The Hardware Monitor Status indications are summarized in the following table:

  

The Network Traffic Control mechanism controls the level of UDP packets generated by the system. It 
regulates a set of queuing systems and mechanisms by which UDP packets are received and transmitted 
to the network router. 

During a conference the MPMx cards occasionally blast-out UDP packets which can cause overloads on 
the network. Collaboration Server bandwidth usage can increase to above the designated conference 
participant line rate settings, causing network bandwidth issues such as latency and packet loss. 

Three Network Traffic Control Flags are used to control the Network Traffic mechanism:

When the flag is set to NO (default), Network Traffic Control is disabled on the Collaboration Server. 

Set the flag to YES to enable Network Traffic Control.

This flag regulates the Traffic Control buffer or maxburst size as a percentage of the participant line 

rate. In general, higher traffic rates require a larger buffer. For example, if the flag is set to 10 and the 

participants line rate is 2MB, then the burst size is 200Kbps.
Default = 10
Flag range: 1-30. 

This flag limits the latency (in milliseconds) or the number of bytes that can be present in a queue.
Default = 500
Flag range: 1-1000 (in milliseconds). 

Active

The LAN port cable is connected.

Inactive

The LAN port cable is not connected.

Standby

The LAN Redundancy option is enabled and this LAN port is the redundant and in 
standby mode. In case of failure, this port becomes active.

Only supported in the MPMx Card Configuration mode.
