• Com Port Configuration allows you to configure the settings of the COM ports
on the MultiSwitch 700 module; see Configuring the COM Port, on page 2-29.
• B
roadcast Suppression allows you to set a threshold on the number of
broadcast packets issued from each port on the MultiSwitch 700 module when
it is operating in traditional switch (bridge) mode. See Broadcast Suppression,
on page 2-55.
• FDDI
Statistics option displays if you have a DELHF-UA installed in your
module. This launches a window which displays traffic-related statistics for
each Station Management (SMT) entity present on an installed DELHF-UA.
See Chapter 5, FDDI Management, for more information.
• U
PS brings up a window that allows you to configure an Uninterruptable
Power Supply attached to your MultiSwitch 700 Module’s COM port. See
