6H122-08 User’s Guide 5-19
Screen Lockout Time (Modifiable)
Contains the maximum number of minutes that the Local Management
application displays a module’s screen while awaiting input or action
from a user. For example, if the number 5 is entered in this field, the user
has up to five minutes to respond to each of the specified module’s Local
Management screens. In this example, after five minutes of “idleness” (no
input or action), the terminal “beeps” five times, the Local Management
application terminates the session, and the display returns to the Password
screen. To enter a new lockout time, refer to Section 5.7.6.
Chassis Uptime (Read-Only)
Displays the total time the chassis has been operating. The chassis uptime
is based on which interface module installed in the chassis has been
operating for the longest period of time.
Operational Mode (Toggle)
This field allows the user to set all the modules in the chassis to operate as
traditional switches (802.1D SWITCHING option), or as IEEE 802.1Q
switches (802.1Q SWITCHING option).
In 802.1D SWITCHING mode, the 6 ports located on the front panel, and
each Fast Ethernet Interface Module are bridged to each other.
When the operational mode is set to 802.1Q SWITCHING, the 6H122-08
acts as an IEEE 802.1Q switch. The module is able to increase its
switching functionality by creating and maintaining port based Virtual
LANs (VLANs).
For details on how to select the Operational Mode, refer to Section 5.7.7.
5.7.1 Setting the IP Address
To set the IP address, perform the following steps:
1. Use the arrow keys to highlight the IP Address field.
2. Enter the IP address into this field using Decimal Dotted Notation
(DDN) format.
For example: 134.141.79.120
