Micro-PWC OPERATOR’S MANUAL
32 Micro-PWC Features
The system status display is organized into rows of nodes, using following rules:
1. A row contains nodes of only one type of device (e.g., Micro-PWC).
2. The rows of device types are ordered as follows, from top to bottom:
• Micro-PWC (labeled “PWC”)
• Micro-DCI Network Interface
If no nodes of a particular device type exist, subsequent rows of other devices are moved
up in the SSD (i.e., no blank rows are created).
3. A row can contain up to eight nodes. If more than eight nodes of one type exist on the network,
they are displayed on multiple, consecutive rows.
4. Within a row, nodes are ordered left-to-right according to device number; i.e., PWC1 appears
to the left of PWC2, and so on.
If more nodes exist on the network than can be shown in the normal viewing area of the SSD, scroll bars
will appear at the right and bottom sides of the display. These can be used to view the portions of the SSD
which extend beyond the normal viewing area.
If the Operator Window containing the SSD is positioned so that a node’s SSD object is near the right edge
of the screen, it may be difficult to use the menu for the node in the normal manner. To resolve this, you
can:
• Resize or move the window so that the node is not at the right edge,
- or -
• Use the bottom scroll bar to shift the contents of the window so that the node is not at the right
edge.
3.4.1 General Information for All Node Types
All SSD objects, regardless of node type, share certain features, including:

These features are discussed in the following paragraphs.
3.4.1.1 Node Name
The Node Name is displayed on the face of the button which is located below the node icon. The Node
Name is composed of a three character descriptor which indicates the device type (for example, PWC) fol-
