NOTE: In port mirroring mode, the SERVICE port acts like a read-only port. That is, you cannot access devices (ping, connection to Control Expert, etc.) through the SERVICE port.

Description

Update

After you change Service Port parameters, press this button so that the module can use the new configuration.

Refresh

This button reads the latest Service Port configuration from the module.

On Line Behavior

The Service Port parameters are stored in the application, but you can reconfigure (change) the parameters in connected mode. Values that you reconfigure in connected mode are sent to the 140CRP31200 module through explicit messages. (The changed values are not stored, so a mismatch can exist between the parameters that are being used and those in the stored application.) If the module does not respond to the explicit messages, a message appears.

Limitations

The SERVICE port on the 140CRP31200 module has the same limitations as the cloud port of the dual-ring switch (DRS). Therefore, the cloud port on the module and the cloud port on the DRS can be connected to the same equipment.

For more information about considerations that apply to the use of the distributed I/O cloud port on the DRS, refer to the topic Predefined Configuration Files topic in the Quantum Ethernet I/O System Planning Guide.
