Using the SEHI100TX Hub View

Note that the Device menu does not provide access to every application which is available to the SEHI100TX; some information is only available from the Module or Port menus, and several applications can only be accessed either from the icon menu (if you are running under a network management platform) or from the command line (if you are running in stand-alone mode). See Chapter 1, Introduction to SPMA for the SEHI100TX-22, for a complete list of applications available to the SEHI100TX and how to access each one.

If you need to call CabletronÕs Global Support about a problem with the Hub View application, youÕll need the information provided in the Info window (Figure 2-3):
