DLE22-MA,DLE32-MA,DLE23-MA and DLE33-MA User’s Guide 5-39
Screen Lockout Time (Modifiable)
Contains the maximum number of minutes that the Local Management
application displays a module’s screen while awaiting input or action
from a user. For example, if the number 5 is entered in this field, the user
has up to five minutes to respond to each of the specified module’s Local
Management screens. In this example, after five minute s of “idle ness” (no
input or action), the terminal “beeps” five times, the Local Management
application terminates the session, and the display returns to the Pa ssword
screen. To enter a new lockout time, refer to Section5.15.8.
Module Uptime (Read-Only)
Displays the total time that the module has been operating.
Operational Mode (Modifiable)
This field allows the user to set the DLE2X-MA and DLE3X-MA to
operate as a traditional switch (802.1D SWITCHING option), or an IEEE
802.1Q switch (802.1Q SWITCHING option).
In 802.1D SWITCHING mode, the 24 ports located on the front panel,
and each Fast Ethernet Interface Module, and HSIM port(s) are bridged to
each other.
In 802.1Q SWITCHING mode, the DLE2X-MA and DLE3X-MA are
able to increase their switching functionality by creating and maintaining
IEEE port based VLANs.
For details on how to select the Operational Mode, refer to Section 5.15.9.
Management Mode (Toggle)
This field toggles between DISTRIBUTED and STAND ALONE.
In DISTRIBUTED mode, Local Management is entered via the
DLM6C-AA password screen, and all chassis configuration screens are
available to the user. All othe r modules installed in the chassis that are set
for distributed management may also be accessed via a connection to a
single COM port on one of the modules.
In STAND ALONE mode, the module is isolated from the chassis
configuration screens, and the module may not be accessed from a module
that is in DISTRIBUTED mode. This provides additional s ecurity for any
