Management Menus
30
Status
The
Status
column shows the port’s automatic or manual partitioning state:
either
Normal, Disabled
or
Partitioned. Normal
indicates a port that is
not currently partitioned—a ready (but not necessarily currently active) port.
Disabled
indicates a port that has been manually disabled via the
management agent.
Partitioned
is shown if the port has been automatically
disabled—the repeater state machine has placed the port in an Off line/
Disabled state. Note that the state of any 10BASE2 that is disconnected on
an AT-3608TR Repeater is
Partitioned
.
Polarity
The
Polarity
column shows the state of each UTP port’s receive pair
polarity: either
Normal, Reversed
or
Corrected. Normal
indicates correct
polarity.
Reversed
indicates incorrect polarity—the port’s Polarity
Correction Mode is set to Manual and the incorrect polarity has not been
corrected.
Corrected
indicates incorrect polarity that has been corrected by
the AT-3600—the port’s Polarity Correction Mode is set to Automatic (this is
the default) and the incorrect polarity has been automatically corrected.
The
Polarity
column is not meaningful for the AUI port and is not displayed
for the AT-3606F or AT-3608 Repeaters.
