Ring Map

7.In the Station Port Retry Delay field, click and drag the scroll bar to select the interval, in seconds, between station port retries. You should select a value which is a multiple of 7; values which are not divisible by 7 will be rounded down to the nearest appropriate value.

Each value is set as soon as the mouse button is released; footer messages will indicate set failure.

NOTE

Remember, not all devices nor all versions of device firmware support the ability to configure station port retry parameters; if the device you are monitoring does not support this feature, the related fields will be grayed out. Where these parameters are not settable, station ports will be retried once, at a pre-determined interval, then remain disabled until further management action is taken.

Using the Find Options

The Ring Map window provides several search options that allow you to discover individual stations on the selected ring network by any one of the following characteristics:

•Drop

•Board and Port Index

•Station Name

•MAC Address

For convenience, you can also identify the following stations of interest:

•Active Monitor on the ring

•The Ring Management Station

•Last Beaconing Station on the ring

And you can identify a selected station’s:

•NAUN (Nearest Active Upstream Neighbor)

•NADN (Nearest Active Downstream Neighbor)

Finally, to keep track of station performance, you can identify stations on your network in ascending (By Lowest –> Highest) or descending (By Highest –> Lowest) order of frames processed, total errors, or specific errors.
