Using the EMM-E6 Hub View
Navigating through the Hub View; monitoring hub performance; managing the hub
The heart of the SPECTRUM Portable Management Application (SPMA) for the 
EMM-E6 is the Hub View, a graphical interface that gives you access to many of 
the functions that provide control over the EMM-E6-managed hub.
Using the Hub View 
There are two ways to open the Hub View: if you are working within a network 
management system, you can select the Hub View option from the icon menu; 
specific directions for creating a EMM-E6 icon and accessing the icon menu can be 
found in the appropriate Installing and Using SPECTRUM for... guide. If you are 
running the EMM-E6 module in a stand-alone mode, type the following at the 
command line:
spmarun emme <IP address> <community name>
The community name you use to start the module must have at least Read access; 
for full management functionality, you should use a community name that 
provides Read/Write or Superuser access. For more information on community 
names, consult the appropriate Installing and Using SPECTRUM for... guide, 
and/or the Community Names chapter in the SPMA Tools Guide.
NOTES
The spmarun script invoked first in the above command temporarily sets the environment 
variables SPMA needs to operate; be sure to use this command any time you launch an 
application from the command line. This script is automatically invoked when you launch 
an application from the icon menu or from within the Hub View.
If there is a hostname mapped to your EMM-E6’s IP address, you can use <hostname> 
in place of <IP address> to launch the Hub View. Please note, however, that the hostname 
is not the same as the device name which can be assigned via Local Management and/or 
SPMA; you cannot use the device name in place of the IP address.
