Introduction
If you have an MSH Management Module fitted in your MSH chassis,
you can use the display panel on the MSH chassis to determine the
configuration of a token ring, or monitor the state of the token rings.
For instance, you can find out:
■
The type of modules assigned to the selected ring, their slot number in
the chassis and the status of their ports ( “ Ring Status ” on page 10-5 ).
■
The status of the selected ring, whether a break has been detected
( “ Ring Configuration ” on page 10-6 ).
■
Soft error counts both on the ring and at the ring-stations ( “ Ring
Statistics ” on page 10-8 and “ Ring Station Information ” on page 10-9 ).
Using the display panel you can only view data, you cannot configure
or control the token rings.
The figure opposite shows the menu tree structure available from the
display panel for token ring management. For more information on
how to access the menus refer to the following sections.
Assumption
This chapter covers using the display panel menu structure to access
token ring information. It assumes you have moved through the menu
as far as Chassis Service (see “Chassis Services” on page 4-7 ).
