Cabletron Systems 2208 manual Displays the total time that the device has been operating

Chapter 5: Local Management

Screen Lockout Time (Modifiable)

Contains the maximum number of minutes that the Local Management application displays a standalone device’s screen while awaiting input or action from a user. For example, if the number 5 is entered in this field, you have up to five minutes to respond to each of the specified standalone device’s Local Management screens. In this example, after five minutes of “idleness” (no input or action), the terminal “beeps” five times, the Local Management application terminates the session, and the display returns to the Password screen. To enter a new lockout time, refer to Section 5.7.8.

Device Uptime (Read-Only)

Displays the total time that the device has been operating.

Operational Mode (Modifiable)

This field allows the user to set the 2H22-08R to operate as a traditional switch (802.1d SWITCHING option), an IEEE 802.1Q switch (802.1Q SWITCHING option), or as a Cabletron Systems SecureFast switch (SECURE FAST VLAN option).

In 802.1d SWITCHING mode, the six ports located on the front panel, and each Fast Ethernet Interface Module are bridged to each other.

In 802.1Q SWITCHING mode, the 2H22-08R is able to increase switching functionality by creating and maintaining IEEE port based VLANs.

When the operational mode is set to SECURE FAST VLAN, the

2H22-08R interfaces act as SecureFast switches. With the Cabletron Systems VLAN Manager software, the devices are able to increase their switching functionality by creating and maintaining Virtual LANs (VLANs).

For details on how to select the Operational Mode, refer to Section 5.7.9.

Com (Modifiable)

This field allows you to enable or disable the COM port. The selection toggles between ENABLED and DISABLED. The default is ENABLED. For details about setting up the COM port, refer to Section 5.7.10.
