Port status indicators
NOTE: The display of unused CPS appliance, DS appliance and DSR switch ports, as well as SPC device
outlets may be turned off. See Viewing Ports, Outlets, Target Devices and Connected DS Users on page 52 for
more information.
Ports will normally appear as a grey icon in a DSView management software window. Configured
SPC devices will appear using the icons listed in Table 1.1.
When port status polling is enabled, the DSView management software provides visual cues to
indicate which ports and channels are in use, available, not powered or blocked, and the power state
of SPC device outlets. For example, if SPC device outlets are not powered, they will appear with a
black “X” over them when polling is enabled. See Chapter 4 for information on polling.
NOTE: Your CPS network appliance firmware must be up-to-date to view CPS appliance and SPC device poll
status indicators.
