MMAC Device Panel

The top portion of a MiniMMAC hub Device View displays an MMAC Device Panel. The IRBM, IRM, IRM2, and IRM3 Device Views also display the Device Panel when accessed by selecting the Physical Device View from the Icon Subviews Menu. The MMAC Device Panel appears in the Device View in both the logical and physical MIM representations. The MMAC Device Panel displays the following information about the hub:

Name

The user-defined or default model name for the hub.

Location

The location of the device as entered in the Creation dialog box when the model was created. If no location has been specified, this field displays the model name of the SPECTRUM location view containing the device.

Net Address

The IP address of the hub.

Device Type

The SPECTRUM model type name of the hub.

System UpTime

The time the hub has been active without failure. The time is displayed in the following format: days+hours:minutes:seconds

The colored rectangle that appears around these fields displays the device contact status. For a list of device contact status colors, refer to Table 3-2.

The MMAC Device Panel also provides a Logical Gauges button and a Gauge Mode button. These buttons allow you to change the type of statistical information presented in the Logical MIM horizontal bar gauges. The Logical MIM bar gauges appear under the name of the module (e.g., IRM2) and under each module port. The following sections describe how these buttons work.

Logical Gauges

The Logical Gauges button lets you change the statistics represented in the horizontal gauges for the entire MMAC. The horizontal gauges can display a given statistic as either a percentage or a rate, depending on the setting of the Gauge Mode button. When you single-click on the Logical Gauges button, a menu appears. Table 2-1provides a list of the Logical Gauge menu options.

Gauge Mode

The Gauge Mode button allows you to change the gauge representation of the selected statistic. Table 2-2provides a list of the Gauge Mode menu options.
