Chapter 6. Port Access
Outlets that are On have their icons in Amber; the icons are Gray for outlets that are Off.
To access and operate a port, double click its icon. Port operation details are discussed in Chapter 12, Port Operation.
Note: 1. In the Browser version, you can open as many port viewers as there are ports, but the number of ports that you see depends on the number of buses that the switch supports. For example, if the switch supports 4 buses, the 5th viewer displays the same port as the 1st viewer; the 6th viewer displays the same screen as the 2nd viewer, etc.
In the AP GUI version you can only access one port at a time. To see two different ports, you would have to log in two separate times.
2.If the CC Management function is enabled (see page 158), PON devices and Blade Servers do not appear in the Sidebar, even if they are configured on the switch. This is because they are managed via the CC server.
