Polarity.
The
Polarity
column shows the state of each UTP port’s receive
pair polarity: either
Normal
or
Reversed
.
Normal
indicates correct polarity.
Reversed
indicates incorrect polarity — software has detected that
your wiring has been installed with reversed polarity. It has also
subsequently corrected it. Operator intervention is not required.
AT-S16 Port
Status Screen
Choose the AT-S16, AT-TS95TR,
Port Status
screen. Note that it only has
eight (8) ports and includes an Interface column. The Port, Link, Status and
Polarity columns are identical to the AT-S13 screen. Only the Interface
column is added.
You can change any port’s configuration by entering the port number then
pressing
<Return>
. Pressing
<Return>
without entering a port number
exits this dialog and returns you to the
Main
menu.
Interface.
There are two options for this column: Backplane and Front
Panel.
Backplane. Backplane would indicate that a port of the AT-TS95TR switch is
connected via the TurboStack Segmented Backplane to a unit installed in the
port that is indicated.
Front Panel. This is the default. In this state, the unit is connected to other
units installed in the TurboStack via the Segmented Backplane unless there is
also a connection to the AT-TS95TR switch via the front panel RJ-45
connector. If there is a front panel connection, the connection made via the
front panel takes over the port and any connection to the port via the
TurboStack’s Segmented Backplane is disconnected.
