Note that the information in the Network Status window applies to all MIMs connected to the selected channel, regardless of which MIM display was used to access the window. The name of the selected channel (A, B, or C) is displayed in the window title. Note that no Network Status window is available for channels D, E, and F, as those channels do not serve as repeaters. Note also that no Network Status window is available for RIC MIMs operating in stand-alone, or isolated mode — that is, those which are not connected to any EMM-E6 channel.

The Network Status window contains the following fields:

C. The information entered here is not displayed anywhere else in the Hub View.
