Token Ring Station Table Views
The TRBMIM device also provides an inter-related set of table views
pertaining to the stations on the ring. Most of these are modiÞcations of an
associated table view, but a few can be accessed independently. In general,
these table views have common features, including the common provision to
related dialog boxes, which can be accessed from any one of these views.
Consequently, the following discussion describes the Þrst such table view in
detail, with the descriptions for the other table views being limited to those
features which are unique to that particular table view.
