Using the EMM-E6 Hub View

Contact Status is a color code that shows the status of the connection between SPMA and the device:

Green means a valid connection.

Blue means that SPMA is trying to reach the device but doesn’t yet know if the connection will be successful.

Red means that SPMA is unable to contact or has lost contact with the device.

Uptime

The time that the device has been running without interruption. The counter resets to 0 days 00:00:00 (days HH:MM:SS) when one of the following occurs:

Power to the device is cycled.

The device is reset manually.

Date and Time

The date and time are taken from the device’s internal clock.

Device Name

A text field that you can use to help identify the device; you can edit the device name via the Device Status window, described on page 2-13.

Device Location

A text field that you can use to help identify the device; you can edit the device location via the Device Status window, described on page 2-13.

IP Address

The device’s Internet Protocol address; this field will display the IP address you have used to create the EMM-E6 icon (if you are running the Hub View from a management platform) or the IP address you used to launch the Hub View program (if you are running in stand-alone mode). You cannot change the EMM-E6’s IP address from SPMA; however, you can view the MAC addresses of all installed interfaces (up to six), along with any associated IP addresses that have been assigned, by using the IP Address Table function described on page 2-19.

MAC Address

The device’s factory-set hardware address; this field will display the MAC address associated with the IP address used to define the icon (if you are running the Hub View from a management platform) or the IP address you used to launch the Hub View program (if you are running in stand-alone mode). The MAC addresses cannot be changed.

Clicking the Device button displays the Device menu, Figure 2-2.
