CHAPTER 3
LOCAL MANAGEMENT
This chapter provides instructions on configuring the HSIM-F6 to operate
in full duplex FDDI mode, viewing HSIM-F6 FDDI statistics, translating
specific FDDI frame types to specific Ethernet frame types and to viewing
the FDDI ring topology using Local Management.
Make sure that the following requirements have been met before
configuring the HSIM-F6 through Local Management:
• At least one FPIM is installed in the HSIM-F6.
• The HSIM-F6 is installed in the host interface module or standalone
hub.
• The device is up and running.
• A Local Management terminal is properly configured and connected
to the host interface module or standalone hub in which the HSIM-F6
resides.
NOTE
When installed, the HSIM-F6 provides additional Local
Management features. These features are accessed by
entering Local Management of the host interface module or
standalone hub. Refer to the host device User’s Guide to
establish a Local Management connection.
NOTE
If the HSIM-F6 is being configured to operate in full duplex
mode, two FPIMs must be installed before proceeding.
To view HSIM-F6 FDDI statistics and ring topology, the
HSIM-F6 must be connected to the FDDI ring.
