The ATX Switch Chassis View
Front Panel Information
The areas below the main module display area provides the following device
information:
IP
The Internet Protocol address assigned to the ATX appears in the title bar of the
Chassis View window; this field will display the IP address you have used to
create the ATX icon. IP addresses are assigned via Local Management.
Connection Status
This color-coded area indicates the current state of communication between
NetSight Element Manager and the ATX.
•
Green indicates the ATX Switch is responding to device polls (valid
connection).
•
Magenta indicates that the ATX Switch is in a temporary stand-by mode while
it responds to a physical change in the hub (a board is inserted or removed or
a board’s connection has been reconfigured); note that board and port menus
are inactive during this stand-by state.
•
Blue indicates an unknown contact status – polling has not yet been
established with the ATX Switch.
•
Red indicates the ATX Switch is not responding to device polls (device is off
line, or device polling has failed across the network for some other reason).
UpTime
The amount of time, in a day(s) hh:mm:ss format, that the ATX has been running
since the last start-up.
Port Status
If management for your device supports a variable port display (detailed in
), this field will show the display currently in effect. If
only a single port display is available — or if the default view is in effect — this
field will state Default.
MAC
Displays the physical-layer address associated with the IP address used to create
the device icon. MAC addresses are factory-set and cannot be altered.
TIP
When you move the mouse cursor over a management “hot spot” the cursor icon will
change into a “hand” (
) to indicate that clicking in the current location will bring up a
management option.
