9F241-12 Module Specific
Information
Introduction
This appendix contains local management information that is specific to the
9F241-12 MicroLAN module.
Module Interfaces
The 9F241-12 MicroLAN Module has four interfaces. Table 1 lists the indentifying
number, name, and description of each interface.
FNB Resource Configuration Codes
The 9F241-12 MicroLAN Module physically attaches to the FNB-1 and the FNB-2
on the SmartSwitch 9000 FNB backplane. By default, the module inserts into both
FNB-1 and the FNB-2. The FNB Resource Configuration Screen allows you to
customize this configuration to your particular needs.

The FNB Resource Configuration Screen allows you to:
• Select the rings (either primary or secondary) of each FNB to which the module
will attach its MAC
• Determine whether the module will insert into those rings or bypass those
rings
The terms INSERT and BYPASS refer to relays that are located on the module.
INSERT causes a relay to connect the module’s front panel ports to the selected
FNB rings. BYPASS causes a relay to disconnect the module’s front panel ports
from the selected FNB rings.

9F241-12 Module Specific Information
The FNB Resource Configuration Screen lists all possible connections a module
can support on the FNB, displays the current connection, and allows you to
change the connection. Table 2 lists and describes the FDDI connections from
which you can select.

9F241-12 Module Specific Information
Module Specific Configuration Screen
In the FNB Resource Configuration Screen, you determine which Master ports are
attached to which FNB/MAC. The default is:
• All M ports are on FNB-1 and MAC-1 is on the primary ring
• No M ports are on FNB-2, and MAC-2 is on the primary ring
Figure 1. 9F241-12 Module Specific Configuration Screen
If you have a configuration that has one or both FNBs bypassed, the PATH field
will display either MAC-1 or MAC-2.

Assigning an FNB Ring to a Module’s M-Port
To assign an FNB ring to a module’s M-port:
1. Use the arrow keys to highlight the PATH field next to the desired port.
2. Press the SPACE BAR to toggle to the desired ring (either MAC-1 or MAC-2).
3. Press the Return key. Repeat steps 1 - 3 to assign an FNB ring to other M-
ports.
4. Use the arrow keys to highlight
SAVE at the bottom of the screen and then
press the
Return key.
When the message “SAVED OK” appears, the edits you have made are saved.
If you exit without saving, the message “NOT SAVED -- PRESS SAVE TO
KEEP CHANGES” appears. If you exit without saving, your edits will be lost.
5. Use the arrow keys to highlight
RETURN and then press the Return key.
