Viewing the CO cables
Selecting Servers - COs lets you view CO cables in your system, their path, electronic ID number
(eID), their type, and the device to which they are connected.
You can also view the CO cable status. A green circle indicates that the CO cable is online. A
yellow circle indicates the CO cable is being upgraded and a red X indicates that the CO cable is
offline. To clear offline CO cables, click
Clear Offline COs and click OK when prompted. The
Clear Offline COs button is only available for LCM Appliance Administrators.
NOTE: It is not possible to clear offline CO cables that are attached to a cascaded analog switch.
NOTE: User access rights will also be updated to remove the servers associated with the cleared offline CO
cables.
The CO Language drop-down menu allows you to set language and keyboard parameters for all the
USB CO cables being used with the switch. The CO Language drop-down menu is only available
for LCM Appliance Administrators.
NOTE: The Reboot Required button will only appear if a reboot is required.

Viewing version information
The Versions category displays versions of the LCM8/LCM16 switch, FPGA (field-programmable
gate array), and ASIC firmware.
When you select the Version sub-category, the OBWI will retrieve the firmware versions from the
selected LCM8/LCM16 switch. This read-only information displays the version information for the
unit itself. The CO Versions sub-category allows you to view and upgrade all of the CO cables in
the system.
