Changing the device’s Test mode will enable or disable its FEF function (Test off/Test
on, respectively). Please note that during normal operation this should be set to Test off
(FEF enabled).
When you choose to bind/split ports (options 2 and 3), you will be prompted whether
you wish to bind or split the ports. Binding the ports means they will reside in the same
port based VLAN, resulting in the ability to directly communicate with each other
(assuming no other factors, such as different tagging setup, interfere). Splitting the
ports will undo this operation. This option can only take effect when the VLAN mode
is ‘enabled’.
Selecting option 4 will prompt the user with the priority ratio mode selection menu
(figure 6-11 )
Hi/Low priority ratio
:
1. Always Hi first
2. Transmit at 10:1 ratio
3. Transmit at 5:1 ratio
4. Transmit at 2:1 ratio
