Device Status
The status of each device on the network is shown by use of colored icons.
Icons report the following conditions:
• Rectangular icons indicate branches on the tree — categories or types of
devices.
• Round icons indicate devices — individual devices on the tree.
• Green icons , whether branches or devices, indicate proper communica-
tion.
• Red icons , whether branches or devices, indicate functional or communi-
cation problems, either at that level in the hierarchy or a sublevel
thereof.
• Gray icons indicate devices with unknown statuses.
In the example shown in Figure 16 , a device in the Bay 2 8900 Frame has a
problem which is reflected in the top frame level. Expanding the frame will
show the point of failure. Also in the figure Fred’s Acappella frame is not
communicating (perhaps its Ethernet cable is unplugged). The screen
therefore indicates a failure for the frame, but its boards may still be passing
signals so their status is unknown.
