Use</FONT> </P> <P><FONT SIZE=2>netstat -k > netstat.out</FONT> </P> <P><FONT SIZE=2>to monitor the hme interfaces on your 51E box. Use your favorite text editor and search for hme0: and you will go directly to the section depicting basic network performance. Look for any errors and collisions as a percent of total output packets. The nocanput stat is significant because that would indicate that the TCP/IP streams driver is too busy to handle anymore load.</FONT></P> <P><FONT SIZE=2>You will need to load the QF9902053. It is Foxboro's attempt to update the hme driver that Sun admits was basically broken in Solaris 2.5.1. I think that it has helped some, but it still doesn't provide the full functionality of Sun Patch 104212-13. You may have network issues if you are connected to an autonegioatiate switched environ </FONT></P> <BR> <BR> <P><FONT SIZE=2>-----Original Message-----</FONT> <BR><FONT SIZE=2>From: Little Chris [<A HREF="mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]";>mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]</A>]</FONT> <BR><FONT SIZE=2>Sent: Tuesday, October 17, 2000 2:02 PM</FONT> <BR><FONT SIZE=2>To: Cassandra (E-mail)</FONT> <BR><FONT SIZE=2>Subject: </FONT> </P> <BR> <P><FONT SIZE=2>Hi all</FONT> </P> <P><FONT SIZE=2>I currently have an installation that is hosted by a 51 E. On this unit I</FONT> <BR><FONT SIZE=2>have Aim* historian which is sampling around 600 points, mainly analogue,</FONT> <BR><FONT SIZE=2>approximately every 5 seconds. I also have an off platform PC that also has</FONT> <BR><FONT SIZE=2>Aim* with an identical historian, which is pulling the data through the</FONT> <BR><FONT SIZE=2>second Ethernet port. Also on this same Ebox we have the interface for our</FONT> <BR><FONT SIZE=2>OSI PI server. This is collecting about 2500 points, half of which are</FONT> <BR><FONT SIZE=2>digital and the other half are analogue. The sample rates for these are five</FONT> <BR><FONT SIZE=2>seconds for the analogues and two seconds for the digital.</FONT> <BR><FONT SIZE=2>We are now looking to install another interface for a QCK analyzer (FLS) and</FONT> <BR><FONT SIZE=2>I am concerned that we will overload the API or the second Ethernet port.</FONT> <BR><FONT SIZE=2>Is there any way to calculate the loading on this second Ethernet port or</FONT> <BR><FONT SIZE=2>what the max is. Has anyone else used this QCX analyzer and how did you</FONT> <BR><FONT SIZE=2>interface it to the Foxboro, is there a better way than over the second</FONT> <BR><FONT SIZE=2>Ethernet card. Our second port is currently 10 Mbit, I think that is the max</FONT> <BR><FONT SIZE=2>available</FONT> </P> <P><FONT SIZE=2>Chris Little </FONT> <BR><FONT SIZE=2>Blue Circle Cement </FONT> <BR><FONT SIZE=2>Roberta Plant </FONT> </P> <BR> <P><FONT SIZE=2>-----------------------------------------------------------------------</FONT> <BR><FONT SIZE=2>This list is neither sponsored nor endorsed by the Foxboro Company.
