The Chassis Backplane View
By default, the Device View window displays the Logical View of the 6C105/6C107
Chassis and an installed SmartSwitch 6000 or Matrix E7 module. The Logical View
provides port status information and access to device-, module-, and port-level menus, as
described above. In addition to the default Logical View, the View menu available via the
menu bar at the top of the Device View window allows you to display views of the
chassis’ backplane:
• The Chassis Backplane View indicates the five (for the 6C105) or seven (for the
6C107) point-to-point backplane connections between the monitored SmartSwitch
6000 or Matrix E7 module and other modules in the chassis. The Backplane View also
lets you disable those backplane connections.
The Chassis Backplane View
The Chassis Backplane View, Figure 2-4 , indicates the operational status of the five
point-to-point backplane connections between the monitored SmartSwitch 6000 or Matrix
E7 module and other modules in the chassis slots. It also lets you enable or disable the
backplane connections to other modules in the chassis.
To access the Chassis Backplane View:
1. In the Device View, click on View in the menu bar to access the View menu.
2. Click on BackPlane Config. The Chassis Backplane View, Figure 2-4 , will
appear.
