Selecting Modules
You can select router modules in the ‘List of Modules’ section by clicking a row in that section.
Selected rows (modules) are a darker green. Unselected rows are either white or light green.

highlight the module in the drawing and (2) to display status for the selected module.
You can also click any module in the drawing to select it. When you do so, the module is high-

the input list.

modules.
The page does not provide information for control cards or power supply modules. You can use the
‘System Status’ to view the status of a control card or the router’s power supplies.
Troubleshooting Module Status Errors
The ‘Status’ column in the list of modules provides instant module status: a green circle means

window, which lists error details whenever (1) a card is removed from the router frame, (2) a card
