Ring Map
Launching the Ring Map application; changing the map poll interval; setting the calculation mode;
assigning station labels; viewing the Map Error table; the Quick Info Pop-up window; management
station configuration; viewing Ring History; using the Find features; accessing other SPMA
applications
The Ring Map application comprises several major windows that provide
information about the ring your TRMMIM is managing:
• The Ring Map window graphically displays all the stations inserted into a
selected ring network. Labelling options allow you to display the stations
according to several parameters, including vendor, address,
board/port/drop, and station name.
• An Error Table allows you to compare the number of soft errors detected by
stations on your ring. You can select the errors either as a sum total, or select
an individual soft error type.
• The Management Station Configuration window provides information on
the ring management device in its role as a station on the ring. The window
allows you to issue commands, allow or disallow active monitor contention,
and establish the time interval at which error reports are sent to the ring
management station.
• The Beacon History window provides a record of ring events, including
Active Monitor changes, ring purges, and beacon information.
In addition, menus from individual station displays allow you to set a station
drop or station name; you can also invoke a Quick Info Pop-up window that
summarizes an individual station’s configuration and ring performance.
Powerful sort and find capabilities allow you to search for individual stations on
your network according to various parameters; you can also use this application
to invoke other SPMA Token Ring applications.
