CHAPTER 3
LOCAL MANAGEMENT
This chapter provides instructions on configuring the HSIM-F6 to operate in full duplex FDDI mode, viewing HSIM-F6 FDDI statistics, translating specific FDDI frame types to specific Ethernet frame types and to viewing the FDDI ring topology using Local Management.
When installed, the HSIM-F6 provides additional Local Management features. These features are accessed by entering Local Management of the host interface module or standalone hub. Refer to the host device User’s Guide to establish a Local Management connection.
Make sure that the following requirements have been met before configuring the HSIM-F6 through Local Management:
•At least one FPIM is installed in the HSIM-F6.
•The HSIM-F6 is installed in the host interface module or standalone hub.
•The device is up and running.
•A Local Management terminal is properly configured and connected to the host interface module or standalone hub in which the HSIM-F6 resides.
If the HSIM-F6 is being configured to operate in full duplex mode, two FPIMs must be installed before proceeding.
To view HSIM-F6 FDDI statistics and ring topology, the HSIM-F6 must be connected to the FDDI ring.
