Figure 6-2. The Source Address List Window

The Source Address List window displays addresses of all devices that have
transmitted packets through the EMM-E6 within a time period less than the SAT’s
defined aging time (addresses that have not transmitted a packet during one
complete cycle of the aging timer will be purged). The Aging Time is user-
configurable; see

Setting the Aging Time

,

page 6-4

. The list window can display

about ten addresses at once; use the scroll bar to the right of the list window to
view additional addresses, if necessary.

Since the SAT is constantly changing as old entries are aged out and new ones
learned from the network, you should occasionally update the displayed list by
clicking mouse button 1 on

. Once displayed, the list is static and will

not reflect recent changes. Also static is the displayed number of Active Users;
this field will also update when you click on

.
