The Station Location text box allows you to assign the management station’s
physical drop identifier. The station’s physical drop is an administratively
assigned numeric string that you can use to identify a station’s physical location.
If assigned, the drop will appear as a subvector in certain Token Ring MAC
frames (such as a new active monitor frame, report error frames, or the report
station address frame used in the neighbor notification process); it will also be
reported in the RMON Token Ring Station Configuration window (see theUser’s
Guide
for details). A physical drop is a four-byte value expressed dotted decimal
notation, much like an IP address; each byte of the value can be any number from
0 to 255.
To alter the device location (physical drop identifier):
1. In the Network list in the upper right corner of the window, double-click on the
Network 1 selection.
2. Click on the I-bar cursor in the Station Location text box; the Station Location
Configuration window,
