Enterasys Networks MicroMMAC-T Viewing Ring Port Status, Accessing the Ring Port Status window

The MicroMMAC-T Chassis View

Board Name

Displays the name assigned to the selected module; you can edit this name by clicking on the I-bar cursor and entering a new name in the resulting window.

Station Ports

The number of station port connectors present on the selected module.

Station Ports On

The number of station ports on the module which are currently enabled by management. Note that this count does not necessarily indicate the number of stations that are actually connected and active.

Ring Ports

The number of Ring-in and Ring-out ports on the selected module. Note that this will include any station ports that have been converted to ring-out ports.

Ring Ports On

The number of Ring-in and Ring-out ports that are currently enabled by management. Note that this count does not necessarily indicate the number of ring ports that are actually connected (not wrapped) and active.

Management Mode/AutoMode

This field indicates whether the module is in Management Mode (hardware defaults have been altered through NetSight Element Manager), or is in AutoMode (set to operate according to hardware defaults). See Setting Token Ring Boards to Automode, page 2-30, for more information.

Ring Speed Fault

If the selected module is responsible for a ring speed fault – either because of its own speed setting or the speed setting of a module connected through its ring in/ring out ports – an error message will appear at the bottom of the board status window. This is the only ring error that will be displayed here.

Viewing Ring Port Status

The Ring Port Status window (Figure 2-11) updates you on the configuration and wire fault status of the selected ring port, and allows you to configure the media type and phantom current settings on modules which support those features.
