PANDUIT® DPoE™ Power Patch Panel User’s Guide | Issue 2.2 |
| Part Number: PN378A |
The Tree View of the Network area provides a hierarchical display of each patch panel within the network using the configurable names assigned by the network operator. Multiple patch panels physically wired into a single rack are grouped on the screen under the configurable name of that rack. Using the computer mouse, the operator can select a specific rack, and the display will expand to show the individuals panels within that rack.
When the operator selects an individual rack, the EM automatically displays the information for each DPoE™ Power Patch Panel within that rack in the List View area (top right). Likewise, all log messages relating to that rack are automatically displayed in the Message Log area (bottom right). These messages indicate any conditions with the rack itself, the DPoE™ Power Patch Panels on that rack or individual ports on individual panels within that rack.
If the operator selects an individual panel from the Tree View of the network area, a second screen, which overlays the Message Log and List View areas, allows the operator to configure and monitor a specific DPoE™ Power Patch Panel. (See page 33, Figure 4: View Panel Screen, for more information.)
