network, select the nodes you want to hide and choose Hide.
• Show: Choose Show to display any nodes that were previously hidden using
the “Hide” feature.
• Select All: If you want to select all of the nodes on the 9000 network (including

your equipment is communicating properly at the RF level. This process will
help you during your performance evaluation. See Performing a Bandwidth
Test, page 8-14 for further instructions.

Test, page 8-15 for further instructions.

or link. (Press the Ctrl key on your keyboard to select more than one node or
link at a time.) Next, choose Block. When you “block” a connection, the node
pair will not be able to communicate.

links you want to unblock. Next, choose Unblock to clear the “blocked” path.
