3.7.2Ring Map Configuration Screen Commands

The following list describes each of the Ring Map Configuration screen commands:

Address Mode [ ]

The Address Mode command allows the user to switch between canonical and MAC format addresses. To toggle between the two address modes, press the SPACE bar.

SCROLL DOWN n

The Scroll Down n command rotates the ring display, so that the station addresses shift around the ring in a clockwise direction. The n controls the number of shifts downstream of the HSIM-F6.

SCROLL UP n

The Scroll Up n command rotates the ring display, so that the station addresses shift around the ring in a counterclockwise direction. The n controls the number of shifts upstream of the HSIM-F6.

NOTE

When the ring map contains only one station, the SCROLL UP n and SCROLL DOWN n commands do not appear.

3.7.2.1Adjusting the Scroll Number (n)

When using the SCROLL DOWN n or SCROLL UP n commands, the n allows the user to control the number of shifts made with each command execution.

To set the number (n) of scrolls, perform the following steps:

1.Using the ARROW keys, highlight the SCROLL DOWN n or SCROLL UP n command.

2.Press the SHIFT and + keys (to increment) or the SHIFT and - keys (to decrement) until the number of shifts desired displays.

3.Press ENTER. The ring map scrolls n number of shifts.

NOTE

The scroll number remains the same until it is changed manually, or the Local Management session is terminated.
