1.3 The FCD-IP Workplace
The RADview FCD-IP main window displays FCD-IP front and back panels,
including all LEDs and interfaces. You can select most of the displayed interfaces in
each section, or select the entire device for system configuration. A blue border
marks the selected item.
To select the device itself, click on any area outside of the ports.
Figure 1-1. FCD-IP Main Window
When an interface is selected, two views are available:
• Edit View (Edit mode) is used for configuring the interface. When configuring
the interface, the configuration is stored in the management station until you
update the device. When you update the device, the configuration is saved on
the device itself.
• Agent View (Agent mode) displays the current state of the interface.
The current mode is indicated by “E.#” or “A.#” at the top-left of the dialog box.
The menus and the available menu options vary, depending on the item selected
in the main window (the device or one of its ports), and the current mode (Edit or
Agent). Certain actions can only be performed in one of the modes. For example,
the link mode can be configured only in the Edit mode and switching traffic
between links can only be performed in Agent mode.
