NOTE: Connections of EVR1500 environmental monitors and generic appliances may not be viewed.

Connection display format

Connections typically appear in a format similar to the following for connections to target devices,

cascade switches and power devices:

<Managed appliance name>(<Port>) → <EID Number> → switch one

The following examples illustrate typical connections that may appear in your DSView 3 software.

Example: Target device connections

In the following example, there are three target devices connected to ports 3, 4 and 8 of a DSR1021

switch named dsr-1021-huntsville. The DSR1021 switch ports are connected to the three target

devices using IQ modules. The IQ module with an EID of 520255-044F6F is connected to target

device td-john, while 520255-03F757 is connected to td-mary and 520255-016BE0 is connected

to td-tim.

dsr-1021-huntsville(3)→520255-044F6F→td-john

dsr-1021-huntsville(4)→520255-03F757→td-mary

dsr-1021-huntsville(8)→520255-016BE0→td-tim

Example: Cascade switch connection

In the following example, an AutoView 200 1 x 8 switch is connected to port one of a DSR1021

switch named dsr-1021-huntsville, using an IQ module with an EID of 520255-023FB7. Each port

of the AutoView 200 switch is connected to a different target device (520255-023FB701

through 520255-023FB708).
