LOCAL MANAGEMENT

Using the ADMINISTRATIVE Mode Screen

In addition to displaying the operational status of ring ports, the ADMINISTRATIVE mode screen provides you with two methods for controlling access to them:

•Bypassing ports.

•Enabling and Disabling ports.

When you bypass a module, or device, you not only remove it from the Token Ring to which it was previously attached, but you also establish a separate, or stand-alone, Token Ring composed only of the terminals attached to the ports on the bypassed module.

This capability is useful, for example, when you want to establish a secondary ring to run at a slower data transmission speed, or for segregating a user group sharing a common application, or for security reasons.

Enabling or disabling ports simply turns them on and off.
