Using the Mouse in a Hub View Module
Each media interface module, or MIM, installed in the EMM-E6-controlled hub
will be displayed in the hub view; use the mouse as indicated in the illustration
below to access Network, Module, and Port menus and functions.
EMM-E6 Menu
Click mouse button 3 on the
Module Type box to access the
EMM-E6 menu; drag right to select
Logical, which displays the
EMM-E6 bridge ports with their
logical names (A, B, C, D, E, and
F); or Interface Number, which
displays the port names
numerically (1, 2, 3, 4, 5, and 6).
Bridge Port State
Displays the current bridging state
for channels A, B, C, and D:
Learning (yellow; the port is
monitoring network traffic, learning
network addresses); Listening
(yellow; the port is monitoring
BPDU traffic on the network while
preparing to move to the
Forwarding state); Forwarding
(green); Blocking (red); or DIS
(blue; port status is OFF).
BRIM Ports
BRIM ports E and F will
display status colors (green
for ON, blue for OFF) for any
installed BRIM modules,
along with the BRIM type
(FDDI, WAN, etc.).
Bridge Port Status
Displays the current
administrative status of
bridge ports A, B, C, and D:
ON (green) or OFF (blue).
This display will always be
the same regardless of the
Port Display Form selected
for MIM ports. Click mouse
button 1 to toggle the ports
ON or OFF.
AUI Redundancy
If you have configured and
enabled a redundant circuit
for the front panel Channel D
ports, their current
redundancy status — Active
or Inactive — will be
displayed. If no redundant
circuit has been enabled for
these ports, the boxes will
remain uncolored and DIS
(disabled) will be displayed.
Note that these boxes only
display the ports’
redundancy status, not their
link or admin status.
