Chassis / Show Status

This dialog displays the online status of the selected chassis.

Online since displays the date and time when the selected RemotaSilo
chassis was first recognized by the host monitoring software.

Offline displays the number of times that the Master RemotaSilo
chassis has failed to respond to a Host command. (If the RemotaSilo is
a Slave chassis, the display will read “n/a”).

Chassis / Change ID

This dialog allows the user to change the assigned Chassis ID number
of the selected RemotaSilo chassis.

A new RemotaSilo Chassis ID can be selected from the available
values shown on the New Chassis ID pull-down menu within the

Change Chassis ID dialog.

Click OK to enter the change of the chassis ID.

Click Cancel to discard the chassis ID change.

After a RemotaSilo Chassis ID has been changed, the chassis will reset
and report to the Host with a new ID. When a RemotaSilo chassis
changes its chassis ID, the Host will

consider it as a new chassis.

The time required for the RemotaSilo chassis to reset and report back
displaying the newly selected chassis ID varies from 5 to 15 seconds.
