Using the 7C0x SmartSwitch Hub View

Hub View Front Panel

In addition to the graphical display of the modules installed in your 7C0x SmartSwitch chassis, the Hub View gives you device level summary information. The following Front Panel information appears to the right of the module display:

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 is unable to contact or has lost contact with the device.

Uptime

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

•Power to the device is cycled.

•The device is reset manually.

Device Name

A text field that you can use to help identify the device; you can assign a device name via the MIB I, II application (described in the SPMA Tools Guide). To view a name which is longer than the field, click to place your cursor in the text box, and use the arrow keys to shift the display.

Device Location

A text field that you can use to help identify the device; you can assign a device location via the MIB I, II application (described in the SPMA Tools Guide). To view a location which is longer than the field, click to place your cursor in the text box, and use the arrow keys to shift the display.

NOTE

Although you can erase the current name and location and enter new values in the text fields, you cannot set these values from the Hub View. Any value you attempt to set will remain in the text field only until the Hub View is closed; to permanently change the name or location, you must do so via the MIB I, II application.

IP Address

The device’s Internet Protocol address; this field will display the IP address you have used to create the 7C0x SmartSwitch icon (if you are running the Hub View from a management platform) or the IP address you used to launch the Hub View program (if you are running in stand-alone mode). You cannot change the 7C0x SmartSwitch’s IP address from SPMA.
