The Ready Screen
When no activities are being performed at the rack, the iPatch Manager display
shows the Ready screen. From this screen you can view the menu, job queue,
alarms list, and any critical alarms.
The first line of the display shows the number of the rack where the iPatch Manager
is mounted, as shown in Figure 1–2.
If the iPatch equipment in the equipment room is able to communicate with the
System Manager Software,
appears on the Ready screen. See Figure 1–2.
The Menu softkey always appears on the Ready screen. For more information
about the Menu structure, see “The Menu” on page 1–5.
The other softkey options appear only if there are related activities waiting to be
performed at the rack. For example, if there are jobs in the job queue, the Jobs
softkey is available and the Jobs LED is turned on. For more information about
jobs, see Chapter 3 “Performing Patching Activities”.
The system generates alarms, which indicate problems with the equipment. If an
alarm has been generated by equipment on a rack, the Alarms softkey appears on
that rack’s iPatch Manager display and the Alarms LED is turned on. If the alarm
indicates that patching activities cannot be properly monitored at the rack, the
alarm text also appears on the Ready screen. The following alarms appear on the
Ready screen:
Panels Need To Be Ordered
No Panels Found
iPatch Manager Needs To Be Replaced.
