COM Port and FDDI Front Panel Displays
Note that, like the Module menu, neither the COM port nor the FDDI front panel displays are affected by changes in the Application Display. The COM port display always shows each port’s administrative status (ON or OFF), both in the text display and in the color code (green = ON, blue = OFF); the FDDI front panel display changes based on the port display form selected via the FDDI menu, as illustrated below.
Figure 2-6. COM Port and FDDI Front Panel Displays
Both the FDDI and COM port menus are available and display the same options in all Application Display modes.
Note that, although the COM port menu does not change based on the Application
TIP Display mode selected, the UPS option will only appear for COM ports which have been configured for a UPS. See Configuring COM Ports, page
FDDI Port Display Forms
You can display the following information in the front panel port displays for any installed FDDI NIM:

Displays the connection state of each port:
•CON (connecting) — the port is trying to establish a link, but has not yet been successful. Ports which are not connected and which have not been disabled by management will display this status.
•ACT (active) — the port has been enabled by management and has successfully established a link.
•SBY (standby) — the port has a physical link, but the SMT Connection Policy is prohibiting a logical connection to the ring because the attempted connection is illegal. FDDI protocol always forbids connecting two Master ports; all other connections are theoretically legal, although some are not
