map display status including reachability, alarm status, and EAPS status (if applicable) in addition to
the node identification information.
●
Within the map view you can rearrange the layout by dragging nodes around the display, asking
EPICenter to layout the display based on built-in algorithms, and zooming the map in or out. See
“Reorganizing the Map View” on page 459 .
●
For a large map you can move the viewport (the visible portion of the map) around using a small
pop-up navigation view where you can drag the viewport to show any portion of the larger map.
You can also reposition the viewport by clicking and holding the cursor on a background area of the
map, and then dragging the map to show the area of interest. See
“Moving the Viewport” on
page 460 for more information.
●
You can select an element (domain, device, or link) from the tables in the top panel and the Viewport
automatically zooms in and highlights the selected element(s). It also pops up a detailed status
display for the highlighted element.
●
Placing the cursor over a node opens a small window with links to obtain device status or status of
any EAPS Domains to which the device belongs. For an EAPS node, clicking on a domain link
displays detailed Domain status; right-clicking the link, or clicking the small Focus mode icon
invokes Focus mode for that EAPS domain. You can also enter Focus mode for a domain by selecting
the daemon in the Domain table at the top of the window. See
“Focus Mode” on page 461 for details
about using Focus Mode.
●
Right-clicking on a node displays a pop-up menu with a number of standard commands related to
the selected device. See
“Right-Click Pop-Up Menus” on page 38 for information about using this
device-related pop-up menu.
The EAPS Map
The EAPS map shows all the devices managed by EPICenter with respect to their EAPS implementation,
including the EAPS-related links between devices and a summary status for each device and for each
EAPS ring.
Figure 231 shows an example of the EAPS map.
NOTE
If some of the devices in an EAPS domain are missing from EPICenter’s inventory database, those devices will not
appear on the EAPS map. The EAPS domain status will correctly reflect the status of the entire domain, but it may
be difficult to troubleshoot domain operational problems that occur within nodes or links that are not shown on the
map.
It is strongly recommended that you add all the nodes in your EAPS configuration to your EPICenter inventory
database.
