  • Page 18: Message Zone

    Mini Console Message Zone The Message Zone displays the menu items in the menu tree. The large alphanumeric characters are easy to read and are an important navigational tool. Figure 3.2 Message Zone Observing Basic Port Information The basic port information, such as link up, link down, transmit/receive activity, enabled/disabled as well as auto partition can be easily spotted through the Port Indicators located in the first row of the Mini-Console.

  • Page 19: Port Indicator Definitions

    Mini Console The Port Indicator shows the ports that are linked up by intensifying the light for the ports that are available. The example above, Fig 3.3 shows ports 1~4, are linked up (or available) and port 6 is partitioned. While the ports are receiving or transmitting data, the port’s number will be flashing.

  • Page 28: Optimizing Network Performance

    3-12 Mini Console Optimizing Network Performance When the network traffic is heavy, overloaded ports can be identified by watching the Utilization or Collision Ratio. It may be the time to tune the system to match the environment. Since the system resources are shared by all ports, the system allocates a limited budget to every port to prevent one failed port from using up all the resources.

  • Page 29: Configuring Ports

    3-13 Mini Console Configuring Ports All the ports of FSW-0802/1201TX support Auto-Negotiation and the default for all ports are configured in this mode. In the Auto-Negotiation mode, the switch learns the setting of the opposite site and configures itself to meet its counter part.

  • Page 31: Vlans

    3-15 Mini Console VLANs Hub FSW-0802/1201TX supports up to 8 virtual LANs (VLANs). VLANs effectively divide the ports into separate domains through software. Ports in one VLAN cannot communicate with ports in another VLAN. To allow ports from different VLANs to communicate, assign them to a common VLAN. You can configure each port to join one VLAN or more than one of the 8 VLANs through the Port Setting menu.

  • Page 34: Loop Isolation

    3-18 Mini Console Loop Isolation Loop Isolation is an important feature of the FSW-0802/1201TX. This condition could exist if two ports are inadvertently connected to each other causing a loop. The switching device can not sustain a loop because it produces Broadcast Storm thereby jamming the system with looping packets.

  • Page 35: Unlock The Console

    3-19 Mini Console If a User’s Password has been set and enabled, the unit does not allow changing system settings, such as port settings and unit configuration, unless the correct password is keyed in thereby unlocking the Mini-Console. Unlock the Console Once the console is locked, a password will be asked when the menu item UNIT CONFIG is selected.
