To change the default settings on the Passport 8683POS Module or to perform any configuration tasks in Device Manager, select the port you want to configure and open the Interface tab.


Item	Description
Index	Unique value assigned to each interface. The value ranges between 16 and 255.
Name	Displays the name of this port. To assign or change a name to the port, highlight the field and enter alphanumeric characters.
Descr	Type of interface, either: OC-3c MMF or SMF OC-12c MMF or SMF
Type	Media type of this interface. This will be ppp for a port on the Passport 8683POS Module.
Mru	Size (in octets) of the largest packet that can be sent or received on the interface. For IPCP and IPXCP, the maximum is 1936. When BCP is enabled, however, the maximum is 1934. Check which NCP is enabled before configuring the Mru on a connecting device. Note: The Bridge Control Protocol (BCP) is enabled on the Passport 8683POS Module by default.
PhysAddress	MAC address assigned to a particular interface.
VendorDescr	Vendor description.
AdminStatus	Sets the port to one of the following states: up down testing When a managed system initializes, all interfaces start with AdminStatus in the down state. As a result of either management or configuration action, the AdminStatus is changed to the up state (or remains in the down state). The testing state indicates that no operational packets can be passed.
OperStatus	Operational state of the interface, one of the following: up down testing The testing state indicates that no operational packets can be passed. If AdminStatus is down, then OperStatus should be down. If AdminStatus is changed to up, then OperStatus should change to up if the interface is ready to transmit and receive network traffic. It should remain in the down state if and only if there is a fault that prevents it from going to the up state.
LastChange	Value of sysUpTime at the time the interface entered its current operational state. If the current state was entered prior to the last reinitialization of the local network management subsystem, the value is zero.
LinkTrap	Sets whether or not link Up/link Down traps should be generated for this interface. enabled--sends traps for link up or down disabled--does not send traps for link up or down
OperDuplex	Current operational duplex of the port (half or full). This will always be full duplex on a POS port.
OperSpeed	Current operating speed of the port. It can be either 155 or 622 Mb/s depending on the type of interface installed.
MltId	Multi-Link Trunk to which the port is assigned (if any).
Locked	Displays whether or not the port is locked. When locked, the port configuration cannot be changed. To lock or unlock a port, select Edit > Security > Port Lock.
Action	Sets one of the following port-related actions: none flushMacFdb--flush MAC forwarding table for port flushArp--flush ARP table for port flushIp--flush IP route table for port flushAll--flush all tables for port triggerRipUpdate--manually update the RIP table
Result	Displays results from the last system action.

From the Interface tab, select other POS-specific tabs to configure the port or change current or default configurations.
