Figure 19-1 On-Line Port Operations Menu
[B],[B] from Main Menu
Operations A–D disable or enable a single port or a sequential range of same-type
ports (e.g., all SNA ports from port 1 to port 3). The operations can be useful for per-
forming maintenance on ports without shutting down the node. They are also used to
activate a PVC by disabling, then enabling, both ports after the PVC record has been
created.
Select an operation from the menu (Figure 19-1), items A–D. When prompted:
●If enabl ing or disab li n g a si ng l e por t, enter:
◆RLP Port: 0–7 for physica l ports, 8–63 for logical ports. Valid numbers for
physical ports depend on the model of SmartSwitch 1800—see port loca-
tions on page 6-1 .
●If enabling or disabling a range of ports, enter:
◆Port Type :
1 (X.25), 2 (frame relay), 3 (async), 4 (SNA), 5 (BSCI),
6 (BSCB), or 7 (Voice).
