Monitor==>Interfaces

View statistical information on ports with a network connection. Typically, the interface is Ether1, Ether0, Point-to-Point Protocol (PPP), or Frame Relay.

Select a modem and use the Reset Counters button to restart incrementing values in PMVision only, not on the PortMaster. Use Restore Counters to restore these counters to their real-time values.

To view Interfaces simultaneously with other options in the PMVision tree, click New Window.
