Port menu
To display the menu options for a port on a port card, open the Port Card view by double-clicking a
port on the port card. See ” Port Card view ” on page 61” for details about displaying and using the
port menu.
CTP Card menu
Right-click the CTP card in the Hardware view to display a menu with the following options:
• FRU Properties—Displays a FRU Properties dialog box for the CTP card. The FRU Properties
dialog box includes the FRU name, position (slot number in the backplane), state (active,
backup, or failed), part number, and serial number.
• Enable Card Beaconing—Adds a check mark to the check box and enable beaconing for the
CTP card. This causes the amber LED on the card to flash to help you locate it in the unit. Note
that you cannot enable beaconing if the card has failed.
• Switchover—Displays the Switchover CTP dialog box as shown in Figure 20 . Click Switchover to
switch operations from the active card to the backup card. When switchover occurs, the green
LED illuminates on the backup CTP card to indicate that it is active.
NOTE: You must have maintenance authorization rights to access this Switchover feature.

If you click Enable Beaconing, the amber LED beacons (blinks) on the card that was the active card
before switchover.
If a redundant card has failed, or is not installed, choosing Switchover displays an error message
explaining that two operational cards must be installed to use this feature.
SBAR Card menu
Right-click an SBAR card in the Hardware view to display a menu with the following options:
• FRU Properties—Displays a FRU Properties dialog box for the card. The FRU Properties dialog
box includes the FRU name, position (slot number in the backplane), state (active, backup, or
failed), part number, and serial number.
• Enable Card Beaconing—Adds a check mark to the check box and enable beaconing for the
SBAR card. This causes the amber LED on the card to flash to help you locate it in the unit. Note
that you cannot enable beaconing if the card has failed.
Switchover—Displays the Switchover SBAR dialog box, which is similar to the Switchover CTP
dialog box ( Figure 20 .) Click Switchover to switch operation from the active card to the backup
card. When switchover occurs, the green LED illuminates on the backup SBAR card to indicate
that it is now the active card.
