Front-Panel Images
You can manage the switch from a remote station by using the front-panel images. The front-panel
images are updated based on the network polling interval that you set from CMS > Preferences.
This section includes descriptions of the LED images. Similar descriptions of the switch LEDs are
provided in the switch hardware installation guide.
Note
The Preferences window is not available if your switch access level is read-only. For more information
about the read-only access mode, see the
“Access Modes in CMS” section on page 2-33
.
