3Com 5124M-TPCL manual Enabling Link Integrity, Selecting a Network

Enabling Link Integrity

Use the following guidelines to determine whether to enable or disable Link Integrity:

❑Enable Link Integrity for all ports on the 24-Port Module for networks that comply with the 10BASE-T standard.

❑Disable Link Integrity only when connecting to older equipment that does not comply with the 10BASE-T standard.

The Link Integrity setting at both ends of a connection must be either enabled or disabled. If Link Integrity settings are not configured to the same setting, the 24-Port Module with Link Integrity enabled reports a Link Integrity error.

The Link Status LED for each connector (bank) will be on solid if the Link Integrity is valid for ports which are both enabled and have Link Integrity enabled. If all enabled ports have Link Integrity testing disabled the LED is also on solid. In all other cases the LED will blink in approximately 1-second intervals.

Note: In an unmanaged concentrator, you can only enable or disable Link Integrity for each connector on the module.

To enable Link Integrity for a port:

SET PORT {slot.port} LINK_INTEGRITY {enable}

{slot.all}{disable}

Selecting a Network

The ONline Ethernet 24-Port Module provides bank-level configuration flexibility.

To assign all 24 ports on the module to one of three backplane networks, use the following management command:
