System Component Information
The Octaire displays system information in its splash screen for diagnostic purposes. The information
indicates the current status and well-being for five of the system’s components.
The splash screen* can be accessed using a terminal emulation program, such as HyperTerminal
(see page 26). One of four verbosity settings is specified to provide a level of detail for information on
five system components. Verbosity (i.e., wordiness) refers to the amount of information provided; the
higher the verbosity setting, the more information is displayed. Only one verbosity setting and one
component setting can be entered in a command. The order in which these two settings are entered is
interchangeable.
Note: In a multi-enclosure system, the splash screen displays information only for the
enclosure that is connected directly to the PC.
* AMX reserves the right to add to the contents of the splash screen at any time, without notice.
