Coax Port Partition Enabled / Disabled

Allows you to specify whether the Alert LED lights if the coaxial port becomes partitioned.

If this condition is resolved after causing the Alert LED to light, the LED goes off (it stays lit if other conditions also caused it to light).

Login Violation Enabled / Disabled

Allows you to specify whether the Alert LED lights if a login violation occurs, which happens if a user attempts to log on to your hub using the VT100 screens with an invalid username/password combination three consecutive times.

If this condition caused the Alert LED to light, the LED goes off after you have acknowledged the alert by pressing the associated Ack button (the LED stays lit if other conditions also caused it to light).

Port Security Violation Enabled / Disabled

Allows you to specify whether the Alert LED lights if a port security violation occurs, which happens if an unauthorized device attempts to communicate through your hub.

Setting Up the Alert LED

4-17

If this condition caused the Alert LED to light, the LED goes off after you have acknowledged the alert by pressing the associated Ack button (the LED stays lit if other conditions also caused it to light).

Authentication Failure Enabled / Disabled

Allows you to specify whether the Alert LED lights if an authentication failure occurs, which happens if a user attempts to access information on your hub using an invalid community string.

If this condition caused the Alert LED to light, the LED goes off after you have acknowledged the alert by pressing the associated Ack button (the LED stays lit if other conditions also caused it to light).

WorkGroup Monitor Failure Enabled / Disabled Allows you to specify whether the Alert LED lights if a workgroup monitor failure occurs, which happens if a remote device fails to respond to a workgroup monitor poll from your hub.

If this condition caused the Alert LED to light, the LED goes off after you have acknowledged the alert by pressing the associated Ack button (the LED stays lit if other conditions also caused it to light).
