¥ NO EXT CLOCK (blue) Ñ Indicates that the remote port is not receiving a
clock signal from the DCE.
Interface Name
This settable information Þeld allows you to enter a name for the bridgeÕs active
local port and its remote port. The default name for the bridgeÕs two network
interfaces are ETHERNET PORT and REMOTE PORT, respectively. To assign a
new name to an interface:
1. Click on the I-bar cursor ( ) to the right of the Interface Name field. The
Bridge Port Name text box will appear.
2. Type in the new interface name in the text box (up to 14 characters), then click
on OK.
The assigned name will appear in the Bridge Interface Name information Þeld.
Interface Type
Indicates the interface type which applies to each NB-30 bridging port interface.
Possible types are 802.3 SPI (SPIM) for the local Ethernet port and RS449 (Remote
Interface Card supporting RS449/422 communications),V.35 (Remote Interface
Card supporting V.35 communications), DSX1/D4 (superframe format for T1
link), DSX1/ESF (extended superframe format for T1 link).
Bridge Port Address — Local Ethernet Port

physical address is available for the remote port.
Segment Name
This settable information Þeld allows you to enter a name for each segment
