6.8 System Status Analysis & Example Screens
The EXB Network Management Software program tries to analyze the system to
the best of its ability. It presents its best guess as to what is wrong in the system.
When a Main EXB notices a change in state of its Standby EXB, it will notify the
program. The program will start an analysis on that EXB channel.
It will try to communicate to all EXB units first in the forward direction
(Clockwise -- the Probe direction as shown in Figure 3).
It will then try to communicate to all EXB units first in the reverse direction
(Counter-Clockwise -- the Holdoff direction as shown in Figure 3).
It can take about 5-10 seconds to analyze a failed EXB channel.
Based upon the responses, the program will then determine what the most likely
failure is. Do not take its recommendations as absolute truth. Sometimes there
are other failures that can result in the same display. The program is presenting
the most likely problem. Some alternate problems are shown in the following
status displays.

When everything is normal, all status fields are Green (or the Normal color you
have defined).
