The ATX Switch Chassis View

When you move the mouse cursor over a management “hot spot” the cursor icon will

TIP change into a “hand” ( ) to indicate that clicking in the current location will bring up a management option.

Front Panel Information

The areas below the main module display area provides the following device information:

IP

The Internet Protocol address assigned to the ATX appears in the title bar of the Chassis View window; this field will display the IP address you have used to create the ATX icon. IP addresses are assigned via Local Management.

Connection Status

This color-coded area indicates the current state of communication between

NetSight Element Manager and the ATX.

•Green indicates the ATX Switch is responding to device polls (valid connection).

•Magenta indicates that the ATX Switch is in a temporary stand-by mode while it responds to a physical change in the hub (a board is inserted or removed or a board’s connection has been reconfigured); note that board and port menus are inactive during this stand-by state.

•Blue indicates an unknown contact status – polling has not yet been established with the ATX Switch.

•Red indicates the ATX Switch is not responding to device polls (device is off line, or device polling has failed across the network for some other reason).

UpTime

The amount of time, in a day(s) hh:mm:ss format, that the ATX has been running since the last start-up.

Port Status

If management for your device supports a variable port display (detailed in Port Status Displays, page 2-7), this field will show the display currently in effect. If only a single port display is available — or if the default view is in effect — this field will state Default.

MAC

Displays the physical-layer address associated with the IP address used to create the device icon. MAC addresses are factory-set and cannot be altered.
