topics:
Focal Point - CPSMC1800 Cabinet View Screen
(back to top)
In the Point System
family of products, multiple cabinets may be connected together via
Inter-Cabinet Interface cables and managed by a single Point System SNMP Agent.
The Cabinet View screen shows a summary view of one such cabinet.
Many of the LED
indicators on the screen reflect the status of the actual LEDs on the
equipment. Others do not, either because these indicators change too quickly
for an SNMP management application to track in a meaningful way, or because the
indicator is not accessible by software (often the latter is a result of the
former). Hold the mouse cursor over an indicator to see its description. If the
indicator is never updated, the description will say so.
The top section of the
screen contains the following indicators and controls:
-
Serial Number - The
serial number of the cabinet itself. Each individual Slide-In device also has
its own serial number.
-
Cabinet Description -
A text description of the cabinet that is defined by you. Maximum length is
63 characters.
-
Poll Rate - See the
section on Refreshing the Cabinet View Screen
below.
-
Device Model Number -
The exact model number of this device. When contacting Technical Support,
please be sure to give this number rather than the less specific Catalog
number.
-
Power Supply One/Two -
See the section on Making Configuration Changes - The
Details Screen below.
-
Unwrap/Wrap - Switches
the formatting of the screen between two rows of slots (which fits on a
1024x768 resolution screen) and a single row of slots (which looks more like
the actual product).
-
Help - displays this
screen.
Below these is a picture
of the cabinet showing the slots and the faces of the devices plugged into
them. In addition to depictions of the lamps found on the faces of these
devices, there are three indicators which can appear on each device:
-
ALERT - This means
that there may be a problem with this device, such as "link down." You can
left-click on the device to find out more.
-
EDIT - This means that
this device is selected to receive configuration changes made on Details
screens (described below). Note that there may be other selected devices that
are not shown because they appear on other Cabinet View screens. For more
information on how devices can be selected, see help for Configuration Management.
-
SLOT POWER OFF - This
slot has been disabled. It may or may not have a device plugged in to it --
since the power is off, the Management Module cannot tell. You can change the
status of a slot by right-clicking on it and then clicking the "Power ON/OFF
this slot" button.
Refreshing the screen
(back to top)
By clicking the Refresh
button, you can cause the Cabinet View screen to show any recent changes in LED
indicators or Slide-in Devices.
Automatic updates are
also performed at the interval shown (in seconds) in the "Poll Rate" box. To
change the rate, type a new value (between 1 and 600 seconds) into the box and
press Enter. Pick the slowest Poll Rate value that gives you the information
you need, since more frequent updates place a greater load on your computer and
your network.
Making Configuration Changes - The Details Screen
(back to
top)
Most Point System
Slide-in Devices have detailed status information that can be viewed, and
configuration options that can be changed. These capabilities are found on the
Details screen for the Device.
From the Cabinet View
screen, left-click on the image of an individual Slide-in Device in order to
open its Details screen. To open the details screen for a power supply, click
on the "Power Supply" buttons at the top of the screen. "Power Supply One" is
on the left when viewing the cabinet from the rear.
For more information on
making configuration changes, see help for Configuration
Management.
