Introduction
User Interface Basics
Figure 1-1 shows SYS G expanded, revealing several folder icons: ‘System Log’, ‘Routers’, ‘Control
Panels’, and ‘Tieline Status’. Figure 1-1 shows that SYS D is not expanded. To expand the view of a
system controller, click the “+” next to the system controller’s icon. To collapse the view of a
system controller, click the “–” next to its icon.
The color of a system controller’s icon gives a rough indication of its state:
Clicking any entry in the system management pane causes a status and control page to appear
in the work area:
• Click a system controller to view a page in which you can start, stop, or restart a system con-
troller.
• Clicking a ‘System Log’ folder causes the system log page for the applicable system controller
to appear.
• Clicking a ‘Control Panels’ folder causes a control panels page for the applicable system con-
troller to appear.
• Clicking a ‘Tieline Status’ folder causes a tieline status page for the applicable system control-
ler to appear. This is a graphical representation of tielines defined in your configuration. The
diagram indicates the number of tielines between router (partitions) and the number of
tielines actually in use. A table of tieline usage data accompanies the diagram.
The ‘Routers’ entry is slightly different: it is an expandable icon. Click the “+” to expand the entry
or click the “–” to collapse the entry. When it is expanded, the entry lists the routers named in
the system controller’s configuration. See Figure 1-2, following.
