When you first open the Busy Out Manager for a particular module, the status of the devices/
circuits are unknown (shown as a '-') as they have not been retrieved yet. Anytime you want to
see the “current” status of a particular item, you must select one or more items from either the
ports view or devices/circuits view, and then click the Get Selected Status. If you choose to
retrieve the status at the port level, the command may take a few seconds as it is retrieving
status for every device/circuit programmed for the selected port(s).
You can similarly perform busy out operations on item selections from either the ports view or
the device/circuits view.
To busy out items, do one of the following:
• Select one or more ports.
• Select one or more devices/circuits, and then click Busy Selected.
For example, if you want to busy out the entire board, select all of the ports in the port list, and
then click Busy Selected.
In the same way that you can perform busy out operations you can perform unbusy operations.
Following the same steps as above, however, instead of clicking Busy Selected you would click
Unbusy Selected.
Busy Out Statuses
There are several different statuses that may be shown in the Busy Out Manager. The display
string and their meaning can be found in the table below.
NOTE
Performing a “Busy Selected” action does not display the current status. The
status for the devices/circuits instead displays “Pending Status Update,” at which
point you must retrieve the status.
