ETL Systems NGMC-21
This connector displays information related to the ETL Systems NGMC-21 combining matrix.
The connector uses two interfaces to communicate with the NGMC-21 device. The SNMP interface is used to retrieve information regarding the chassis (temperature, fan status, etc.) and also for the input and output card tables. The serial interface is used to execute the remaining commands related to the matrix.

Usage
The element created with this connector consists of the data pages detailed below.
Main View
This page contains the device matrix. At the top, two buttons are available that allow you to Undo changes and Reset Labels.
General
This page displays generic parameters, such as Version, Number of Modules, Matrix Size, etc. A subpage contains Polling IP Config parameters.
Status
This page contains two SNMP-polled tables, the Input and Output Card Status Table. The status information in these tables cannot be edited, but can be used for monitoring and trending.
Alarm
This page contains the SNMP-polled Chassis Status Table. This table contains the device status, such as temperatures, fan speeds, and communication state.
There are also a number of overall status parameters for the Master PSU, Master PSU2, Master Communication Link and Master Summary Alarm. Alarm monitoring can be enabled for these parameters.
Configuration
This page allows you to update the matrix size. To do so, update the Matrix Inputs and Matrix Outputs parameters, and then click the Change Size button.
Web Interface
This is a direct link to the web interface of this combining matrix. Note that the client machine has to be able to access the device, as otherwise it will not be possible to open the web interface.
