Managing the Hub

Frame Copy

The number of frames addressed to the selected station that have the A bits
already set to 1, which indicates a possible electrical line disturbance, or a
duplicate address on the ring.

detected an error that required the transmission of a token.

Managing the Hub

In addition to the performance information described in the preceding sections,
the Hub View also provides you with the tools you need to configure your hub
and keep it operating properly. Hub management functions at the device level
include finding a MAC address and setting the polling intervals to contact the
device. At the module level, you can configure the module’s FNB left and right
connections, set board speed and operating mode, and enable all ports on the
module. At the station or ring port levels, you can remove a station from the ring,
convert a station port to a ring-out port; and enable or disable station or ring
ports.

Managing the Hub at the Device Level

From the Device menu, you can select the Find MAC Address and Polling
Intervals menu options.
