Figure 4-1 Module Configuration Window
Step 2 Make sure that the correct chassis and module are selected in the lists on the left side of the window.
Step 3 You can enter any descriptive text in the Description 1 and Description 2 areas, if required.
Commissioning or Decommissioning a Module
To commission or decommission a module:
Step 1 Choose the chassis and corresponding module you want to commission or decommission from the lists on the left side of the window.
Step 2 Click the corresponding Commission or Decommission button.
Commissioning
Commissioning a port adapter also commissions all objects under the port adapter, which includes all interfaces and ATM connections. Commissioning a supporting module commissions only that module.
Commissioning any module results in the following:
Heartbeat polling begins on the object
The state is changed to normal
Status data becomes available
Commissioning a port adapter results in the following:
All interfaces and ATM connections on the port adapter are also commissioned
Heartbeat polling begins on the port adapter, interfaces, and any ATM connections
The port adapter, active interfaces, and active ATM connections are placed in the normal state
Any interfaces or ATM connections that are predeployed, but not active, change to the errored state
Status data becomes available on the port adapter and interfaces
Decommissioning
Decommissioning any supporting module results in the following:
Heartbeat polling stops on the object
The state is changed to decommissioned
Status data is no longer available
Performance polling stops on the module (if enabled)
Decommissioning a port adapter results in the following:
All interfaces and ATM connections on the port adapter are also decommissioned
Heartbeat polling stops on the port adapter, interfaces, and ATM connections
The port adapter, interfaces, and ATM connections are placed in the decommissioned state
Status data is no longer available on the port adapter and interfaces
Performance polling stops on the port adapter and interfaces (if enabled)
Module Configuration Window—Detailed Description
The Module Configuration window has one tab: Configuration. The Configuration tab has three areas:

Figure 4-3 Module Performance Window
Step 2 Choose the relevant chassis and module from the list boxes on the left side of the window. The performance information for the selected module is displayed.
Note You might notice that port adapters and supporting modules are listed in the
module list box. Although port adapters and supporting modules are listed, no
performance data is available for them.
Enabling or Disabling Performance Logging
You can enable or disable performance logging on a selected module by clicking Start or Stop, respectively. For more details, see the "Performance Logging" section.
Module Performance Window—Detailed Description
The Module Performance window has one tab: Performance. The Performance tab has two areas: CPU Usage and Performance Logging.
CPU Usage
The CPU Usage area displays the following fields:
CPU Busy %—The percentage of CPU space put to use for the selected module.
Average (1 min)—The percentage of CPU memory being utilized, averaged over a one minute period, for the selected module.
Average (5 min)—The percentage of CPU memory being utilized, averaged over a five-minute period, for the selected module.
Performance Logging
The Performance Logging area allows you to start or stop performance logging:
Start—Click to enable performance logging for the selected module. Enabling performance logging allows performance data to be gathered for the selected module. Performance polling occurs every 15 minutes. Performance data is then gathered and stored for historical review. You can view current performance data in the performance windows, or you can view historical performance data in Performance Manager.
Note The Start button is not available if performance logging is already
enabled.
Stop—Click to stop all performance logging on the selected module. Disabling performance logging stops performance data from being gathered for the selected module.
Note The Stop function fails if performance logging is already
disabled.
