SwitchKit Tray Icons on Windows®

Description

When running SwitchKit on Windows NT® as a service, tray icons give a visual indication of the LLC and SwitchManager status within the icon tray bar.

LLC Icons

The icon for the LLC shows an "LLC" at the bottom. The "LLC" icon is complemented with one of the following:

• a green A above the LLC indicates the LLC on this machine is the primary LLC.

• a yellow S above the LLC indicates the LLC on this machine is the redundant LLC.

SwitchManager Icons

The icon for the SwitchManager shows an "SM" at the top. The "SM" icon is complemented with one of the following:

• a yellow bar under the SM indicates that SwitchManager on this machine is the redundant SwitchManager.

• a red bar under the SM indicates that SwitchManager is currently handling a message.

• a red ! over the SM indicates that SwitchManager is unable to talk to the LLC.

Viewing SwitchKit log files
