Selecting a Network

Both models of the Port-Switching Module (Model Numbers 5102M-FBP or 5104M-FBP) support Port-Switching technology. This feature enables you to assign each port on the module to any of three Ethernet networks (or isolated) on the ONline System Concentrator backplane.

To set a port to a network or to isolated mode, use the following management command:

SET PORT {slot.port} NETWORK {ethernet_1}

{slot.all}{ethernet_2} {ethernet_3} {isolated}

The 10BASE-FB Module (Model Number 5104M-FB) enables you to assign the module to any of the three Ethernet networks (or isolated) on the ONline System Concentrator backplane.

To set a module to a network or to isolated mode, use the following management command:

SET MODULE {slot} NETWORK {ethernet_1} {ethernet_2} {ethernet_3} {isolated}

Note: The dip switch settings on the module refer to the backplane connection as the “channel” connection. The channel setting and the network setting are the same. Modules or ports set to the same network communicate with each other.
