Enabling HMX Advanced Manager server control
If you wish to have more than one transmitter within your HMX extender system, the HMX
Advanced Manager server must be added to the system to manage your matrix configuration. You
must also ensure that each extender is set to allow the HMX Advanced Manager server to take
control of it.
To enable HMX Advanced Manager server control:
1. Select the link to the HMX Advanced Manager on the left side of the page.
2. On the displayed page, enable HMX Advanced Manager server control.
Recording bandwidth statistics
The HMX extender system provides bandwidth statistics that can be recorded, transferred and
used for system optimization and troubleshooting, if needed. With the System Configuration utility,
you can choose the type of bandwidth statistics you wish to gather from an extender System port
and then transfer it to a graph. In configurations where both the System and Teaming ports are
used, only the System port is measured and shown on the graph, but the illustrated bandwidth is
the same for both ports. For example, if the statistics graph shows 500 MB of bandwidth on the
System port, then it is assumed that there is also 500 MB of bandwidth on the Teaming port. In this
scenario, the total bandwidth across ports is 1 GB.
To generate a statistics graph:
1. Select Statistics on the left side of the page, then select the Enable collection of bandwidth
statistics checkbox.
2. A pop-up box appears and allows you to select what data bandwidth aspects you wish to show
on the graph.
