Token Ring Station Table View Details
In addition to the general conÞguration information common to most generic
views, enclosed within the status border in the top part of the view, the Token
Ring Station Table view displays a Station Table containing information for
all stations directly connected to the TRBMIM device, control buttons to
manipulate the information in the table, and selection buttons to access other
views pertaining to related information.
A highlighted band located directly below the view name, and also common to
all of the related table views, provides the following information:
Ring Name Ð The ASCII name assigned to this ring. This name defaults to
Network n, where n is a unique integer value.
Ring Number Ð The number of the attached ring. If SPECTRUM cannot
determine the number of the ring, a zero is returned.
Ring Speed Ð The speed of the ring, which can have a value of 4 or 16
megabits.
Ring Status Ð The operational state of the ring.
In addition, the following Þeld appears below the just-discussed highlighted
band:
Active Monitor Ð This readout gives the MAC address of the active monitor
for the ring. (The station address of the monitor can be identiÞed in any of the
table views listings, regardless of whether the table is set for the MAC or
Canonical address formats, by the appearance of an asterisk (*) directly
following the address entry).
The blocked-off Station Table area in the lower half of the Token Ring
Station Table view provides the following information as column entries, with
each row associated with a speciÞc station. In each case, the column heading
for this information is designated by the readout of a selection button that you
can press to identify this column as the column of interest before using the
sort-function or Þlter-function buttons, as described below.
The address of the station to which the information in the line entry pertains.
The ASCII name assigned to the station to which the information in the line
entry pertains.
The total number of frames that have been received/generated by the station
to which the information in the line entry pertains.
