Using the TRMMIM Hub View

Figure 2-5. The Device, Module, Station Port, and Ring Port Menus

NOTE

Note that the Hub View application only allows you to control boards in the domain of a single management module. If you have another management module installed in the chassis to the left of the monitored TRMMIM, boards that are under the domain of that module (i.e., Media Interface Modules – or MIMs – to its left) will still display in the Hub View of the monitored TRMMIM; however, only boards within the domain of the monitored TRMMIM can be correctly controlled. Although you can display Module menus for MIMs outside of the domain of the monitored TRMMIM, you cannot use these menus to correctly control those MIMs.

Hub performance data available through these menus includes:

•Device, Module, Port, Station, and Ring Port Status windows.

NOTE

Note that information displayed in the Status windows is static; that is, it is only gathered at the instant the Device, Module, Port, Station, or Ring Port Status window is opened. To receive updated information in one of these windows, you must exit the window and re-open it.

•Device and Station statistics, which provide a complete breakdown of ring activity.

•Device pie-charts, graphs, and meters, as graphic representations of the types and levels of traffic passing through the hub. (For more information about pie charts, graphs, and meters, see the Charts, Graphs, and Meters chapter in the SPMA Tools Guide.)
