Module Speciﬁc Conﬁguration Screen

9F120-08 / 9F122-12 / 9F125-08 Module Speciﬁc Information

In the FNB Resource Conﬁguration Screen, you determine which of the two FNB rings contains the MAC. The 9F120 MicroLAN Module Speciﬁc Conﬁguration Screen allows you to assign one of the two FNB rings (either the ring that contains the MAC or the ring that does not contain the MAC) to each of the module’s M- ports. The default ring that is assigned to each of the module’s M-ports is the ring that contains the MAC.
