Overview

General information

On the equipment navigation tree, shelf objects are children of device objects. Shelf objects appear below logical group objects in the navigation tree. Card objects are children of shelf objects, and as such appear below the shelf object in the navigation tree.

Wavence shelf information

Shelf objects represent the hardware that is configured on a shelf. When you choose the shelf object in the navigation tree and choose Properties in the contextual menu, you can view the states and conditions of the Wavence shelf including:

  • general information

  • fan tray state and speed

  • card slots

  • timing

  • faults

  • port segregation

  • software control module

  • software bank information

  • cross-connections

For Wavence SA devices, you can view the following states and conditions on the shelf:

  • general information

  • display

  • card slots

  • software control module

  • software bank information

  • faults

The Display tab displays a graphical representation of the device shelf and its equipment components, such as the empty card slots and the cards that are installed on the device. You can double-click on an object in the tab to open its Properties configuration form. Right-click on the object and you have access to the contextual menus for the object and any child objects; for example, the ports of a card (dynamic graphical representation only).

Working with cards and card slot objects on Wavence devices

When you click the plus sign beside a shelf object, the card slots in the shelf appear in the navigation tree. They can appear as empty card slots when a card is not provisioned for the slot.

Card objects for Wavence devices must be configured using a Wavence element manager. See the Wavence documentation for more information.
