigured by an operator, learned from the LMI, or the PVC is un­learned (via reset or software purge).
Manual - For PVCs manually added (using the AddPVC command), the param-
eters will be as specified here.
Mon - Selects the Monitor setting for PVCs added automatically and manually.
Defaults are None for Auto, and Delay for Manual.
Dlay = Delay packets only. Loss = Loss packets only. Both = Delay and Loss packets. None = Neither packet types will be sent.
11. Add PVC - Inserts one or more additional DLCIs onto the lis t to be monitored.
12. Delete PVC - Removes one or more DLCIs from the list.
PVC,TxCR,RxCR,Mon - Heading under which the DLCIs and parameters are listed
(in numerical order) for all PVCs to be included for continuous background per­formance measurement. Up to a maximum of 270 DLCIs may be listed.

Test Installation
The final step of the NetPath 100 installation is to verify operations. This is done through the Network Control Center (NCC).
1. Contact the Network Control Center and inform the Operator that the physical
installation and initial configuration are completed.
2. The NCC will establish a management session to the NetPath 100 and complete
any final/additional configuration, and review the systems status screens to verify operation.
NOTE: To enable NCC management access, the local console session must be logged out, and if the NCC is attempting a dial-in connection, the local terminal must also be disconnected from the AUX 2 port.
If this installation is configured for Out-Of-Band Trap Reporting, a test of this feature should also be performed. This is done by initiating a Network communications failure which causes the NetPath 100 to issue a Trap Report to the Trap Manager. This test must be coordinated with the NCC Operator to verify that the Trap Report is received and that Network communications are restored after the test.
3. Coordinate the initiation of this test with the NCC Operator, and when told to do
so, disconnect the T1 Line from the NetPath 100. The NetPath 100 will dial-out to issue a Trap Report after approximately five (5) seconds. This can be seen on the front panel by the MODEM IN USE LED going steady ON. After the MODEM IN USE LED goes OFF, reconnect the T1 Line and confirm with the NCC Operator that the Trap Report has been received, and that good communications have been reestablished with the NetPath 100.
NOTE: If the NCC management session (Step # 2) was established via dial-in, this must be terminated before the NetPath 100 can use the Modem to issue the Trap Re­port.
This dial-out Trap Report test is highly recommended because it adds a greater level of confidence to the completion of the installation process. This test verifies all of the following, in addition to the normal operation of the NetPath 100:
The installation and initial testing are now complete. If any results were other than those described, refer to Section 5, “Diagnostics” of this manual for assistance.

BER Testing:
BER patterns which can be directed toward the Network (T1 facility) include QRSS, Alt O nes or 20 47 P ayload. 2047 Payl oad can also be directed toward the User (DTE - high-speed port) Only one BER test may be active at a time. The results are a count of the number of Blocks Sent, Blocks Errored, Block Error Rate and the duration of the test, displayed as shown on the example screen above. When the BERT duration reaches the maximum count of 99:59:59, all counts freeze until cleared or reset by the operator (the BERT data however, continue s to be sent).
Loop to User - Sets a DTE Loopback at the Data Port toward the User. T est Pkts to Netw - Sends Lin k T est Packets (40 -1590 octet s) toward the network
(T1 Facility). Displayed test results include selected DLCI, packets sent, packets dropped, percent received, octets sent, test duration and; average and maximum delay (network and full delay), for each network.
NOTES:
1. PVC tests will prompt for the input of a PVC DLCI destination.
2. This tests delay values may not correlate to values displayed on the PVC Statistics
Screens because the Link Test Packet size (40 - 1590 octets) is larger than the
Delay measurement packet (36 octets).
3. Delay and Loss measurement packets (for ALL
PVCs) are halted, while a “Test Pkts to Netw test is performed. This will also effect the Delay and Loss packet counts and measurement fields on the PVC Statistics Screens.
4. Initiating certain test options, when management access is via the T1 link, will terminate management.These tests will be blocked and an Error Message displayed on the screen. Examples of this are BERT to Netw and Test Pkts to Netw where the DLCI selection matches the management DLCI of this unit.

The Frame Relay traffic parameters displayed for each DLCI are:
DLCI - The DLCI to which this line of statistics applies. “Etc is the summation
of all unlisted DLCIs and “Sum” is the summation of all DLCIs.
RxPkts & TxPkts - Count of packets received (Rx) and of packets sent (Tx).
NOTE: Measurement Packets (Delay, Loss and Link Test) are included in
the RxPkts and TxPkts counts of the NetPath originating the packets. Measurement Packets are included only in the RxPkts count of a NetPath looping (receiving and returning) Measurement Packets.
BECN & FECN - Count of packets with the BEC N or FECN bit set, up
to 65,535.
RxDE & TxDE - Count of packets received (Rx) with the DE bit set and count of
packets sent (Tx) with the DE bit set, up to 65,535 (does not include time Measurement Packets).
Delay (mS) Avg & Max - Average and Maximum delay of Delay measurement
Packets received back from a distant NetPath unit. These values are overwritten with 9999 during an interval where PVC Drpd Mon Pkt Alarm has been detected for that specific PVC. These values are set to “0” (zero) for PVCs not designated for the sending of Delay monitor packets. These values will freeze (not update) and Delay and Loss measurement packets (for ALL
PVCs) are halted, while a Test Pk ts to Netw test is performed.
PVCs are displayed and added as follows:
WAN Management PVC and PVCs added to the PVC List (on the PVC Performance Configuration Screen, up to a total of 270) are always displayed. Additional PVCs are included in the “Etc” PVC, which is also always displayed.
With LMI Protocol set to “None”-
A PVC will be added to the display if data is received from the network on that PVC and it is not on the PVC List, and there are less than 270 PVCs already displayed. It will be included in the “Etc” PVC if 270 PVCs are already displayed. If data is transmitted to the network on a PVC that is not on the PVC List, it is included in the “Etc” PVC.
With LMI Protocol not set to “None”-
A PVC will be added to the display if it is reported in a Full LMI Status Report from the network and it is not o n the PVC List, and there are less than 270 PVCs already displayed. It will be included in the “Etc” PVC if 270 PVCs are already displayed. A PVC will also be included in the “Etc” PVC, if data is received or transmitted on that PVC and it is not on the PVC List and is not reported in a Full LMI Status Report.

Specific PVC or “Etc”- Enter DLCI number for the desired PVC (or “Etc”). Pro-
vides a display of the activity for the selected DLCI beginning with the se­lected interval. If an interval contains no activity, a single line with DLCI number and all other values = “0” is displayed.
All PVCs - Enter All (or only “A”). Displays a listing by intervals providing an in-
dividual line of statistics for each DLCI found within that in terval. Within the interval, the DLCIs are listed in numerical DLCI order, with the interval number (count) placed only on the first line of statistics for that DLCI. If an interval contains no activity, a single line with DLCI = “Etc” and all other counts = “0” is displayed.
Sum - Enter Sum (or only “S”). Provides one line of statistics for each interval, con-
taining the sum of all PVC counts within the interval. The Average and Maximum time measurement values are set to “0” (zero). T he DLCI value is displayed as “Sum.”
