Status Presentation
The next five figures illustrate the concepts of status reporting and presentation. The
first, Figure 5-8, shows an overview of the scheme used to present network status. A
single operator terminal is shown, along with the three status screens.
The Network Status Summary screen displays 16 lines of status information, one item
per line, as reported by the subsystems.
The Status Configuration screen allows you to specify an update interval for updating
the information displayed by the Network Status Summary screen. This value (in
seconds) is retained and used by the ViewPoint TCP in requesting status from
subsystems.
The Status Item Configuration screen enables you to create and modify status
configuration files. You can choose to have several such files, providing you with a
means to quickly select different kinds of status displays. You make the selection of a
status configuration file on the Profile screen.
You use the Status Item Configuration screen to configure one item at a time. The order
of configuration items in your file determines the order of items displayed on the
Network Status Summary screen. Each set of 16 items (which can include label lines
and blank lines) in your file constitutes a page of items.
