Figure 2-8. EMM-E6 Network Status window

Note that the information in the Network Status window applies to all MIMs
connected to the selected channel, regardless of which MIM display was used to
access the window. The name of the selected channel (A, B, or C) is displayed in
the window title. Note that no Network Status window is available for channels
D, E, and F, as those channels do not serve as repeaters. Note also that no
Network Status window is available for RIC MIMs operating in stand-alone, or
isolated mode — that is, those which are not connected to any EMM-E6 channel.

The Network Status window contains the following fields:

Name

This is a text field you can use to help identify this network. For example, if the
selected channel connects users in one department, or users on one floor or one
area of a building, you can use this field to name the network or channel,
accordingly: Accounting, or 3rd Floor Bldg. C. The information entered here is not
displayed anywhere else in the Hub View.

To change the network name:

1.

Highlight the existing text (if necessary) and type the new name.

2.

Press Enter or Return on the keyboard to save your change.

Active Users

Displays the number of active source addresses that are communicating on this
network, or channel.
