9F206-02 Module
Specific Information
Introduction
This appendix contains local management information that is speciÞc to the 9F206-02 FDDI Repeater Module.
The 9F206-02 FDDI Repeater Module physically attaches to the FNB-1 and the FNB-2 on the SmartSwitch 9000Õs FNB backplane. By default, the module inserts into four rings (the primary and secondary rings of the FNB-1 and the FNB-2). The 9F206-02 ConÞguration Screen allows you to customize this conÞguration to your particular needs. The default values that appear on this screen are determined by the moduleÕs DIP switches. (For more information on setting this moduleÕs DIP switches, refer to the SmartSwitch 9000 9F206-02 FDDI Repeater MicroLAN Module UserÕs Guide.)
The 9F206-02 ConÞguration Screen allows you to:
¥Establish whether the moduleÕs two FDDI-1 front panel connections will insert into the backplaneÕs FNB-1 (primary and secondary) rings or bypass the FNB-1 rings (see Figure 1).
¥Establish whether the moduleÕs two FDDI-2 front panel connections will insert into the backplaneÕs FNB-2 (primary and secondary) rings or bypass the FNB-2 rings (see Figure 1).
The terms ÒInsertedÓ and ÒBypassedÓ refer to relays that are located on the module. Inserted causes a relay to connect the moduleÕs speciÞc front panel connections to the selected ring. Bypassed causes a relay to disconnect the moduleÕs speciÞc front panel connections from the selected ring.
