Entering and Exiting Trace Mode
The PViQ™ Connectivity System may be put into Trace Mode through the PViQ™
Connectivity Web UI or through the PViQ™ Connectivity Panel IU. Refer to Section 2 –
PViQ™ Connectivity System Web User Interface (Web UI)
for entering and exiting
Trace Mode through the Web UI. Refer to Appendix G: Interacting with the PViQ™
Connectivity System Interface Units for entering and exiting Trace Mode through the
PViQ™ Connectivity Panel IU.
MAC Mode
Work orders for Move, Add, or Change (MAC) activities initiated through the SmartZone
Asset and Connectivity Software Modules place the PViQ™ Connectivity Panels/Trays
into MAC Mode. This provides a visual reference on the panel and notifies the user that
a change order is pending.
When the Web UI is used to perform a “Clear Security Policy” on a connected port, the
panel will go into MAC Mode to guide the user through the removal operation.
Identifying MAC Mode
In MAC Mode, the System Status Indicator LED (SYS) is solid green and MAC Indicator
LED (MAC) is solid green. All other indicator LEDs are off. The following figure shows
the IU in MAC Mode.

Entering MAC Mode
The PViQ Connectivity Patch Panels can only be put into MAC Mode through the
SmartZone Asset and Connectivity Software Modules (available separately). The
PViQ™ Connectivity Web UI uses MAC Mode to guide the removal of a security policy
on a port.
