9F206-02 Configuration Screen Fields
The following information brießy explains each 9F206-02 ConÞguration Screen
Þeld.
FNB-1 Status (Toggle)
Allows you to control whether or not the moduleÕs FDDI-1 front panel ports will
connect (insert) to the backplaneÕs FNB-1 rings (see Figure 1).
¥ When set to Inserted, the moduleÕs FDDI-1 (A and B) ports insert directly into
the backplaneÕs FNB-1 primary and secondary rings.
¥ When set to Bypassed, the moduleÕs FDDI-1 (A and B) ports do not connect to
the backplane. Therefore, no communications between the FDDI-1 front panel
ports and the backplane can occur.
(FNB-1) Port A Status
Indicates whether there is a link or no link between the moduleÕs FDDI-1 A port
and the backplaneÕs FNB-1.
(FNB-1) Port B Status
Indicates whether there is a link or no link between the moduleÕs FDDI-1 B port
and the backplaneÕs FNB-1.
(FNB-1) External Path (Toggle)
Indicates the speciÞc ring of the backplaneÕs FNB-1 that extends out to traverse
the moduleÕs FDDI-1 front panel A and B ports. You can change the value in this
Þeld from Primary to Secondary. A third value (Isolated) appears in this Þeld
whenever the module is not inserted into the FNB-1 (i.e., when the value in the
FNB-1 Status Þeld is ÒBypassedÓ).
(FNB-1) Configuration
Indicates one of the following:
¥ FNB-1 is inserted (ÒInsertedÓ) on the backplane ring.
¥ FNB-1 is isolated (ÒBypassedÓ) from the backplane ring.
DAS-1 Status
Indicates the status of DAS-1:
¥ Dual Homed
¥ Isolated
¥ Thru
¥ Twisted
¥ Wrapped
