Using This Guide

Each chapter in this guide describes one major functionality or a collection of several smaller functionalities of the MicroMMAC-T device module. This guide contains information about software functions that are accessed directly from the device icon; for information about management functions that are accessed via the NetSight Element Manager platform, consult the NetSight Element Manager User’s Guide and NetSight Element Manager Tools Guide.

Chapter 1, Introduction, provides a list of related documentation, describes certain software conventions, and shows you how to contact the Enterasys Networks Global Call Center.

Chapter 2, The MicroMMAC-T Chassis View, describes the visual display of the MicroMMAC-T’s front panel and explains how to use the mouse within the Chassis View; the operation of several chassis-level management functions — such as changing the port status display, enabling and disabling ports, configuring the management station, and setting device date and time — is also described here.

Chapter 3, Token Ring Statistics, describes the Statistics, Timer Statistics, Summary Statistics, and Performance Graph selections available at the Network, Management Station, and Port levels. Each of these selections provides a slightly different view of the network information being collected by the MicroMMAC-T.

Chapter 4, Token Ring Alarms, provides instructions on configuring and setting ring-level alarms for network events, ring-level station alarms that apply to all stations on a ring, or station-level alarms for individual stations on a ring.

Chapter 5, The Station List and Station Map, describes how to use these windows to view your ring topology, either in list or graphical (map) format, and how to access statistics and set alarm limits for your ring stations.
