Viewing Modules & SFPs

This article explains what Provider Connectivity Assurance Sensor Modules are and what can be done in the Managed Modules & SFPs and Unmanaged Modules & SFPs pages.

Currently, the only devices that appear in the Managed Modules & SFPs list are Assurance Sensor Modules and Assurance Sensor SFP modules that are in the inventory of a Provider Connectivity Assurance Sensor Control. These modules act as remote ports for Provider Connectivity Assurance Sensor Control.

From the Managed Modules & SFPs page, you can:

• View the list of all Assurance Sensor Modules that have been loaded in Legacy orchestrator.
• View details of an Assurance Sensor Module.
• Add, resync, or unmanage Assurance Sensor Modules.
• Upgrade the firmware of an Assurance Sensor Module.
• Change the Admin State of an Assurance Sensor Module (put it in service or out of service).
• View the Assurance Sensor Modules' dashboard.

Managed Modules & SFPs page (Devices ▶ Managed Modules & SFPs)

From the Unmanaged Modules & SFPs page, you can:

• View the list of all Assurance Sensor Modules that have been loaded in Legacy orchestrator with DISCONNECTED state or added by Inventory polling.
• Manage Assurance Sensor Modules that are currently Unmanaged.
• Delete Assurance Sensor Modules.

Viewing the Managed Modules & SFPs List and Dashboard

Legacy orchestrator allows you to view the Assurance Sensor Module and Assurance Sensor SFP modules that are in the inventory of an Assurance Sensor Control.

Before it is possible to view the Assurance Sensor Modules, they must be loaded into Legacy orchestrator. See "Loading the Inventory of Performance Elements".

To view the list of Managed Modules & SFPs

1. To access the list and dashboard of Assurance Sensor Modules, select Devices ▶ Managed Modules & SFPs.

2. To interpret the information displayed for the various devices in each of the columns, see the table after this procedure. Some of the columns described in the table may not appear in the Managed Modules & SFPs list on-screen.

3. To display or remove columns from the Managed Modules & SFPs list:

• Right-click anywhere in the headings at the top of the columns. A context menu is displayed.
• Slide the cursor down the menu to Columns to view the full list of columns that can be displayed.
• Check any columns you want to view. Uncheck any columns that you do not want to view.

Managed Modules & SFPs Dashboard

The dashboard gives you a high-level statistical view of Assurance Sensor Modules. The dashboard is displayed on the bottom of the Managed Modules & SFPs page, and provides you with the following statistics:

Linked:

Displays Assurance Sensor Module currently linked / not linked to the Assurance Sensor Control that they control. Possible values:

• YES
• NO
• OVERRIDE_REQ

State:

Possible value:

• MANAGED
• HOLD
• CONNECTING
• CONNECTED

Firmware suite:

Displays the breakdown of firmware version installed on Assurance Sensor Modules.

Model:

Displays the breakdown of the model of the Assurance Sensor Modules that control the Assurance Sensor Control.

Select sorting:

A dynamic display driven by the column selected for sorting. The supported columns are: Type, Admin State and Active Firmware. If you select one of these columns to sort, the breakdown displayed will reflect the selected column. (No graphic.)

Viewing the List of Unmanaged Modules & SFPs

This section explains the information that is displayed for each module in the Unmanaged Modules & SFPs list, modules that Legacy orchestrator is not currently managing.

To view the list of Unmanaged Modules & SFPs

1. To access the list and dashboard of unmanaged Assurance Sensor Modules, select Devices ▶ Unmanaged Managed Modules & SFPs.

2. To interpret the information displayed for the various devices in each of the columns, see the table after this procedure. Some of the columns described in the table may not appear in the Unmanaged Modules & SFPs list on-screen.

3. To display or remove columns from the Unmanaged Modules & SFPs list:

• Right-click anywhere in the headings at the top of the columns. A context menu is displayed.
• Slide the cursor down the menu to Columns to view the full list of columns that can be displayed.
• Check any columns you want to view. Uncheck any columns that you do not want to view.

Changing the Admin State of Managed Modules & SFPs

Legacy orchestrator allows you to change the operational state of Assurance Sensor module and Assurance Sensor SFP modules that are in the inventory of a Assurance Sensor Control.

Before it is possible to change the state of a Assurance Sensor Module, the Assurance Sensor Modules must be loaded into Legacy orchestrator. See "Loading the Inventory of Performance Elements".

To change the admin state of one or more Assurance Sensor Modules

You can change the state of Assurance Sensor Modules one at a time or you can change the state of multiple devices at once.

1. Access the list of Assurance Sensor Modules by selecting Devices ▶ Managed Modules & SFPs.

2. Select the Assurance Sensor Modules whose state you want to change:

• To select one Assurance Sensor Module, double-click the Assurance Sensor Module in the list.
• To select all Assurance Sensor Modules in the list, check the box at the top of the list.
• To select multiple Assurance Sensor Modules in the list, check the boxes for each of the devices.

3. Double-click on the row for a selected module. The Module configuration dialog is displayed.

4. Select the required state from the Admin state drop-down list:

• IS (In Service)
• OOS (Out Of Service)

5. Click the Save button. The dialog closes and the state of selected Assurance Sensor Modules are changed.
