The User Interface
This chapter explains how to access and operate the dialog boxes that serve as the user interface for
the RingView component of SPECTRUM.
Accessing RingView Tools
Once an FDDI LAN has been modeled in SPECTRUM either manually or
through a regular AutoDiscovery session, subsequent discovery sessions can
be invoked for that LAN through the RingView Tools dialog box, which is
accessed from the FDDI LAN’s Information view (Figure 3-1). You can access
this view in either of two ways:
• click on the FDDI LAN icon, then select the Model Information option
from the Icon Subviews menu.
or
• if the FDDI LAN Topology view is already open, select the Current View
Information option from the File menu.
Clicking on the RingView Tools button in the bottom right corner of the FDDI
LAN Information view brings up the RingView Tools dialog box shown in
Figure 3-2.
