6.2.3.2.1 Virtual Front Panel
The top of every page in the CDD-880 HTTP Interface features a read-only ‘ Virtual Front Panel ’
(VFP). This feature emulates the CDD-880 front panel real-time LED operation. It also displays
the currently running Firmware Version; the current Working Mode (Router or BPM); and the
operational state of the CDD-880 – “Active” or “Inactive”:
• “Active” indicates to you that the page as displayed is “live” and up-to-date;
• ”Inactive” indicates to you either that the page, as displayed, is “stale” and is not updating,
or that the unit is in a transitional state (e.g., a reboot is in process).
The virtual LEDs provide ‘heads-up’ operational status indicators that react to any changes made
to unit operation, and convey operational states. To ensure that your web browser correctly
displays the LED feature, Comtech EF Data recommends that you do these steps (this example
uses Microsoft Internet Explorer):
