EMME/EMM-E6 Module Icon
Interface Labels
These labels represent up to six Ethernet Bridging Channels, managed by the
EMME/EMM-E6, that are located on the front panel of the device as well as
within the hub. The Interface labels provide access to the Icon Subviews menu
for the interface and display two information labels: an Interface Channel
label and an Interface Status label.
The menu selection for an Interface Label is Configuration. It opens the
Configuration dialog box, which allows you to enable or disable bridging for
the selected port. See Chapter 1, Introduction, for information on Accessing
Device-Specific Subviews.
Interface Channel
This label identifies one of six channels connected to the EMME/EMM-E6
(refer to Figure 2-2 and Figure 2-3). The A, B, C labels refer to three Ethernet
channels in the MMAC hub, the D1 and D2 labels refer to the redundant
EPIM connection and are described separately in this section. The “E” label
refers to the connection to one of the BRIMs located on the front panel of the
device. In addition, the Interface Channel label for channel “E” provides
information on what kind of BRIM (Ethernet, FDDI, ATM) is attached to this
device.
Interface Status
This label indicates the port activity status. Table 2-3 and Table 2-4 list the
possible states relative to the application selected. Refer to the Application
Label, described previously in this chapter, for information on selecting the
application to be displayed.
