2.6 System Notifications
2.6.1 Message "NOT CONNECTED"
If the ESC key is pressed in the SELECT menu before a target is selected, the
message NOT CONNECTED is displayed.
Example:
CON 02234100 (Console name, editable)
Not connected
To return to the SELECT menu, access it again using the key combination
CTRL + NUM .
2.6.2 Message „No free route to target“
In a casdaded system (e. g. 1 x CATCenter-Master and 1 x CATCenter-Slave)
and depending on your personal target access rights, you can access targets
wich are connected at a CATCenter-Slave from a CATCenterX8-Master (See
Cascading
Chapter 2.5 of the Installation Manual CATCenter ).
The CATCenter-Slave doesn´t has to be necessarily a CATCenter X8. A
CATCenter X2 and CATCenter X4 can also act as a slave device.
Information about the cascading:
The master device (e.g. a CATCenter X8) has a total of 32 CPU ports available
for cascading. Assuming that 8 consoles are connected to the master device
and all of them are to access all targets, then one CPU port has to be used for
cascading every console connection. Therefore, 8 CPU ports have to be used
on the master device so that all 8 consoles can continue to access all
connected targets.
If, on the other hand, you only have one console then you only have to use one
CPU port on the master; this is identical to the method described above.
In general, the following applies: For every console access
implemented on the slave, the same number of CPU ports must be
available on the master!
However, if fewer console access (e. g. only for console access connections) is
realized at the CATCenter-Slave as consoles are connected to the CATCenter-
Master (in this example 8 consoles), only four consoles of the master device
can access the targets connected to the slave.
When four consoles are accessing the targets connected at the slave, and
during this process an fifth console is tryind to access one of the targets
connected at the slave following message appears on the screen of this
console:
