Contact Status

Contact Status is a color code that shows the status of the connection between SPMA and the device:

•Green means a valid connection.

•Blue means that SPMA is trying to reach the device but doesn’t yet know if the connection will be successful.

•Red means that SPMA has lost contact with the device.

Uptime

The time that the device has been running without interruption. The counter resets to 0 days 00:00:00 (X days HH:MM:SS) when one of the following occurs:

•Power to the device is cycled.

•The device is reset manually.

Time and Date

The date and time are taken from the device’s internal 24-hour clock, which you can set in the Bridge Status window; see The Bridge Status Window, page 6-11.

Device Name

This field displays the name you’ve assigned to this device in the Bridge Status window; see The Bridge Status Window, page 6-11.

Device Location

This field displays the location you’ve assigned to this device in the Bridge Status window; see The Bridge Status Window, page 6-11.

NOTE

If you have assigned a device name or location that contains more than 18 characters, only the first 18 will be displayed in the Bridge Traffic View. Check the Device Status window for the complete name and/or location, if necessary.

IP Address
