Each device has a green indicator for
its available ports, which will “heartbeat”
(flash bright green) to indicate that the
unit is running and can be reached. If the
device is not “heartbeating” then it cannot
be reached.
If a device is using both ports (for
redundancy), each port will have its
own heartbeat indicator. The preferred
port will be highlighted. If a port is not
DEVICE STATUS
heartbeating, its indicator will light red
(But the device could still be in use
through the other port).
If neither port is heatbeating, then the
device is no longer available.
If the device does not appear to be
heartbeating, but it is not greyed out, then
the console can access the device, but
the PC cannot. This situation could arise
in redundant systems, where the PC is
connected to just one of two switches,
and the connection between the switches
has failed. The PC will only be able to
“see” the devices connected to the same
switch as itself. As the console will be
connected to both switches, normal
operation can continue.
