Add Device FDDI

FDDI is defined as a token-passing protocol. Each station has the chance to transmit data when a token passes. A station can decide how many frames it will transmit using an algorithm that permits bandwidth allocation.

FDDI also allows a station to transmit many frames without releasing the token in a way that is similar to the IEEE 802.5 token-ring standard.

An FDDI ring network consists of a set of stations/devices connected as a serial string of stations/devices and transmission media to form a physically closed loop. Information is transmitted sequentially as a stream of suitably encoded signals from one active station/device to the next active one.

Each station/device generally regenerates and repeats each token and can serve as the means of attaching one or more stations/devices to the network.

Set Link Error Rate Class A Alarm

This option sets the Class A device Link Error Rate (LER) alarm value.

Select the Submit button.


Set Link Error Rate Class A Cutoff

This option sets the Class A device Link Error Rate (LER) cutoff value.

Select the Submit button.


Set Link Error Rate Class B Alarm

This option sets the Class B device Link Error Rate (LER) alarm value.

Select the Submit button.


Set Link Error Rate Class B Cutoff

This option sets the Class B device Link Error Rate (LER) cutoff value.

Select the Submit button.


FDDI Set PMF

This option sets the PMF password.

Select the Submit button.


FDDI Set Maximum Token Rotation Time

This option sets the maximum token rotation time in milliseconds.

Select the Submit button.


FDDI Set Minimum Token Rotation Time

This option sets the minimum token rotation time in milliseconds. If the negotiated target token rotation time is less than this value, the FDDI adapter will not provide proper service to the layers above it.

Select the Submit button.


FDDI Set Requested Token Rotation Time

This option sets the requested target token rotation time in milliseconds that this station will bid during intiialization.

Select the Submit button.


FDDI Set Valid Transmission Timer

This option sets the Valid transmission timer expiration in microseconds. This timer is reset every time a valid frame or nonrestricted token is seen by the station.

Timer expiration indicates that traffic is not circulating properly on the ring and the claim process is started.

Select the Submit button.


FDDI Set User Data

This option sets user data.

Select the Submit button.


IPX Frame FDDI

This option sets FDDI as the frame encapsulation type for this interface.

Select the Submit button.


IPX Frame FDDI_SNAP

This option sets FDDI_SNAP as the frame encapsulation type for this interface.

Select the Submit button.
