Screen Lockout Time (Modifiable)

Contains the maximum number of minutes that the Local Management 
application displays a module’s screen while awaiting input or action 
from a user. For example, if the number 5 is entered in this field, the user 
has up to five minutes to respond to each of the specified module’s Local 
Management screens. In this example, after five minutes of “idleness” (no 
input or action), the terminal “beeps” five times, the Local Management 
application terminates the session, and the display returns to the Password 
screen. To enter a new lockout time, refer to 

Chassis Uptime (Read-Only)

Displays the total time the chassis has been operating. The chassis uptime 
is based on which interface module installed in the chassis has been 
operating for the longest period of time.

Operational Mode (Toggle)

This field allows the user to set all the modules in the chassis to operate as 
traditional switches (802.1D SWITCHING option), or as IEEE 802.1Q 
switches (802.1Q SWITCHING option).

In 802.1D SWITCHING mode, the six ports located on the front panel 
and each optional Fast Ethernet Interface Module are bridged to each 
other.

When the operational mode is set to 802.1Q SWITCHING, the 
6H12X-08 acts as an IEEE 802.1Q switch. The modules are able to 
increase their switching functionality by creating and maintaining port 
based Virtual LANs (VLANs).

This field will display the existing status of the chassis the first time the 
screen displays. If modules in the chassis are set to different operational 
modes, then the first time this field displays, it will display “MIXED 
MODE”. Once the user has entered the field using the arrow keys, it will 
then display only the operational mode choices available.
