Configuring Port Addresses
5-19
Configuring the Switch
All port addresses for the switch are listed across the top of the 
matrix to the right of the first three columns. The addresses are 
also listed down the left side of the dialog box. If a cell (square) in 
the matrix contains a red circle-and-line symbol (shown in several 
cells in Figure 5-9), connection is prohibited between the two 
addresses whose row and column intersect at that cell. 
In Figure 5-9, for example, port address 07 is prohibited from 
communicating with port address 05. Also, Port OC is prohibited 
from communicating with all other port addresses.
Moving the cursor over the cells in the array displays the corresponding 
address. 
2. Configure the parameters as described under Address Parameters 
on page 5-20.
3. When everything is configured the way you want, click Save As 
at the bottom of the Configure Addresses dialog box. This 
displays the dialog box in Figure 5-10.
