Installing and Operating the Module 3 -15
Selecting a Network
Both models of the Port-Switching Module (Model Numbers 51 02M-FBP or
5104M-FBP) support Port-Switching technology. This fea ture enables you to
assign each port on the module to any of three Etherne t ne tworks (or
isolated) on the ONline System Concentrator backp la ne .
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 Numbe r 51 04M-FB) enables you to assign
the module to any of the three Ethernet networks (or isolated) o n the
ONline System Concentrator bac kplane.
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 refe r to the
backplane connection as the “channe l” co nnection. The
channel setting and the network setting are the same.
Modules or ports set to the same network co mmunicate
with each other.
