Device Uptime (Read-Only)

Displays the total time that the device has been operating.

Operational Mode (Modifiable)

This field allows the user to set the 2M46-04R to operate as a traditional switch (802.1D SWITCHING), an IEEE 802.1Q switch (802.1Q SWITCHING), or as a Cabletron Systems SecureFast switch (SECURE FAST VLAN).

In 802.1D SWITCHING mode, the Fast Ethernet Interface Module(s), and HSIM port(s) are bridged to each other.

In 802.1Q SWITCHING mode, the 2M46-04R acts as a IEEE 802.1Q switch which allows the creation of port-based VLANs.

When the operational mode is set to SECURE FAST VLAN, the

2M46-04R acts as a SecureFast switch. The 2M46-04R is able to increase its switching functionality by creating and maintaining Virtual LANs (VLANs).

For details on how to select the Operational Mode, refer to Section 5.7.9.

Com 1 (Toggle)

This field allows the user to enable or disable the COM port. The selection toggles between ENABLED and DISABLED. The default is ENABLED. For details about setting up the COM port, refer to Section 5.7.10.

Application (Toggle)

The UPS setting allows the COM port to be used to monitor an American Power Conversion Smart Uninterruptible Power Supply (UPS).

The baud rate setting for LM is automatically sensed. For UPS connections, the baud rate is automatically set to 2400.

The default setting is LM. For details about how to configure the COM port for various applications, refer to Section 5.7.10.
