Logical Module Representation
The Backplane Module
Segment, Ring, or Path Identifier
Identifies which segment this model represents, (i.e., Ethernet, Token Ring,
and FDDI). The Ethernet Segment Models provide double-click access to the
Segment Performance view. The Token Ring or FDDI Path Models have no
double-click zone. All segment, ring, and path models also change color to
represent their status. Table 2-1 lists each possible status and its
corresponding color:
Token Ring Segment Identifiers also display current Ring Speed if the
backplane ring has an attachment.
Backplane Segment Color Schemes
The Logical Device view includes a color scheme that allows quick
determination of which attachments (clusters, single module, or port
attachments) are connected to a particular backplane segment, ring, or path.
After clicking the desired backplane segment, ring, or path identifier to select
it, the identifier changes color, along with all associated attachments on all
the modules installed in the hub. To deselect the segment, ring, or path and its
corresponding attachments, click the identifier again. It is not possible to
deselect an attachment by clicking it if it has been highlighted through a
backplane segment, ring, or path identifier.
Click a previously highlighted attachment to select it, and the attachment
changes color along with the corresponding backplane segment, ring, or path
identifier. No other attachments connected to the segment, ring, or path will
change color unless the segment, ring, or path identifier itself is selected. To
deselect the attachment and the corresponding segment identifier, click the
attachment again.
If a segment, ring, or path identifier has been highlighted by selecting one or
more attachments and the identifier is clicked, control of the color scheme is
given over to the identifier. All associated attachments that are not already
highlighted change color, and cannot revert to normal until the segment is
clicked again.
