3.Type in the desired management station name.

4.Click on OK. The name will change in the text box, and then at the MicroMMAC-T management station itself. Click on Cancel to close the window.

The Station Location text box allows you to assign the management station’s physical drop identifier. The station’s physical drop is an administratively assigned numeric string that you can use to identify a station’s physical location. If assigned, the drop will appear as a subvector in certain Token Ring MAC frames (such as a new active monitor frame, report error frames, or the report station address frame used in the neighbor notification process); it will also be reported in the RMON Token Ring Station Configuration window (see theUser’s Guide for details). A physical drop is a four-byte value expressed dotted decimal notation, much like an IP address; each byte of the value can be any number from 0 to 255.

To alter the device location (physical drop identifier):

1.In the Network list in the upper right corner of the window, double-click on the Network 1 selection.

2.Click on the I-bar cursor in the Station Location text box; the Station Location Configuration window, Figure 2-8, will appear.
