Using the FRX4000, FRX6000, and SmartSwitch 1800 Hub View
sequence (like the CRC, or cyclic redundancy check) is a 
value computed at both the sending and receiving ends 
of the connection; if the computed values donÕt match, 
the frame is assumed to have been corrupted in transit. A 
value consistently greater than zero indicates line 
problems.
Logical Rejects
The sum of frame rejects Ñ frames which are dropped due 
to congestion or some other transmission problem Ñ and 
reject frames Ñ protocol frames that notify the sender that 
one or more packets is missing from a sequence. The total 
is expressed as a rate (rejects/second); a value 
consistently greater than zero indicates line problems. 
Rx Utilization %
The ratio of non-ßag characters (the space between 
frames) to the total number of characters received on the 
selected serial port; that is, the percentage of available 
bandwidth being utilized.
Tx Utilization %
The ratio of non-ßag characters (the space between 
frames) to the total number of characters transmitted on 
the selected serial port; that is, the percentage of available 
bandwidth being utilized.
