Local Management: Overview, Setup, and Navigation
Screen Refresh Time (Modifiable)
This field contains the rate at which the module’s screens are updated. This
setting determines how frequently (in seconds) information is updated on the
screen. To enter a new refresh rate, highlight the field and enter a number. The
default
refresh rate is 3 seconds. The range is 3 - 99 seconds.
Screen Lockout Time (Modifiable)
This field contains the maximum number of minutes that the Local Management
application displays a module’s screen while pending input or action from a user.
For example, if a user enters a 5 in this field, that user has up to five minutes to
respond, in some fashion, to each of the specified module’s Local Management
screens. In our example, after five minutes of “idleness” (no input or action), the
Local Management application terminates the session on the selected module and
the Slot Selection Screen reappears. To enter a new lockout time, highlight the
field and enter a number. The default lockout time is 15 minutes. The range is
1 - 30 minutes.
Operational Mode (Selectable)
This field sets the module to one of the following:
•
802.1 Switching
•
SecureFast
IP Address (Modifiable)
This field contains the Internet Protocol address currently assigned to the selected
module. Set this field according to network requirements. Highlight the Host IP
address field and enter the desired IP address using dotted decimal notation (4
decimal values between 1 and 255 separated by periods) as follows:
255.255.255.255
(255 is the maximum number that a user can enter in any of the four segments.
The default is 0.0.0.0 .) This address can be used by any of the system interfaces
on the module.
The module’s default date and time settings are indeterminate. The internal
calendar and clock begin running as soon as the user installs the module.
