54 CHAPTER 4: USING THE CENTRAL CONFIGURATION MANAGER You can change the Alert Level if you want to be notified of specific events happening with the IntelliJack. Each level above 0 provides different types of event alerts as described below: Alert Level Level 0: Disable all alert messages Level 1: Allow critical alerts Level 2: Allow standard alerts Level 3: Allow all alerts Notifying Event None Device Power Failure/Reboot Abnormal Reboot IP Address Change Device Power Failure/Reboot Abnormal Reboot IP Address Change Unauthorized Access Device Power Failure/Reboot Abnormal Reboot IP Address Change Unauthorized Access Normal Reboot NBX phone plugged in NBX phone removed Port Based Controls 35 For the next three settings, first select the port you want to configure. 36 You can turn on Flow Control for a specific port. Setting Flow Control to Off (the default setting) allows full passage of traffic regardless of how quickly it is processed by the IntelliJack. You may want to turn Flow Control On if you discover that large amounts of traffic are being sent to the IntelliJack and it is dropping Ethernet packets. The Flow Control sends a message to the upstream switch the IntelliJack is connected to, telling it to slow down the rate at which it forwards traffic. This will slow down the network. 37 The IntelliJack has the ability to configure AutoMDI[X]. Manual MDI configuration (the default value) assumes that the patch cords between the IntelliJack's PAN port and the device it's plugged into are straight-through cables (not cross-over cables). If you use cross-over cables to connect devices to your network, you would need to set this option to Manual MDIX Configuration so that network traffic can pass between the device and the PAN port of the IntelliJack. 38 You may want change the Data Rate Control options. The default settings allow all types of traffic to pass through the IntelliJack at full bandwidth. You can change the frame limitations to slow down or block particular types of traffic. For example, you may want to allow unicast traffic to pass at full bandwidth but restrict broadcast traffic because you are concerned about a type of virus that triggers broadcast storms. With the Data Rate Control, you can configure the IntelliJack to only allow unicast traffic to pass.
