Board Information

To view board information, select the appropriate PortMaster 4 from the pull-down list at the top of the PMVision display.
 

Board

Number of the slot in which the board is installed, except for the Ethernet board and the system manager module, which is installed slot 4 but assigned to virtual slot 10.

Type 

One of the following board types occupying a slot:
Quad T1 Board containing four T1 line ports and 98 modems.
Tri E1 Board containing three E1 line ports and 98 modems, or three E1 ports only.
System Manager Board on the manager module containing a 10Mbps Ethernet connection and two asynchronous console ports. 
T3 MUX Contains an integral CSU and accepts a single DS-3 interface through a pair of BNC connectors.
LNS Contains its own microprocessor, with 32 MB of dynamic RAM, which holds ComOS and the operational settings for the board.
Dual Ethernet Consists of two boards that are inserted into slot 3. Slot 3 has more backplane width. A single PortMaster 4 can have only one dual-interface Ethernet module.
Ethernet (Standalone Ethernet) Can be inserted into any slot except slot 4, which is reserved for the manager module.
STS-1 Consists of two 75-ohm coaxial BNC connectors that provide one line for transmitting and one fo4r receiving.

Temperature  

Board temperature in degrees Celsius and Fahrenheit, sampled every 10 seconds. If board temperature exceeds 50 degrees C (122 degrees F), the system manager module generates an SNMP alarm. If the temperature exceeds 55 degrees C (131 degrees Fahrenheit), the manager module generates another SNMP alarm and turns off the board. The Shutdown temperature for a PortMaster 4 is configurable under Configure==>Global for ComOS 4.1b4 and later.

Power (watts) 

Number of watts allocated for the board, sampled when the board was originally detected. 

Status

Shows if power to a board is turned on or off. To turn power on or off to a board, select it in the display and click On or Off at the bottom of the display.
