9F206-02 Module Specific Information
(DAS-1) Port A Status
Displays the status (Link or No-Link) and the connection type (A-A, A-B, or A-M) of the moduleÕs FDDI-1 front panel A port. The value ÒLinkÓ indicates that an operating workstation is connected to the moduleÕs FDDI-1 front panel A port.
(DAS-1) Port B Status
Displays the status (Link or No-Link) and the connection type (A-B, B-B, B-M) of the moduleÕs FDDI-1 front panel B port. The value ÒLinkÓ indicates that an operating workstation is connected to the moduleÕs FDDI-1 front panel B port.
(DAS-1) Port A Type
IdentiÞes the type of FDDI Port Interface Module (FPIM) that is installed in the moduleÕs FDDI-1 front panel A port.
(DAS-1) Port B Type
IdentiÞes the type of FDDI Port Interface Module (FPIM) that is installed in the moduleÕs FDDI-1 front panel B port.
FNB-2 Status (Toggle)
Allows you to control whether or not the moduleÕs FDDI-2 front panel ports will connect (insert) to the backplaneÕs FNB-2 rings (see Figure 1).
¥When set to Inserted, the moduleÕs FDDI-2 (A and B) ports insert directly into the backplaneÕs FNB-2 primary and secondary rings.
¥When set to Bypassed, the moduleÕs FDDI-2 (A and B) ports do not connect to the backplane. Therefore, no communications between the FDDI-2 front panel ports and the backplane can occur.
(FNB-2) Port A Status
Indicates whether there is a link or no link between the moduleÕs FDDI-2 A port and the backplaneÕs FNB-2.
(FNB-2) Port B Status
Indicates whether there is a link or no link between the moduleÕs FDDI-2 B port and the backplaneÕs FNB-2.
(FNB-2) External Path (Toggle)
Indicates the speciÞc ring of the backplaneÕs FNB-2 that extends out to traverse the moduleÕs FDDI-2 front panel A and B ports. You can change the value in this Þeld from Primary to Secondary. A third value (Isolated) appears in this Þeld whenever the module is not inserted into the FNB-2 (i.e., when the value in the FNB-2 Status Þeld is ÒBypassedÓ).
