Clicking mouse button 1 on the Quit button closes all Hub View application windows; any open applications which can also be accessed from the command line or from the icon menu will remain open.

EMM-E6 Ports Display

The EMM-E6 module display in the Hub View shows the device’s first four channels in two different modes: their Bridge Port Status (ON or OFF), and their Bridge Port State (Listening, Learning, Forwarding, Blocking, or Disabled). Status displays are color coded green for ON, blue for OFF; state displays are color coded yellow for Listening and Learning, green for Forwarding, red for Blocking, and blue for Disabled. The current redundancy status (Active or Inactive) of the Channel D EPIM ports is also displayed. 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, TR, ATM, or ENET).

NOTE

Although the Hub View displays the presence and general status (ON or OFF) of any installed BRIM modules, you cannot enable or disable these ports from the Hub View. To manage any installed BRIMs, launch the Bridge application from the Device menu, or launch any other application available for your BRIM from the BRIM Launcher application; see Chapter 1 for more information on how to access BRIM-specific management.
