For Rapier products, the chassis image shows in real-time the status of the links and ports. The link LEDs indicate the link
state for each port. A legend on the chassis face interprets the meaning for the LED colors, such as green for an enabled 100
MHz link and amber for an enabled 10 MHz link.
The port status is indicated on the chassis face by the port color. During normal operation, the port color is gray. If an alarm
occurs on a port, the color of the affected port will change to indicate the alarm condition. When the alarm is cleared, the
port color will change back to gray. If multiple alarms exist, the highest priority alarm condition will be displayed. When the
highest-priority alarm condition is cleared, the next lower priority alarm will be displayed.
The File pull-down has the Refresh and Exit options, while the Applications pull-down has the VLAN Interface Configuration
option. This will invoke the VLAN view of the device and allow for VLAN provisioning, as described in 5.4.
Note: The Refresh option is useful in picking up any card configuration changes.
The Polling pull-down is a toggle function to Start or Stop Port Pollers; the pollers allows port information to be polled for
the device so the port status can be updated. Along the bottom of the Chassis View is the date when the switch ports were
last polled.
Below the device is general information about the device.
For iMAP products, the chassis view reflects which cards are configured and in what slot they are located. A graphical
representation of each provisioned card is displayed, including the colors of any LEDs and any markings on the card face. An
example is shown in the following figure.

For iMAP devices, alarm LEDs for the chassis view are known by polling the device for alarms, not by querying the
AlliedView NMS database that has the results of the AlliedView NMS Management system (described in Section 8).
Therefore, alarm LEDs produced as a result of the Fault Management system (such as thresholds or traps) are not are known
by the chassis view and are not displayed.
For the EPON2 card, the port LED is lit when there is a discovered link on the EPON interface. (The link does not have to
be authenticated.). Also for the EPON2 card, you can click on the ONU button and a pop-up will show the status of the
ONU ports. To close the pop-up, click on the square labeled Port <no.> ONUs, as highlighted in Figure 5-2.
5.2.1 Display Types
There are four types of displays for cards in the chassis view:
• Card is provisioned and installed - The card is displayed.
• Card is pre-provisioned but not installed - The card appears as a provisioned/installed card, but the LEDs indicate the
provisioned card state, and the Fault LED is lit with the “card not present” fault.
