Console Configuration

SSIM-R2-02/SSIM-R8-02 HSTR SmartStack Interface Modules Installation and User Guide

The console automatically returns to the greeting screen after five minutes of 
inactivity. Five minutes is the default value. The time can be changed at the 

Console Configuration

 menu. The 

Console Configuration

 

menu is within the 

Configuration 

menu, under the main menu.

For protection against inadvertent or unauthorized access to configuration 
screens, you can set a password that users must enter at the Greeting screen. If 
no password is configured, just press 

Enter

 and the main menu is presented.

Navigating within the Menus

Use the arrow keys (also referred to as cursor keys) to move the highlight over a 
selection. If the selection is a menu, pressing the 

Enter

 key displays a new screen of 

information; if the selection is a command, such as 

Reset

, pressing the 

Enter

 key 

initiates that function.

A heading with three “dots” after it means that when that heading is selected, a 
submenu or screen is displayed. Unless specified differently, all the screens or 
menus are accessed in the same way.

Configuration Overview

Execute the following general steps to configure a SSIM-Rx-02:

Determine which VLANs the HSTR ports should connect.

Determine which VLAN, if any, should be untagged.

Configure the 802.1Q VLAN ID for all the BRFs that should be tagged.

Make sure that each 802.1Q VLAN ID matches that of the HSTR equipment 
on the other end.

Assign CRFs to the HSTR port, thereby creating one virtual port in each 
VLAN. You can create new CRFs to make sure that the CRFs do not have 
conflicting ring numbers, as discussed in “Ring Number Restriction” on 
page 14.

Configure the HSTR port, in particular the operation mode.

Configure the virtual ports, in particular the tagging mode. The relevant 
configuration menus are described in the port configuration sections.
