Gateway Address
To view the gateway address, press <Enter> while Gateway address displays on
the front panel. To enter a new gateway address:
1. Use <Up> and <Down> to increment or decrement the value.
2. After you enter a number, press <Tab/Esc> to move the cursor and
modify the next field.
3. After setting the gateway address, press <Enter> to store the value.
Domain
To view the domain number, press <Enter> while Domain displays on the front
panel. The domain number uniquely identifies each switch in a fabric. The
domain number can be any value between 1 and 239. If VC-Encoded Address
Mode is in effect, the value can by any number between 0 and 31. Normally,
the switch assigns itself a domain, but you can also assign this number
manually.
BB_credit
To view the buffer-to-buffer credit, press <Enter> while BB_credit displays on
the front panel. The number that displays represents the number of buffers,
from 1 to 16, available to the host.
R_A_TOV
To view the Resource Allocation Time Out Value, press <Enter> while
R_A_TOV displays on the front panel. You can adjust this value in 1-second
increments using front panel controls, but it displays in milliseconds.
NOTE:
Use the flashSet command during a Telnet session to set the R_A_TOV value for
values other than whole seconds.
R_A_TOV works with the Error Detect Time Out Value (E_D_TOV) to
determine the switch’s actions when presented with an error condition.
Allocated circuit resources with detected errors are not released until the time
value has expired. If the condition is resolved prior to timing out, the internal
time out clock resets. The R_A_TOV value can range from 1 to 120 seconds.
NOTE:
The set value for R_A_TOV must be larger than the set value for E_D_TOV.
