Always Send RSCN?
Following the completion of loop initialization, a registered state change
notification (RSCN) is issued when Fx_Ports detect the presence of new
devices or the absence of preexisting devices. When this feature is set, a
RSCN will always be issued following the completion of loop initialization,
regardless of the presence or absence of new or preexisting devices.
Set QuickLoop Port
To set a QuickLoop Port, press <Enter> while Set QuickLoop Port displays on the
front panel. Use <Up> and <Down> to scroll to the desired port (0 to 15).
Select the port by pressing <Tab/Esc>.
Unset QuickLoop Port
To unset a QuickLoop Port, press <Enter> while Unset QuickLoop Port displays on
the front panel. Use <Up> and <Down> to scroll to the desired port (0 to 15).

QuickLoop No AL_PA 0x00
When this feature is set, the FL_Port’s AL_PA (0x00) will not be used in loop
primitives. The FL_Port will not respond to OPENs at AL_PA 0. Instead, the
FL_Port will reserve AL_PA 0x1 as OPN, ARB, and so on.
Reset to Default
To reset all values in the Configuration menu to default conditions, press
<Enter> while
Reset to Default displays on the front panel. Select Yes and press
<Enter>. If you have customized the Ethernet IP address and switch name for
your environment, these do not reset to default values.
NOTE:
Resetting the switch to default conditions causes all configuration settings,
names, and passwords entered to revert to default settings.
