Ethernet Traffic
Counts
The normal frame counters indicate traffic between the VCN AP and user
PC. Some errored frame counters indicate fatal errors, requiring
replacement of the VCN AP, Ethernet cable or the user’s PC Network
Interface Card (NIC).

The following table depicts normal count indications of the Ethernet
traffic counters and probable causes for abnormal indications.
traffic counters and probable causes for abnormal indications.
HDLC Traffic Counts
Normal frame counts indicate traffic between the VCN AP and the VCN
AC. Some errored frame counters indicate fatal errors, requiring
replacement of the VCN AP (failure between the analog front-end section
and the CPU section), or handling of environmental noise over the line.
