2. Frame Status Indicator
A status indicator is displayed for each openGear frame detected by DashBoard and is located to
the left of the frame name. The status indicator represents the current status of the detected
devices in the openGear frame. For example, Frame 1 in Figure 4.2 indicates a red status because
three cards are reporting a red status. A
, or an arrowhead, next to a frame status indicator
signifies that the list can be expanded to display a list of devices installed in that frame.
3. Device Status Indicator
A status indicator is listed for each openGear device (card) in a frame. This icon includes the card
status, the slot in which it is installed in that frame, and the card product name. This information
is detected automatically. To view a card in the Device View, double-click the card status
indicator. Note that if the device is offline, you cannot open a tab for it in the Device View.
