3 - 14 ONline Ethernet 10BASE-FB Module Installati on a n d Operation Guide
When an ONline management m odule is installed in a concen trator, all of
the dip switch settings on the 10BASE-FL Module are overridden.
When you first install the mod ule:
1. The network (channel) defaults to isolated m ode. The ports are
automatically disabled so that unapproved users cannot be added.
Therefore, you must enable the ports you w ish to use and set the
ports to the appropriate Ethernet netw ork through the management
commands.
2. All other module settings retain t he same default values as the dip
switch default values. The refore, you only need to ch anges these
values through management if you do not w ant the default values.
This section describes the m anagement commands to set these features.
For additional information on the available network management features,
refer to:
❑The appropriate ONline management module installation and
operation guide

Enabling Ports
You can enable or disable each of the four ports on the module. Wh en a
port is enabled, it can transmit data onto and receive data from the
network to which the module i s assigned. Disable all unused ports on the
10BASE-FB Modules to prevent the Status ind ic ators from flashing a No
Light condition.
To enable or disable a specific port, use the following m anagement
command:
SET PORT {
slot.port
} MODE {enab le}
{
slot
.all} {disable}
