SPECTRUM Support
A model type is a template used to specify attributes, actions, and associations
for modeling a particular kind of device. In SPECTRUM, the SynOptics Series
5000 hub is represented by the model type designation of HubSyn5xxx. The
HubSyn5xxx model type provides support for the SynOptics Series 5000 hub
chassis and the modules inserted in the chassis.
A device icon may be created with this model type either manually or by using
AutoDiscovery (refer to the AutoDiscovery User’s Guide). SPECTRUM will
identify and model the chassis and all of the physical modules inserted in the
chassis. (See the SPECTRUM Views.)
Full Support/Limited Support
The supported physical modules are only a subset of the complete set of
physical modules available from the manufacturer, and that new physical
modules are continually being introduced. To provide the maximum
information available on any physical module, SPECTRUM uses two levels of
model type support: Full support and Limited support.
• Full support indicates that the physical module has been integrated into
the management module and all of its functionality has been tested.
• Limited support indicates that the physical module is not yet available for
full testing or integration into the management module, but all known
functionality has been provided within the model type.
For example, a module having Full support provides an accurate image of the
physical module in the Physical Device view, whereas a module having Limited
support may use an image from a similar physical module, or a blank image (no
port, tab, or screw representations). Blank images still provide right mouse
button menu functionality, such as access to the Module Notes facility.
Figure 1-1 provides descriptions and levels of support for the SynOptics Series
5000 physical modules. Figure 1-2 provides the SynOptics naming scheme
used for the Series 5000 modules.
