9.1.2. The Circuit Group Control Screen - Web Browser Interface
The Circuit Group Control Screen is used to apply A/B switching commands to all
circuits in a user-defined Circuit Group. As described in Section 5.7, Circuit Groups
allow you to define a group of circuits, dedicated to a similar purpose or client, and then
direct switching commands to the group, rather than switching one circuit at a time.
To invoke A/B switching commands, proceed as follows:
1. Access the AFS-16 Command Mode as described in Section 5.1.
2. Click on the "Circuit Group Control" link on the left hand side of the screen to
display the Circuit Group Control Screen.
Notes:
• When the Circuit Group Control Screen is displayed by an account that
permits Administrator or SuperUser command access, all user-defined Circuit
Groups will be displayed.
• When the Circuit Control Screen is displayed by an account that permits User
or ViewOnly level commands, the screen will only include the Circuit Groups
that are allowed by the account.
