I’ve noticed a couple of odd things with the IAP’s serial stats. Maybe I just don’t understand how things are supposed to work?
Does the IAP count parity, framing, or overrun errors? I’ve played around with forcing parity errors (IAP set to 9600-8E1, PC set to 9600-8O1) and overrun (or framing?) errors (PC set to 300-8O1). I’m looking at the internal webserver pages (such as /reports/ports/serial_stats.htm?1).
With the correct baud rate and correct parity, only the “Total Data In” count increments. With the correct baud rate and incorrect parity, only the “Total Data In” count increments. I expected to see the “Parity Errors” counter increment, but it does not.
With incorrect baud rate and incorrect parity, I was expecting to see framing or overrun errors, but didn’t. (Usually I don’t see any counters increment with both baud and parity set wrong.)
In all cases, the front panel RX light was blinking.
I then went to the command line interface to see if maybe it worked. It seems to only report TX and RX counts:
[pre]
#> info serial
Serial statistics collected over last 1 minute(s).
Index rbytes tbytes
1 15 0
[/pre]
I also noticed that clearing the counters from the command line (“info clear”) does not clear the counters displayed from the webserver. Is there a way to clear the webserver’s displayed serial counters? (Other than a reboot, of course!)
