3.Click to enable or disable the port, or click to terminate the command and exit the window.

Charts, Graphs, and Meters

You can view both an FDDI Port Chart and FDDI Port Meters (and, if you are running SPMA in conjunction with HP Network Node Manager or IBM NetView, an FDDI Port Graph) for your module by clicking on the appropriate buttons, located at the bottom of the Port Configuration window.

NOTES

Graphing capabilities are provided by an application that is included in HP Network Node Manager and IBM NetView; therefore, graphs are only available when SPMA is run in conjunction with one of these network management platforms. If you are running SPMA in a stand-alone mode or in conjunction with SunNet Manager, no graphing capabilities are available and no graph-related options will be displayed on buttons or menus. Note that the screens displayed in this guide will include the graph-related options where they are available; please disregard these references if they do not apply.

Only general information about charts, graphs, and meters is provided in the following sections; for more detailed information, see the SPMA Tools Guide.
