Status for every item within these displays is immediately apparent as a result of propagated color-codes at the icons and connectors. Correspondingly, you can research and troubleshoot by invoking displays of event logs, statistics, and reports. Major and minor alarms are transmitted across domain boundaries and are maintained network-wide. The alarm status reported on StrataView Plus is a network-wide alarm status. If a minor or major alarm is declared at a node within a specific domain, all nodes inclusive of the network receive an update for the alarm.
Local nodes keep concise alarm status information for each node within their domain.
They do not know the detailed status of nodes outside their domain. Detailed information can be obtained by accessing the remote node via virtual terminal interface. Network Performance StrataView Plus has powerful statistics gathering capability. From data gleaned throughout the network, you can quickly view the operational integrity and deployment of installed network devices and communication media by activating and invoking statistics displays. Statistics are collected and temporarily stored by each node in the network and released to StrataView Plus when you enable polling in accordance with your configuration for specific information within reports.
