Entries for Control Cards
These are the columns of the table as applicable to control cards:
The ‘Online’, ‘Name’, ‘Type’ and ‘IP Address’ information displayed in this page also appears on
the ‘Network Frame Summary’ tabs viewable on most MRC pages. This illustration is from the
‘Switch Points’ page:
Column Description
Update Check the check box to select the control card listed on that row and activate fields for
updating. You must click ‘Update Settings’ at the bottom of the page to perform the
update. Merely changing a field in the table does not cause an update.
Online The state of the control card.
The word ‘Active’ means that the control card is active.
The word ‘Standby’ means that the control card is standby.
The word ‘Virtual’ means that the control card is a virtual control card.
The color of the circle in this field shows the quality of MRC’s communication with the
control card:
Green means good
Yellow means that MRC can communicate with the card, but the card is “not healthy”.
Red means there is no communication (but MRC detects the card).
Blue means that the control card is virtual.
Grey means that the control card is offline and communication with MRC has ceased.
A black lock icon indicates that the control card configuration is locked and cannot be
changed until it is unlocked.
See Locking and Unlocking Configurations on page 136.
Name A name you can assign to the router frame in which the control card is installed
Type The router model (e.g., NV8576, NV5128)
IP Address The IP address currently assigned to the control card
Subnet Mask The subnet mask currently assigned to the control card. It is recommended that you
leave the subnet mask at 255.255.255.0.
See The MRC Network on page 139 .
Gateway IP Gateways are not used unless you are placing the router on a subnet different from
the rest of your system. We recommend that you do not change gateway IP addresses
unless you consult a system administrator.
