General Configuration Screen
5-6 Module Configuration Menu Screens
Screen Refresh
Time
(Modifiable)
Enter a new update time. This setting determines how frequently (in
seconds) information is updated on the screen. To enter the refresh
time, refer to Section 5.2.8.
Screen Lockout
Time
(Modifiable)
Enter a new lockout time. This is maximum number of minutes that the
Local Management application displays a 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 no input or action, the terminal
“beeps” five times, the Local Management application terminates the
session, and the display returns to the Local Management Password
screen.
To enter the screen lockout time, refer to Section 5.2.9.
Module Uptime
(Read-Only)
See the total time that the module has been operating.
Operational Mode
(Read-Only)
Display “802.1Q SWITCHING” and cannot be changed.
Management Mode
(Toggle)
Set the switch module to operate in either DISTRIBUTED or
STANDALONE management mode. DISTRIBUTED mode is the
default setting.
NOTE: This field is only available when the switch module is
installed in a 6C105 chassis.
It is recommended that you set all modules in the chassis to
either DISTRIBUTED or STANDALONE management mode.
When this field is set to DISTRIBUTED management mode, you can
access all modules in the chassis using only one IP address set using
the Chassis Configuration screen described in Section 4.2. The
DISTRIBUTED management mode also allows you to use the COM
port on any of the switches set to the DISTRIBUTED management
mode to access the Local Management of each switch module.
In STANDALONE management mode, the switch can be configured
with its own IP address and operate as an independent switch within
the chassis.
