Setup and Configuration
4–2
Setting the Display Mode
This section describes the information available for each display mode and the
corresponding LEDs. The display functions are listed in the sequence selected by the
Configure button. For a more detailed description of these LEDs, refer to Chapter 2.
A long press on the Configure button is used to initiate basic configuration. (The LEDs
light to indicate the configuration function.) A short press switches between functions. A
second long press implements the current selection.
Port Status Display
Active LED: Status (ON)
This is the default display mode. It shows the percentage of packet collisions occurring out
of the total packets transmitted by the respective port. The status of each port is also
displayed, including information on transmit, receive, and link status.
Bandwidth Utilization
Active LED: Util% (ON)
In this mode, the statistical LEDs (the LED array labeled %) show the percentage of valid
data handled by each port on the switch compared to available bandwidth.
Packet Forwarding Ratio
Active LED: Forward% (ON)
In this mode, the statistical LEDs (the LED array labeled %) show the percentage of
packets that are forwarded by bridging hardware to another port on the DEL8X.
Packet Filtering Ratio
Active LED: Filter% (ON)
In this mode, the statistical LEDs (the LED array labeled %) show the percentage of
packets that are filtered from the DEL8X by bridging hardware because the destination
address is on the segment connected to the receiving port (that is, in the same segment with
the source address).
Demonstration Function
Active LED: Demo (ON)
Enabling the Demo function will light all LEDs, one at a time. The LEDs will continue to
light until the Demo function is disabled (Demo LED is OFF) using the Configure button.
