Front Panel View
Cluster Tree
Figure 4-3 shows the cluster tree that appears in the left frame of the Front Panel view and shows the
name of the cluster and a list of its members. Figure 4-5 shows the device icons that you can drag and
drop to rearrange them in the cluster tree. The colors of the devices in the cluster tree show the status of
the devices, as listed in Table 4-1.
If you want to configure switch or cluster settings on one or more switches, select the appropriate
front-panel images.
• To select a front-panel image, click either the cluster-tree icon or the corresponding front-panel
image. The front-panel image is then highlighted with a yellow outline.
• To select multiple front-panel images, press the Ctrl key, and left-click the cluster-tree icons or the
front-panel images. To deselect an icon or image, press the Ctrl key, and left-click the icon or image.
If the cluster has many switches, you might need to scroll down the window to display the rest of the
front-panel images. Instead of scrolling, you can click an icon in the cluster tree, and CMS then scrolls
and displays the corresponding front-panel image.

Front-Panel Images
You can manage the switch from a remote station by using the front-panel images. The front-panel
images are updated based on the network polling interval that you set from CMS > Preferences.
This section includes descriptions of the LED images. Similar descriptions of the switch LEDs are
provided in the switch hardware installation guide.
Note The Preferences window is available if your switch access level is read-only. For more information about
the read-only access mode, see the “Access Modes in CMS” section on page 4-30.
