Key Concepts
Frame
A frame is a modular enclosure used to house a range of processing, interface, and controller
modules. iControl can detect frames on a network, and make information about these frames
available in iControl Navigator—when Physical view is selected, iC Navigator displays all
devices, including frames. You can click the [+] symbol beside a frame’s name (or double-click
on a the name itself ) to view the contents of its slots.
Services
An iControl service is software running on the Application Server that enables it to
communicate with and control devices on the network. Some services, such as the General
Status Manager and the RMI Daemon, are available with every iControl system. Others are
