PVIQ™ CONNECTIVITY SYSTEM USER MANUAL V 1.0
42
Port Status (expected)
This is the expected port status. If a cross-connect of interconnect cable is expected this
field will be “Both Connected”. If no cable is connected this field will be “<No Cable
Connected>”.
FE Horizontal Name (expected)
This field is the name of the device that is connected to the back side of the far-end
Panel/Port. Only far-end PViQ™ Connectivity Panels connected to the same Panel
Manager may be displayed to the user at this time. To edit this field, go to the
Patching
Page
of the far-end panel. Then enter the desired name into the
NE Horizontal (Back):
field and click
Save
. The entered name is used in the Security Policy rules and will
appear in this field.
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. For example, if the far end
of the cable is connected to port 8 on panel 3, then this value would be 3:8.
Clear Security Policy Button
Click the
Clear Security Policy
button when an expected connection is to be removed
from the patch field. Login to the appropriate PViQ™ Connectivity System and select
the appropriate panel and port that the connection is to be removed from. In the case of
a cross-connect connection, the port LEDs on both ends of the patch cord will start
blinking red until the cord is removed from the port. In the case of an I-Cord, the port on
the PViQ™ Connectivity Panel will start blinking red until the cord is removed from the
port. It is assumed that the far end of the I-Cord will also be removed.
Alarms Page
From any page, click the
Alarms
tab in the page ribbon at the upper left side of the
page to get to the
Alarms Page
. The ribbon of tabs is the same at the top of all pages
in the PViQ™ Connectivity Web UI. This page provides a list of the active alarms in the
PViQ™ Connectivity System.
The table on this page may have placeholders for up to 5 panels (depending on how
many panels were connected to the PViQ™ Connectivity PM in the past). If only one
panel is currently in the PViQ™ Connectivity System, then the table will indicate that the
other panels are not active.
The following figure shows the alarm page with alarms on panels 1, 3 and 4. This
provides examples of multiple alarms on a panel, no alarms on a panel and one alarm
