SET PORT PERSONALITY
SET PORT
PERSONALITY
Use the SET PORT PERSONALITY command to designate the transmission mode
for a port on the ONline FDDI Shielded Twisted Pair Module.
The FDDI STP Module:
Supports both the SDDI and TPDDI standards for running FDDI on shielded
twisted pair cable
Allows you to designate whether the port transmits data using either SDDI or
TPDDI signaling mode
Allows you to connect the module to any vendor's device that supports
either of the two standards
All ports default to SDDI mode when you first install the FDDI STP Module. You
must use SDDI ports 1 and 2 on the FDDI Shielded Twisted Pair Module to
configure SDDI ports as S-type ports.
Format
Example
The following command sets SDDI as the transmission mode for port 2 of the
FDDI Shielded Twisted Pair Module in slot 8:
CB5000> set port 8.2 personality sddi
Port Personality set to sddi.
