Description
[MODULE]
Module section header
Module Name:
0 to 80
characters
This parameter assigns a name to the module
that can be viewed using the configuration/debug
port. Use this parameter to identify the module
and the configuration file.
Backplane Fail Count:
0 to 65535
This parameter specifies the number of
successive transfer errors that must occur before
the communication ports are shut down. If the
parameter is set to zero, the communication
ports will continue to operate under all
conditions. If the value is set larger than 0 (1 to
65535), communications will cease if the
specified number of failures occur.
