Managing the Hub at the Port Level

At the Station or Ring port level, you can convert a station port into a ring-out port, remove a station from the ring, or enable or disable a station or ring port.

Converting a Station Port to a Ring-out Port

If you are monitoring a TRXMIM or a 93 Series Token Ring MIM (the TRMIM 22A/24A/ 42A/44A), you have the ability to switch the function of a station port to that of a ring-out port. In this conﬁguration, you can add a stand-alone passive concentrator (such as a Cabletron Systems TRC800 or IBM® 8228) to the ring. This allows for a star-wired network with the MMAC at the center.

To convert a station port on a TRXMIM or a 93 Series TRMIM into a ring-out port:

1.Click mouse button 3 in the Port Index or Port Status box to display the Station Port menu.

2.Drag down to Enable Ring Out and release to convert the station port into a ring-out port.

The converted port will assume full functionality of a ring-out port, and will reﬂect as such in the Hub View window. The port status will now display as that of a ring-out port, and the port menu will now assume ring port menu properties.

To convert the ring-out port back into a station port:

1.Click mouse button 3 in the Port Index or Port Status box to display the Ring Port menu.

2.Drag down to Disable Ring Out and release to revert the functionality of the port back to a station port.

Enabling and Disabling Station and Ring Ports

You can enable ports from the Module menu, which affects all ports on a single module. You can enable and disable ports from the Station Port and Ring Port menus, which affect individual ports.

To enable or disable an individual station or ring port:

1.Click mouse button 1 on the Station or Ring Port Status box to toggle the port On or Off. Enabled ports are yellow, disabled ports are blue.
