Introduction to iControl
iC Navigator

iC Navigator presents devices and services in a hierarchical view. The tree-like structure lists all
recognized devices and services along with descriptions, including name, type, associated
comments, configuration status, frame and slot number.

iC Navigator lets users display device-specific control
windows. Icons at the top of the control window provide a
quick status indicator of key parameters. Color-coding
enables operators working locally or remotely to quickly
identify the operating status of a device or service. From
iC Navigator, they can also display a configuration log
panel for each device or service, which highlights error
conditions.
iC Navigator also provides access to a Log Viewer (via the
General Status Manager (GSM)—see below), which
displays up to 100,000 of the most recent messages.
iC Navigator leverages industry standard SNMP protocols, and can fully integrate third party
control applications to create a complete facility-monitoring environment. With automated
reactions to failures, and guided operator responses, the system can deliver dramatically
reduced down times.
Note: Displaying more than 10,000 messages in the Log Viewer may require system
adjustments to maintain acceptable performance levels.
