Device View

What is in this Chapter

This chapter provides a description of the Device Views for the FDM 
Management Module. The Device Views allow you to view either a physical or 
a chassis (logical) representation of the FDM bridging and FDC concentrator 
modules installed in the MMAC-FNB chassis. The Device Views also provide 
you with menu bar access to the views that monitor and control the FDM and 
FDC modules and ports.

• The Chassis Device View allows you to view the logical representations of 

the modules. From this view, you can access performance, configuration, 
and status information about the modules and ports.

• The Physical Device View displays a physical representation of the 

modules installed in the MMAC-FNB chassis.

These Device Views show the FDM’s configuration. When the port or 
application status is modified, the display reflects those changes after the 
model’s next polling cycle. When a module is added or removed from the 
chassis, SPECTRUM displays those changes when a model reconfiguration 
occurs.

Chassis Device View

The Chassis Device View gives a logical representation of the modules in the 
chassis, and the current configuration. If the configuration changes, you see 
the corresponding change within this view. This change in the view occurs 
after the model’s next polling cycle, which is determined by the time interval 
assigned to the Configuration Timer. Figure 3-2 shows an example of an FDM 
Chassis Device View.
