If you have the DB View feature installed, saving a layout also saves any open custom folders and
the set of open Tree Views is saved but the contents of each view is independent of the layout.
Status Indicators
The color of the status indicator beside each openGear frame name, device, custom folders and
subfolders indicates the status as follows:
• Green — This color indicates that the device is running correctly and communicating
with the frame.
• Orange — This color indicates that the Network Controller Card for that frame can only
support a limited number of connections and that maximum has been reached. You can
select the Force Connect option, after right-clicking on the frame status indicator, to
establish a connection between the frame and your DashBoard workstation. However,
doing so will disconnect another connection to the same Network Controller card.
• Yellow — This color indicates a minor problem with the device.
• Red — This color indicates that the device is offline or has a significant error condition.
For example, there is no input or reference signal from the card.
• Gray — This color indicates an offline frame in the DB View. If the DB View feature is
enabled, a gray status beside a device in a custom folder indicates that a different device
is now installed in the slot. The offline status is also reflected in the Device Tab of any
open devices for that frame.
Note — The Frame Status Indicator, the Custom Folders, and the subfolders
reflect the most negative status of any detected devices. For example, in Figure 4.1
the Keyers folder in the Custom Folders displays a red status indicator because at
least one of the cards is reporting an error.
