Using NetConfig
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 communication 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. 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.

Copy Function
Use the Copy function in the context menu shown in Figure 16 to copy a device and paste it to the Facility View.
Identifying A Device
You can also identify a device on the network using the context menu opened by right clicking on a device. Clicking on Identify Device (Figure 16 on page 21) will blink board LEDs or control panel buttons of that device for a defined period of time (see Device Identification on page 38). This can be very helpful when multiple devices reside in the same equipment rack, and at large facilities where devices may reside at different locations.
Device Properties
Right-clicking on any device in a view will also allow you to select Properties from the context menu to bring up a Device Properties screen similar to the one for an 8960ENC modular module shown in Figure 17. Information for the device such as its location, IP Address, description, part number, software version, serial number and other information is reported. The Asset Tag and Location fields can be updated or assigned with the Inventory function in NetConfig. Refer to Inventory Function on page 27 for more information.
