General Configuration Screen

Screen Lockout Time (Modifiable)

Contains the maximum number of minutes that the Local Management application displays a module’s sc reen 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 minutes of “idleness” (no input or action), the terminal “beeps” five times, the Local Management application terminates the session, and the display returns to the Password screen. To enter a new lockout time, refer to Section 5.15.8.

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.
