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.

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.

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.

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 unit’s 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 100’s 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.

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.
•

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 Channel’s 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 unit’s 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 it’s 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.

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.

Screen Format
NetPath 100 supports Block as well as Character mode management access.
To enable Block mode, set the VT-100 terminal (or emulator) to “LOCAL ECHO.”
When logging in, along with entering the password, type “ \VT100” (include a space
between the last character of the password and the “\” character) fo llowed by ENTER.
In this mode, the VT-100 terminal will echo characters to the screen locally and s tore
them, sending the entire string to the NetPath 100 when ENTER is pressed. The NetPath 100 will not echo received characters in this mode. It will process all received
characters at once.
Logout is automatic on disconnecting the local terminal, terminating a dial-in call, or
after a timeout period (approx. 10 mins.) if a Telnet session is broken.
Logout can be done manually by selecting Logo ut (LO) from the S ystem View Screen.
The general format for NetPath 100 screen displays is as follows:
Title - A screen title is always shown at the top center of each screen.
Body - The central portion shows the specific screen details for that screen.
Command Line - User commands are always entered at the bottom of the screen
marked by the cursor character “>”.
Error or Warning Messages - Are always shown immedi ately below the C omman d
Line.
Help Text
Edits - Selections
Examples of each of the screen displays are shown in the appropriate sections of this
manual.
Help text is provided for each of the NetPath 100 screen displays to assist the user.
Help text for a screen is accessed from that screen by entering “?” followed by ENTER. The HELP command is shown on the command line of each applicable screen.
Edits to parameters fields, such as on the configuration screens, are made one field at
a time. Each field is edited by entering the character used to design ate the field (shown
in brackets) on the screen, followed by the equal sign “=” and a selection from a picklist (a number, an ID, or a string of characters), all followed by ENTER.
Current selections are highlighted on the screens by being bracketed by “>>”.....“<<”
characters.
NOTE: Multiple fields may be edited using a single command (except when indicated
otherwise) by separating the entries by commas, all followed by ENTER.

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 User’s Manual - Installation Guide 4-13

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:

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.

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.
NOTE: Additional pages displaying the DLCIs are accessed using the [P=]
command as shown on the top of the screen.

Top Talker/Listeners are determined by separately tracking, in the send and receive direction, the IP address and the total traffic of the mo st prolific transmitters
and receivers of IP traffic within the measurement interval.
Top Conversation Pairs are determined by separately tracking, in send and receive
direction, IP address pairs of each host/client conversation and the total traffic sent
by each pair during the measurement interval.
Both Top Conversation Pair and Talker/Listener are calculated across the aggregate link regardless of the PVC on which the traffic occurred.

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 system’s 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 test’s 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

ResetTest [RT] - Resets BERT or PVC result counters without disrupting the test
operation and refreshes all dynamic information contained on the screen.
InjectErr [IE secs] - Injects a single bit error into the BERT stream. When issued
without the “secs,” a single bit error will be injected at execution of this command.
When issued with a “secs” value between 1 - 255, a single bit error will be injected
once a second for the number of “secs” entered (user can issue other commands while
this takes place in background).
RebootExt [RE secs] - Used with optional external Power Control Unit (PCU) to interrupt AC Power to the DTE device (force reboot of device). When issued with a
“secs” parameter, power will remain off for the specified length of time (1 - 300 seconds). When issued as “RE” only, PCU output power will be interrupted for five seconds at the execution of this command.
Help [?] - Advances to “Help” for PVC Performance Configuration screen.

Drpd - The number of Dropped Loss measur ement Packets has exceeded the
threshold for this PVC. (TxLoss mode only.)
Rst - Resync was executed at some time during the interval.
Origin & De stin - The Origin counts and status from the device where the traffic
is entering the network. Destination values are derived from where the traffic
leaves the network.
NNI-1 - Values are from the first NNI encountered after the Origin.
NNI-2 - Values are from the second NNI encountered after the Origin.
% Dlvd - Percentage of sent packets delivered to the far end (NonDEPkts plus
DEPkts).

FullDlay and NetwDlay Modes - Display the round-trip network delay for each PVC
based on Delay measurement packets received back from a distant NetPath. Applies
only to PVCs configured for Delay packet measurement.
Full Delay - Delay compiled from ALL
Network Delay - Delay compiled using only Delay packets which did not
encounter congestion as they passed through the elements of the network
(based on there being sufficient flags between packets).
1stN, MidN, & LstN - Average and Maximum delay for each Network (up to
three) through which the Delay packets passed.
Total: Avg & M ax - Average and Maximum delay for the T otal r ound-trip of the
Network through which the Delay packets passed.
LastPkt - Delay based on the last Delay measurement packet received.
History - Field unused in this mode
NOTE: Sending of Delay and Loss measurement packets is su spended for ALL

DLCI [D=#,All,or Sum] - selects the PVC(s) for which the historical statis tics will
be produced. Choices are:
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.”
