: Enter the index number of the physical P430 port to use:
e.g., 1 for the topmost port (the port closest to the mounting screw on
the P430 board's backplane) on the first P430 board, 4 for the bottom
most port on the first board, 5 for the first port on the second board, etc.
This parameter is required.

:
Enter the port number of the master port
for this group, as explained above. The configuration for the master
port will have the same value in the "Port Number" and "Group Master
Port Number" fields; the slave ports will each have a different "Port
Number" but all will have the same "Group Master Port Number' value
(the port number of the master port).

: This field will only appear if this port is a master port:
i.e., if the values in the "Port Number" and "Group Master Port
Number" fields are equal. This field selects between three basic group
types: symmetric trunking, asymmetric trunking, and fail-over only.
See Chapter 7, Configuring PhobosLink Software, for an explanation
of these different settings.

: This field will only appear if the port is a group
master and if trunking is enabled (i.e., the "Group Type" field is set
to Symmetric or Asymmetric). The selections are between three
different algorithms for choosing the port on which to transmit an
outgoing packet. (The port on which incoming packets are received is
determined by the switch or host on the other side of the connection.)
Three transmit policies are available: Adaptive, Fixed, and Round-Robin.
See Chapter 7, Configuring PhobosLink Software, for an explanation
of these different settings.
