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

Setting a Port’s Trunk Type
Station ports and trunk ports are defined by how many source addresses are
communicating through that port at any given moment: if zero, one, or two
addresses are communicating, the port is considered to be a station port; if three
or more are communicating, the port is considered to be a trunk port.
NOTE
To place only selected ports in stand-alone mode, you must configure all other ports so
that they are connected to Channel A; those ports will remain connected to Channel A
when stand-alone mode is implemented, and only those ports connected to channels B or
C will be put in stand-alone.
