unblocked through the Configure Ports dialog box. Refer to Configure Ports on
page 3–10 for instructions.
• 10-100 km Configuration — Extended distance buffering. This can be enabled or
disabled for the port through the Configure Ports dialog box. Refer to Configure
Ports on page 3–10 for instructions.
• LIN Alerts Configuration — This field indicates whether LIN alerts are enabled
or disabled. LIN alerts can be configured through the Configure Ports dialog box.

E_Port is segmented, two fabrics are prevented from joining. This only occurs
when the Switch is connected to another Switch. Reasons and probable causes are
listed under Reason Field Messages below.
• Threshold Alert — If a threshold alert exists for the port, an alert indicator
(yellow triangle) displays by the Threshold Alert field, and the configured name
for the last alert received displays in the field.

The following messages display in the Reason field of the Port Properties dialog box
if an Invalid Attachment, Segmented E_Port, or Inactive state occurs for the port.
Invalid Attachment Messages:
• 01 Unknown — Invalid attachment reason cannot be determined.
