Basic Configuration
5.7.The Circuit Group Directory
The Circuit Group Directory allows you to designate "groups" of circuits that are dedicated to a similar function, and will most likely be switched at the same time.
Circuit Groups allow you to direct A/B switching commands to a series of circuits, without addressing each circuit individually. For example, a set selection of AFS circuits could be assigned to a circuit group named, "Servers". This would allow you to quickly switch all circuits in the group, by either including the "Servers" Circuit Group name in a /T command line via the Text Interface, or by using the Circuit Group Control menu via the Web Browser Interface.
The Circuit Group Directory function is only available when you have logged into command mode using an account that permits Administrator commands. In both the Text Interface and the Web Browser Interface, the Circuit Group Directory menu offers the following functions:
•View Circuit Group Directory: Displays currently defined Circuit Module access rights for any
•Add Circuit Group to Directory: Creates new Circuit Groups, and allows you to assign circuit access rights to each group as described in Section 5.7.2.
•Modify Circuit Group Directory: This option is used to edit or change circuit access rights for each Circuit Group, as described in Section 5.7.3.
•Delete Circuit Group from Directory: Clears Circuit Groups that are no longer needed, as described in Section 5.7.4.
5.7.1.Viewing Circuit Groups
The "View Circuit Group Directory" option allows you to view the configuration of each Circuit Group. Note that the View Circuit Group Directory function is only available when you have accessed command mode using a password that permits Administrator Level commands.
