You can enable network monitoring so that the CTPView software can periodically check the reachability of CTP platforms in your network. You must also have configured network monitoring on the CTP platforms you want to monitor.
![]() | Note: Network monitoring is not supported for Vcomp bundles. |
To enable CTPView network monitoring:
The Network Monitoring pane is displayed. A Network Monitoring box displays the status of monitoring, Running or Stopped.
The operation or alarm status of each device in the group, and of each port on the device, is displayed. Table 1 lists the status options. A color key in the pane indicates the port state. The highest alarm level on a CTP device percolates up to the button for its group.
Table 1: Platform Group and Port Status
Status | Description |
Active-Down | The port is configured as active, but the port state is Down, meaning that no circuit is established to the port. |
Active-Up | The port is configured as active, and the port state is Up, meaning that a circuit is established to the port. |
Assessing | The problem is being assessed, and a user has placed the CTP platform into the Assessing state. |
Check Host | The CTP platform is reachable across the network, but the CTPView software is unable to communicate with the platform to obtain the status of the ports. |
Disabled | The circuit is configured as disabled. Ports not attached to bundles are marked Disabled. |
No Data | No data can be obtained from the CTP platform. You must investigate further to determine the cause. |
Unreachable | The CTPView server cannot reach the CTP host. This alarm can be due to an IP network problem, a site problem (such as a power outage), or a CTP equipment or configuration issue. |
You can click on a CTP platform button and host button to perform additional monitoring operations, such as checking the host connection, displaying the runtime query results, or overriding the network status.
