3.10 SETTING PORT CONFIGURATIONS
Each of the RFL 9660's device ports must be set to match the interface requirements of the device connected to
it. During installation (Section 2), you listed these devices in the table in Section 12, next to the port to which
they are connected. If you have not finished filling in this table, do it now. You will need this information during
the following procedures. (Refer to the manufacturer's documentation for the device connected to each port or
the application notes in Section 15 of this manual for the information you will need to complete the table in
Section 12.)
3.10.1 ENTERING THE PORT CONFIGURATION MODE
To set port configuration, you most enter the port configuration mode. To do this, you must be logged on to
the RFL 9660 as a super-user, with the "LOCAL>" prompt on your terminal. If the "CONFIG>" prompt is
shown, you are still in the switch configuration mode; press the [Q] key to return to the "LOCAL>" prompt.
1. Press the [P] and [ENTER] keys.
The RFL 9660 will send the following prompt to your terminal:
LOCAL> Port # _
2. Enter the number of the port to be programmed, and then press the [ENTER] key.
If you enter a number that is greater than the number of ports the RFL 9660 has, the following error
message will appear:
Cannot select port > than (maximum number of ports)
If you enter a number between one and the maximum number of ports the RFL 9660 has (8, 16, 24, or
32), a port information display similar to the one shown in Figure 3-8 will appear.
If you have a printer connected to your terminal, it would be helpful to print out this
screen. You would then have a hard copy to refer to during the rest of this procedure.
