Command	Description

Switching Mode	When "on", allows data to be sent directly to a specified port. If "off", the
	data is sent to every port. Disabling Switching Mode may be necessary
	when passing data to legacy devices.
	To change the switching mode, type 1 and then enter 2 ("on") or 3 ("off")
	for the desired setting.

Link Speed	Displays the current switch speed.
	To change the switch speed, type 2 and then enter 1 to set the link speed
	for the next boot. Select 2 (1 Gbps) or 3 (Gbps) for the desired speed
	setting.

Blocking ARB	When two ports start a communication session, the Blocking ARB is sent
	to any other ports trying to communicate with those specific ports until
	their connection is terminated. Blocking Arb is only active when the
	switching mode is on.
	Note: This setting should not be modified unless directed to do so by Vixel
	Customer Service.

Connect user	Non-functional feature designated for future use.
