19.5.3 Card View
The color of a node in network view, shown in Table 19-10, indicates the node alarm status. 
Table 19-11 lists the tabs and subtabs available in network view.
19.5.3 Card View
The card view provides information about individual ONS 15454 cards. Use this window to perform 
card-specific maintenance and provisioning (Figure 19-7). A graphic showing the ports on the card is 
shown in the graphic area. The status area displays the node name, slot, number of alarms, card type, 
equipment type, card status (active or standby), card service state if the card is present, and port service 
state (described in Table 19-7 on page 19-9). The information that appears and the actions you can 
perform depend on the card. For more information about card service states, refer to Appendix C, 
“DWDM Administrative and Service States.”
