Figure 4-3. FDDI Port Chart Window

The FDDI Port Chart window displays the following information about the 
selected port or ports, in both numeric and graphical format:

The LEM (Link Error Monitor) Count displays the number of times each port’s 
Link Error Monitor has detected a link error. A link error occurs when a port’s line 
state goes from Idle to Unknown and remains there for at least 80 ns, or when the 
line state goes from Active to Unknown and remains there for at least 320 ns. A 
growing LEM Count usually indicates a physical problem with the connectors or 
the cable between a port and the node at the other end of its cable segment. If you 
can wiggle the cable and watch the LEM Count increase, you know you have a 
faulty cable or connector. Dirt or film on the connector cable ends can also add to 
the LEM Count.

The number of times the port’s link has exceeded the configured LER Cutoff level 
and been removed as faulty (disabled by station management). SMT 
automatically re-enables a port when the error rate falls below the cutoff value. 
See Alarm Configuration, 

, for more information on setting the LER 

Cutoff threshold.
