Explorer View Pane
You can dock and pin the Explorer View pane on the left side, right side, top, or bottom of the main window.
The Explorer View pane lists the objects that can be viewed, analyzed, tested, or configured by BACS. When
an item is selected in the Explorer View pane, the tabs showing the information and options that are available
for the item appear in the Context View pane.
The organization of this panel is designed to present the manageable objects in the same hierarchical manner
as drivers and its subcomponents. This simplifies the management of various elements of the converged
network interface controller. The top level of the hierarchy is the Host container, which lists all hosts managed
by BACS. Below the hosts are the installed network adapters, with the manageable elements such as physical
port, NDIS, and iSCSI below the adapters.
The icon next to each device in the Explorer View pane shows its status. An icon next to a device name that
appears normal means the device is connected and working.
• X. A red “X” that appears on the device’s icon indicates the device is currently not connected to the
network.
• Greyed out. A device icon that appears greyed out indicates the device is currently disabled.
