2.6.1.2 Node View Card Shortcuts

If you move your mouse over cards in the graphic, tooltips display additional information about the card
including the card type, card status (active or standby), the number of critical, major, and minor alarms
(if any), and the alarm profile used by the card. Right-clicking a card reveals a shortcut menu, which you
can use to open, reset, or delete a card. Right-click a slot (grey) to pre-provision a card (i. e., provisi on
a slot before installing the card).

Use the node view tabs and subtabs, shown in Ta ble 2- 5, to provision and manage the ONS 15454.

Network view (Figure 2-6) allows you to view and manage ONS 15454s and ONS 15327 s that have DCC
connections to the node that you logged into and any login node groups you may have selected. (N ode s
with DCC connections to the login node will not display if you selected Exclude Dynamically
Discovered Nodes on the Login dialog box.) The graphic area displays a background image with colored
ONS 15454 icons. The icon colors indicate the node status (Tabl e 2-6). Green lines show DCC
