Changing Station Port Status
For Token Ring boards equipped with station ports, use the following
option to change Station Port Status for any port on the board:
1. Using the arrow keys, highlight the STATION PORT X (X = port
number) option.
2. Press the + key (press SHIFT and + keys) to increment the port number
or the - key to decrement the port number.
3. When you have selected the port number, use the arrow keys to
highlight either the ENABLE or DISABLE option.
4. Press RETURN. The Port Status field will display the new status of the
port. If you enabled the port, the Port Status will be either ENB or INS.
If disabled, the status will be BYP or LNK. Refer to the Port Status
field description in the previous section for an explanation of these
status conditions.
5. Station port status settings will be saved when you exit the screen (it
is not necessary to use the SAVE command).
Changing Board Mode
The Board Mode field displays the current board mode setting. The
default board mode setting is AUTO, indicating that the board is using the
factory defaults. When you alter any board setting (i.e., port status, board
speed), the mode changes to MGMT, indicating that the default settings
are no longer being used.
To set the board back to AUTO mode:
1. Use the arrow keys to highlight the SET BOARD TO AUTOMODE
option.
2. Press RETURN. The Board Mode field will display the AUTO status.
3. The board settings return to the factory defaults when you exit the
screen (it is not necessary to use the SAVE command).
