• Station List — With this window you can see the configuration of the ring on
which the SMT entity resides, including number of nodes, node addresses
(both Canonical and MAC), node class, and current ring topology.
• Performance — This window lets you view the number of frames transmitted
and received on the ring as detected by the selected SMT entity, along with
error and lost frames, and the number of ring initializations.
To use the FDDI menu:
