• NearSide (FTT-10) : Selects the NearSide interface for editing.
• FarSide (IP) : Selects the FarSide interface for editing.
• Twin Mode App : Selects the TwinMode Application interface for editing
Domain Index : A 709.1 node may be a member of two domains. In each domain a node may have
a distinct subnet and node number. Choose the domain index to edit then Click Submit Changes .
Subnet : When a node is unconfigured the subnet may be zero. Valid configured subnet numbers
are from 1 to 255. Enter the subnet number then click Submit Changes .
Node : When a node is unconfigured the node number may be zero. Valid configured node
numbers are from 1 to 127. Enter the node number then click Submit Change s.
Domain Number : e number of valid domains is a function of the Domain Length . Zero is a
valid domain number but is reserved for network management. Enter the Domain Number then
click Submit Change s.
Domain Length : e Domain Length may be 0, 1, 3, or 6 bytes long. Choose the Domain Length
from the popup menu then Click Submit Change s.
Node State : e Node State determines whether the node operates in Configured or Unconfigured
mode. In manual mode the default state for a new device is Unconfigured . Setting the state to
Unconfigured allows you to temporarily disable the device while editing the forwarding tables.
Choose the Node State from the popup menu then click Submit Change s.
NodeID : e NodeID is a unique 48 bit number assigned to each 709.1 node. is is a read only

6.2. Forwarding Tables
e 709 Setup Page also allows the direct setting of the 709.1 subnet and group forwarding tables.
is is most useful in manual mode or in situations where a special configuration is needed. e
forwarding table portions of the page are shown below.
For each table the bits are displayed from le to right in increasing order of bit position. Bit
position one refers to subnet number one and so forth. Clicking on a bit will toggle the bit value
and store the new value in memory. A value of one in a bit position means forward packets
addressed to the corresponding subnet or group. A value of zero in a bit position means do not
forward packets addressed to the corresponding subnet or group.
Clear Subnet Table : is button clears all the subnet bits by assigning each a value of zero and
stores the new values in memory.
Set Subnet Table : is button sets all the subnet bits by assigning each a value of one and stores
the new values in memory.
Clear Group Table : is button clears all the group bits by assigning each a value of zero and
stores the new values in memory.
Set Group Table : is button sets all the group bits by assigning each a value of one and stores the
new values in memory.
