F3- Display Information

To display information about a selected port, pressing the <

F3

> key from within the Command Mode main menu will cause a

window to open. The window will show the name of the port and its position in the system structure, level by level. This is most
useful when cascading switches (for Cascading see page 33). An example of this structure might be

LEVEL 1 : PORT 5
LEVEL 2 : PORT 3

This means that the CPU connected through this port is actually connected through Port 5 of the master switch (Level 1), and
through port 3 of the slave connected to port 5 (Level 2). See Figure 27 below.
