General InformationI

•Viewed - this column provides a check box associated with each event. Each check box allows service personnel to mark an event as viewed (acknowledged with appropriate action taken).

•Date/Time - the date and time the event was reported to the HAFM server.

•Product - the product associated with the event. Some events are associated with the HAFM application, while others are associated with a specific instance of the product manager application. In the latter case, the switch and configured name (or IP address) associated with the instance are displayed.

•Event - the numeric event code and a brief description of the event.

Status Line

The status line provides a status indicator and message area. HAFM status symbols are explained in Table 1–3.

The HAFM application icon (upper left corner of the window) is dynamic and matches the status indicator. This feature allows users and service personnel to observe the status when the application is minimized to the Windows 2000 task bar.

The message area briefly displays messages during HAFM application startup to indicate the progress of startup activities.
