961.0. "Beaconing" by CSC32::B_GOODWIN () Tue May 18 1993 14:09

Does anyone know of a way to force a station to Beacon/Ring. I'm helping with 
a FDDI course and I'm doing some traces on a ring. I would like to show a 
Beaconing process, but I have yet been able to produce one. I can get a 
Claiming process with no problems by just disconnecting fiber. But according
to everything I've read, the only way to start a Beacon is to have the Claiming
process to fail or if SMT requests it. Can anyone tell me how to force SMT to
request it.

Thanks,
Brad
