Product Manager Overview
Product Icons Information in each product icon includes the following:
Object descriptions:
◆ Switch data speed, 1 Gb/s or 2 Gb/s. 
◆ Attention indicator — A yellow triangle means that product 
requires attention. Open the Product Manager application for the 
director by double-clicking on the icon to find out more 
information. 
◆ Product name or network address — You can determine which 
appears by right-clicking on the open area away from the product 
icons and selecting Display Options from the pop-up menu.
Whichever identifier appears, you can display a pop-up window with 
the other identifier by moving the cursor over the product icon.
◆ Status indicator (the color-coded symbol behind the product 
illustration):
• A red and yellow diamond means that the product has failed 
and requires immediate service.
• A yellow triangle means that the product is degraded, but is 
still performing as designed.
• A green circle means that the product is fully operational.
• A grey square means that the Connectrix Manager cannot 
determine product status.
• If an alert symbol does not display behind the product, the 
product is not managed by the Connectrix service processor to 
which you are logged in.
The most critical status reflected by a product in the view is also 
reflected in the Products status box in the left corner of the 
Connectrix Manager window.
