4-8 Using SPEEDView
The Main Tab Icons
Represents each SPEEDLAN 9000 node. The numerical digit (e.g., “51”) represents the
last octet(s) of the node’s IP address. (This is also referred to as the IP address or IP
label. For more information, see Options Tab, page 4-19.) To view more than one octet
or change the font size of the octet(s), click the Options tab. If you want to display the
hostname to the left of the IP address, click Show Hostname on the Options tab.
The signal, noise and bit rate for each node pair are indicated inside square boxes, as
shown to the left of this paragraph. The higher the signal, the better. The lower the noise,
the better. These values are dynamic and change constantly to reflect the current state of
the network.
To include the signal and noise level, click Signal (on the Main tab). To
include the bit rate, click Rate (on the Main tab). To include the noise level, click Show
Noise on the Options tab. To view signal and noise in dBm, click Show dBm on the
Options tab. For more information, see Options Tab, page 4-19.
A test message (i.e., Hello, Goodybe, Testing, Marco!, Polo!) can be sent to any node in
the network. The message is automatically echoed by the receiving node and displayed
on your screen to verify end-to-end connectivity between the nodes. In addition, if
another user is currently logged into the destination node via SPEEDView, he will see
your message flash on his the upper left-hand corner of his network diagram.
The zoom in/zoom out icon is displayed to the right of the test message. Click the up
arrow to zoom in, and click the down arrow to zoom out. If you click on the network
diagram, you can also move it around the desktop.
Black text on yellow indicates that one or more nodes are hidden, and this message box
will be displayed in the lower left-hand corner of the Main tab. For directions on how to
hide a node, see, “Hide” under the The Node, Link, Stats and View Menus (on the Main
tab), page 4-10.
