Micro-PWC CONFIGURATION GUIDE
260 System Status Display
2. The rows of device types are ordered as follows, from top to bottom:
• Micro-PWC consoles
• Micro-PWC communications programs
3. A row can contain up to eight nodes. If more than eight nodes of one type exist on the network,
they are displayed on multiple, consecutive rows.
4. Within a row, nodes are ordered left-to-right according to device number; e.g., CON1 appears
left of CON2, and so on.
8.2 General Information for All Node Types
All SSD objects, regardless of node type, share certain features, including:
• Node Name
• Network Connection Information
• Info Menu
These features are discussed in the following paragraphs.
8.2.1 Node Name
The Node Name is displayed on the face of the button which is located below the schematic illustration of
the node (the Node Icon). The Node Name is composed of a three-character descriptor which indicates the
device type, followed by the device number (e.g., CON2). The color of the node name indicates the net-
work status of the node, as follows:
8.2.2 Info Menu
Click on the button containing the Node Name to display the menu for a node. The pull-down menu for
each node contains a button labelled Info. Click this button to access a menu titled Info Menu. This Info
Menu contains, at the minimum, the following two entries:
• Network Info
✎ Note
If no nodes of a particular device type exist, subsequent rows of
other devices are moved up in the SSD (i.e., no blank rows are
created).
Cyan Indicates that the node is the “local” Micro-PWC node. The Node Icon of the
local Micro-PWC node is also displayed in cyan.
The local node is also indicated by an asterisk (
∗) following the node name.
White Indicates the node is on the network. The node can be accessed by the local
Micro-PWC.
Black (Text and Node
Icon) on
Red (Button Color) Indicates that the node is not currently on the network. The node can no
longer be accessed from the local Micro-PWC. (However, the node was
accessible at some point in time following the most recent restart of the local
Micro-PWC. If the node is still inaccessible at the time of the next local
Micro-PWC restart, it will be removed entirely from the SSD.) The pull-down
menu of the node cannot be used in this state. The Node Icon and the Node
Name are displayed in black.
In this case the Node Name is also enclosed in parentheses.
