however, will not be highlighted in different colors. This situation is caused by
repeated disconnection and reconnection in token ring mode resulting in dis-
crepancies in the connection information collected from the nodes.
Screen Display for Disconnected Nodes
Above the tables in the Network Configuration Screens, the status of disconnec-
tions at that time, and the disconnection log (information on detected node dis-
connections) recorded in the base node are displayed in the following way.
Network disconnection status
Normal ring: Communications normal
Disconnecting: Disconnection
Information on dis-
connected node 2
Information on dis-
connected node 1
Node address and con-
nector where discon-
nection occurred
Normal Ring (Logged: Node10:SL1 Node12:SL2)
Information on disconnected nodes is not cleared when connection is
restored. For this reason, there may be times when a log is displayed even
though the network disconnection status indicates normal communications.
Note If there is a disconnection in one place only, the connection informa-
tion may not be concurrent, but there will be no adverse effect on data
communications. In this case, identify the location of the disconnec-
tion using the disconnection log, and remove the cause of the discon-
nection. For details, refer to information on notification and counter-
measures for network disconnections in the Optical Ring Controller
Link Units Operation Manual (W370).
