9223SA-OM (V2.0)

Current Time: This field indicates the 9223-SA view of what the current date and time
is. If your frame is not NTP-synchronized, this is useful to figure out “how long ago did
this event happen”.

Clear Log Display: If you click on this button, it clears all log views. This is useful to
quickly identify any new events after the unit has been set up. Note that this action does
not clear the logs stored in non-volatile memory.

The 9223-SA will store up to about 400 kbytes of logs in non-volatile memory. When that limit
is reached, the oldest half of the stored logs will be deleted to make space for new logs.

Control Tab

The Control Tab is used to configure the management Ethernet ports in the 9223-SA. This
includes both the IP information, as well as the SNMP parameters.

The 9223-SA has two physical management (control) Ethernet ports. However, from a logical
standpoint, they are a single port with a single IP address; the two connections are provided for
control redundancy. If one port looses link, the unit can still be controlled from the other. If you
do not need control redundancy, you can leave one of the ports disconnected. The unit will
automatically and dynamically select the control port as follows:

If only one port has link, that port will be used for control.

If both ports have link, but at different speeds, the port with the highest speed will be
used for control.

If both ports have link at the same speed, Port 1 will be used for control.

Both ports support operation at 10, 100 and 1000 Mb/s, both half-duplex and full-duplex, with
auto-negotiation and auto-crossover detection.

The Control Tab has two bottom tabs:

Control Port is used to configure the IP parameters of the control port.

SNMP is used to configure the SNMP parameters for the unit.
