General Configuration Screen

Screen Lockout Time (Modifiable)

Contains the maximum number of minutes that the Local Management application displays a module’s screen while awaiting input or action from a user. For example, if the number 5 is entered in this field, the user has up to five minutes to respond to each of the specified module’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 5.15.8.

Module Uptime (Read-Only)

Displays the total time that the module has been operating.

Operational Mode (Modifiable)

This field allows the user to set the 6E12X-26 and 6E13X-25 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 24 ports located on the front panel, and each Fast Ethernet Interface Module, and HSIM port(s) are bridged to each other.

In 802.1Q SWITCHING mode, the 6E12X-26 and 6E13X-25 are able to increase their switching functionality by creating and maintaining IEEE port based VLANs.

When the operational mode is set to SECURE FAST VLAN, the 6E12X-26 and 6E13X-25 act as SecureFast switches. With the Cabletron Systems VLAN Manager software, the modules 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 5.15.9.
