Attributes
Attributes allow you to set the adapter cable attribute parameters for each port.
When you click Attributes..., a dialog box similar to the one below appears:
The port numbers for all ports on the installation, including those from
cascaded switches, are listed in the column on the left. A port's attributes
are shown on the right. The purpose of each attribute is described in the
table below:
Attribute Purpose
Cable Specifies the Cat 5e cable length that is used to connect the computer
to the port. Choices are Short (less than 10 m), Medium (10–25 m),
and Long (25–40 m). The default is Short.
OS Specifies the operating system that the computer on the connected
port is using. Choices are PC (for Windows, and serial devices), Mac
(for MacOS), and Sun (for Sun Solaris). The default is PC.
Keyboard Selects the keyboard layout that the computer on the connected port is
using. Choices are English (American), French, German, Japanese,
Traditional Chinese and UK English. The default is English.
Mode Selects the Operation Mode for the port. Choices are Exclusive,
Occupy, and Share (see Operation Mode Attributes, page 54).
Note: The Operation Mode function applies to ports on the first level
switch only and is disabled for all ports of cascaded switches. Instead,
Cascade is displayed to indicate the port’s Operation Mode cannot be
changed.
