Using the TRMMIM Hub View

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.

Token

The number of times the selected station, while acting as the active monitor, has detected an error that required the transmission of a token.

Frequency

The number of times the selected station has detected that the incoming signal’s frequency differed from the expected frequency by more than allowed.

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.

Find MAC Address

The Find MAC Address menu command will let you search for any station on the TRMMIM-controlled ring by MAC address. When a station is found, its location will be described by module and port number.

To start the Find MAC Address command:

1.Click on to display the Device menu.
