Ports
Select this option to display the Configure Ports dialog box. This dialog box has
different functions in S/390 versus open systems mode.
In S/390 mode, use the dialog box to enable extended distance buffering for 10 to
100 km, link incident (LIN) alerts, and port binding for each port.
In open systems mode, for each port you can provide a name, block or unblock
operation, configure extended distance buffering for 10 to 100 km, enable LIN
alerts for each port, define a type (G, F, and E), and enable port binding.
NOTE: Ports are automatically configured as G_Ports if no device is connected, F_Ports if a
device is connected, and E_Ports if a switch is connected.
In both modes, you can also enable the rerouting delay feature.
