•
Alarm Configuration
allows you to set the LER Alarm and LER Cutoff
thresholds for the FDDI interfaces installed in the SmartSwitch hub.
•
SMT/MAC Configuration
lets you see information about the configuration of
your FDDI modules’ Station Management (SMT) entities, the operating state
of the ring to which each is connected, the physical state of the PHY A and B
front panel ports, and parameters related to ring initialization.

•
SMT Connection Polic
y lets you determine which types of connections will
be permitted among the four FDDI port types: A, B, M (Master), and S (Slave).
•
The Station List application allows you to view a list of all stations on the
FDDI ring to which each FDDI interface is connected, along with some general
