Blank
= the line is blank because there is no cable connected or there is an I-
Cord connected and the far-end port is unknown.
Far End Horizontal Name (actual)
This read-only field provides name of the device that is connected to the back side of
the far-end Panel/Port. Only far end PViQ™ Connectivity Panels may be customized by
the user at this time. To edit this field, login to the Patching Page (if the far-end panel is
on another PViQ™ Connectivity System you will need to login to that system or if the far
end is on another panel in this PViQ™ Connectivity System then select the other panel
from this Patching Page) of the far-end panel. Then enter the desired name into the “NE
Horizontal (Back):” field and press the “Save” button.
The default value for this field is
far end
panel number:far end port number.
These
are two numbers separated by a “:”. The first number is the far-end panel number and
the second number is the port number on that far-end panel. Example: If the far end of
the cable is connected to port 8 on panel 3, then this value would be 3:8.
Set Security Policy Button
Setting a security policy is typically used when a new patch cord has been added. This
button will also need to be clicked if either end of an I-Cord has been disconnected and
reconnected.
When a new patch cord is added to the PViQ™ Connectivity Patch Field, a Security
Violation Alert will be created (plugging a cord into a port that is not expected to have a
cord plugged in) for each end that gets plugged in. Once both ends are plugged in and it
has been verified that both ends are connected in correct locations, click on the “Set
Security Policy” button. This will create a new security policy (set the panel’s port
expectations) for the port(s). Going forward, any changes to either end of the cord will
cause a Security Violation Alert, leading to the following events:
•
The port LEDs will light red
•
A security violation alarm will get set on the Alarm Page
•
The event will get entered in the Logs Page
•
An email alert (if email alerts are setup by the customer) will get sent to the
provisioned email address(es).
In the case of a cross-connect patch cord, if the removed end is reconnected to the
correct port:
