The BackPlane Configuration View
To change the connection from the 9F116-01 to the backplane:
a.
Click the left mouse button on the Bridge Interface 1 field. A pull-down
menu will appear.
b.
Drag down and to the right to select Connect FNB1 —> MAC on
Primary or MAC on Secondary; Connect FNB2 —> MAC on Primary
or MAC on Secondary; Front Panel Port 1—> MAC on Primary or
MAC on Secondary; or Disconnect, as desired. The bridged
connections will change corresponding to your selection.
c.
Click the left mouse button on the Bridge Interface 2 field. A pull-down
menu will appear.
d.
Drag to select Connect FNB1 —> MAC on Primary or MAC on
Secondary, Front Panel Port 1—> MAC on Primary or MAC on
Secondary, or Disconnect, as desired. The bridged connections will
change corresponding to your selection.
e.
Click on Apply to set the changes at the 9F116-01, or click Reset to
restore the last applied configuration. If you apply changes, the interface
on the 9F116-01 will switch to the selected configuration.
Configuring the 9T122 Series Token Ring MicroLAN Module
The 9T122 series of modules are Token Ring MicroLAN Modules. Each module
supports two token ring MicroLAN networks from its front panel ports, which
can be used to directly attach ring stations or token ring modular concentrators.
The two rings are bridge routed between each other and onto one of the two
backplane FNB networks via a dual-attached bridging/routing interface. This
interface attaches simultaneously to both the primary and secondary FDDI ring of
FNB-1 or FNB-2; it is also encoded with MAC (Media Access Control) protocol
information. The moduleÕs MAC encoding can be assigned to either the primary
or secondary path of the selected FNB ring.
1.
In the BackPlane Configuration view, click the left mouse button on either
FNB-1 or FNB-2 in the middle of the 9T122 module front panel display. The
FNB Configuration window (Figure 3-10) will appear.
2.
If the 9T122 is currently connected to the FNB, a dual line will display from the
bridge/route interface to either FNB-1 (primary and secondary), or FNB-2
(primary and secondary), with its MAC on either the primary or secondary
path of the selected FNB. If the 9T122 is isolated from the backplane, no
connecting lines will appear.
