When you further filter your display, the View frame indicates the new level of granularity. For
instance, if you view the ports on a particular gateway card instead of all ports on the device, a tiered
locator appears, followed by a filter indicator. If you view only external ports on an Ethernet gateway in
slot 4, the following identifiers appear:

A.B.C.D > Chassis > Ports

Filter : Card = 4

The second identifier indicates that the display shows only the ports on Card 4.

Moving Backward

Because no formal “move backward” function exists in CM, use one of the following options to return
to a previous display:

Click the Back button on your Web browser.

Right-click the View frame and select Back from the pop-up menu.

Navigate to the desired display with the Tree frame.

NOTE: When you use the Back button of your Web browser, your browser may not cache selections
that you made for a particular view. For instance, if you view the gateway ports of a card, then click a
branch in the Tree frame, your previous display may not appear correctly when you click the Back
button.

Refreshing Views

CM lets you update most displays to reflect changes that occurred since you opened the display. To
refresh your view, click the Refresh button in your display.

Understanding Access Privileges

The functionality available to you from CM varies based on the access privileges of your username. If
you do not have read access to a particular technology, the icon and branches for that technology do not
appear in your GUI. If you do not have write access to a particular technology, the configuration options
for that technology do not appear in your GUI.

Viewing Device Status

CM provides an overview of the status of the components of your Server Switch. To view the status
summary of your device, click the IP address at the top of the Tree frame. Items that appear in green
actively function. Items that appear in gray are not active. Items that appear in red are faulty or
administratively down.
