1-6
Non Master Cts The number of A, B, or S ports on this station or concentrator.
Master Cts The number of M Ports in a node. If the node is not a concentrator, the value
of the variable is zero. An M port is a port that provides a connection for
Single Attachment Station (SAS) devices to the FDDI framework.
Notify The timer, in seconds, used in the Neighbor Notification protocol. This value
can range from 2 to 30 seconds, with a default value of 30 seconds. You can
modify this field.
StatRptPolicy Indicates whether the node will generate Status Reporting Frames for its
implemented events and conditions. Choices are True or False. If True,
Status Reporting Frames will be generated. The initial value is True.
TraceMaxExpiration The maximum propagation time, in milliseconds, for a Trace on an FDDI
topology. You can modify this field.
Bypass Present Indicates whether the station has a bypass on its AB port pair. Possible
options are True (bypassing) or False (not bypassing).
ECM State Indicates the current state of the Entity Coordination Management (ECM),
which controls the optical bypass switch and notifies physical connection
management when an acceptable connection has been made and the
transmission medium is available. The possible ECM states defined below
are Out, In, Trace, Leave, Path_Test, Insert, Check, Deinsert.
Out When Connection Management (CMT) is initialized, the ECM enters the Out
state. In this state, the ECM waits for a connect request from SMT. A
successful completion of a path test is required to proceed out of the Out
state. In the Out state, if an optical bypass switch is present, it is in a
bypassed state.
In The normal state for a completed connection.
Trace Used to localize a stuck Beacon condition.
