TRMM V3.0 allows you to enable/disable the beacon recovery function using the following command:

SET DEVICE BEACON_RECOVERY {enabledisable}

Note that this feature must be enabled during normal operation; however, you may disable this feature as a trouble shooting tool, to prevent the ring from recovering before the faulty device is isolated.

TRMM V3.1 allows you to change the beacon timeout″ (the amount of time that the TRMM will wait before attempting to unwrap the RI/RO ports after these ports are wrapped due to a beacon condition) using the following TRMM command:

SET DEVICE BEACON_TIMEOUT {number of second}

The allowed range for this command is 1 to 100 seconds.

You can display the status of the TRMM beacon_recoveryand beacon_timeoutusing the following TRMM command:

SHOW DEVICE

An example of the output for this command is shown in Figure 92.
