Concentrator DevTop View
The Concentrator DevTop View allows you to logically connect other devices to
ports on modules installed in the MMAC-FNB chassis, and gather statistics
on those port connections. The Off-Page Reference, Simplified Device View,
and Port Connections Panels have the same functionality, and provide the
same information, as those described in the FDM DevTop View section earlier
in this chapter. The Device Icon Panel displays the concentrator icon instead
of the FDM icon, and provides access to subviews for the concentrator.
Figure 2-7 provides an example of a Concentrator DevTop View.
FDDI Port Icons
Port icons representing the FDM or FDC module’s FDDI ports appear in the
Port Connections Panel. Figure 2-6 provides a detailed illustration of the
FDDI port icons. You can access the Icon Subviews menu by single-clicking
the middle mouse button where indicated, or highlighting the icon and
selecting Icon Subviews from the View menu.
