Token Ring Ring ConÞguration View
Ring Name Ð The ASCII name assigned to this ring. This name defaults to
Network n, where n is a unique integer value.
Ring Number Ð The number of the attached ring. If SPECTRUM cannot
determine the number of the ring, a zero is returned.
Ring Speed Ð The speed of the ring, which can have a value of 4 or 16
megabits.
Ring Status Ð The operational state of the ring.
Active Monitor Ð The MAC address of the active monitor for the ring. This
address will appear in any tables with an asterisk (*) to identify it.
Active Stations Ð The number of active stations currently inserted on the
ring.
The Beacon Recovery button lets you enable or disable automatic beacon
recovery for the TRBMIM. If you click on this button, the system displays a
three-option pop-up menu, letting you select between Enabled, Disabled,
and Invalid; the button readout identiÞes whichever selection is currently in
effect. When this button is in its Disabled state, the TRBMIM will not
attempt to reinsert itself into the ring after entering a beaconing state. If the
device does not support automatic beacon recovery, SPECTRUM will display a
status of Invalid.
The Ring Alarm/Threshold/State section, located on the left side of the
Token Ring Ring ConÞguration view, has three columns, displaying
information on the ring alarms, their current thresholds, and their states
(Enabled or Disabled). You can change the threshold settings by typing new
values into the Threshold Þelds. In addition, the state designations are
really readouts on two-position push-buttons, and you can change each alarm
to its alternate state by clicking on the button. The applicable ring alarms are
as follows:
Ring Purges Ð The threshold Þeld lets you set a value for the Ring Purges
alarm threshold. The associated state button lets you Enable or Disable
detection of this alarm.
AMP Errors Ð The threshold Þeld lets you set a value for the Active Monitor
Error alarm threshold. The associated state button lets you Enable or
Disable detection of this alarm.
Claim Token Errors Ð The threshold Þeld lets you set a value for the Claim
Token Errors alarm threshold. The associated state button lets you Enable or
Disable detection of this alarm.
Lost Frames Ð The threshold Þeld lets you set a value for the Lost Frames
alarm threshold. The associated state button lets you Enable or Disable
detection of this alarm.
