Connect the System Gang cables (optional)
This optional cable connection is applicable to system gang switching and remote system
gang switching. Both of these switching functions will switch simultaneously all the
chassis in a system, from the initiating chassis downward to daisy chained chassis.
1.
Connect RJ11 cables from the GANG OUT port on one Advanced Control Card
to the GANG IN port on the next Advanced Control Card.
2.
Repeat this procedure in daisy chain fashion for all chassis.
7.3 Status Window
The Web browser interface allows the user to view the status of the chassis, perform switch
operations and enter names for the chassis and ports.
The chassis status window is the initial home screen of the web browser that shows the status
of the target chassis. The rack displays the current channel configuration. For convenience,
this screen will automatically refresh on a 30 second interval to update the rack status.
To START the Web browser interface:
1.
Start the web browser.
2.
Enter the IP address of the target chassis in the address field and press Enter. The Status
screen for the chassis appears which shows a real time view of the switch positions on the
front panel.
