Displaying and Configuring HDM Cards

The HDM front card in an IGX node is a programmable communications processor that can support one to four high speed, synchronous data channels. It operates at speeds from 1.2 Kbps up to 1344 Kbps on all four ports while performing link error monitoring.

Displaying Card Parameters

To display the Card Configuration dialog for this device (using the rear or front view), right-click on the card to display the card "Configure" pop-up menu, then select Configure.

Front Card Configuration Dialog

Use this dialog to display HDM card characteristics, hardware, firmware, and status information. The Card Configuration dialog parameters are described in Table 9-1 .

Table 9-1: Card Configuration Dialog Parameters---Front View

Parameter Description

Slot No

Identifies the slot the card is in.

Card Status

Status of the card. Examples are:

Active---Card in use. No failure.

Standby---Card idle. No failures.

Failed---Card failed.

Down---Card downed.

Mismatch---Mismatch between front card and back card.

Missing---An active card has been removed.

FrontCard Type

Identifies the type of front card. In this case, it is an NTM.

Front Card Serial#

Serial number on the front card.

FrontCard Revision

Model, hardware revision, and firmware revision of the front card.

Card Y-RedStatus

Card Y-Redundancy status. The values can be one of: primary, secondary, null.

AssocCard for Y-red

Associated slot for this card's Y-Redundancy. If the Card Y-RedStatus is primary, the secondary card index displays in this field. If the Card Y-RedStatus is secondary, the primary slot index displays in this field. If Card Y-RedStatus is null, a zero (0) appears in this field.
