Using the EMM-E6 Hub View2-32Managing the HubIf you have configured the ports on the TPXMIM so that they are connected todifferent channels, the board’s Network Connection box will display a letterrepresenting each channel to which a TPXMIM port is connected. If the entireboard is in stand-alone mode, three dashes (---) will display; if some ports are stillconnected to Channel A, two dashes and an A (-A-) will display.In addition, keep in mind that most Network and Module menu selections canonly provide information about a single network channel. When your TPXMIM isin multi-channel mode, making a selection from one of those menus will firstbring up a channel selection window (Figure 2-15, below); click to select theappropriate channel, and the desired information will be displayed as usual.Figure 2-15.
