The Token Ring Board Status Screen
IRM3 User’s Guide Page 4-29
• RIGHT...... ATTACHED
Indicates the board is attached to the right FNB multiplexer. This
indicates that the adjoining board has an open left FNB multiplexer (as
long as both boards are set to the same ring speed, and are not in a
bypass state).
• RIGHT...... DETACHED
Indicates that the board is disconnected from the right FNB
multiplexer. This means it is also disconnected from all boards to its
right in the MMAC.
• RIGHT...... FAULTED
Indicates that the Token Ring board has attempted to attach Right but
failed. Some reasons for a faulted condition include the following: no
board inserted to the right, a non-Token Ring board inserted to the
right, or a Token Ring board is installed but not properly configured
for a connection (i.e., different ring speed setting).
The Bypass status of the board is also displayed here. There are two
possible status conditions for this field:
• BYPASS...... BYPASSED
Indicates that the board is bypassed and all ports on the board are
acting as a self-contained ring.
• BYPASS...... INSERTED
Indicates that the board is inserted and all ports on the board can be
connected to a ring network, depending on the status of surrounding
boards and FNB connections.
Board Settings
Displays the speed setting for the board. There are two possible speed
settings: 4 Mbps and 16 Mbps.
