Description: The Management Comm State indicates the state of the management connection between the PEM Server and the line card. disconnected No connection has been established. init A connection has freshly been established on the underlying protocol, but no management information has been transmitted so far. identification The connected device is being identified. check hardware The connected hardware is compared to the one stored in the configuration. hardware adaptation If the configured and the existing device do not match, an adoption is made. The behaviour in this case can be configured with the 'HW Adaptation Policy' option. check program version The program version of the connected hardware is compared to the one stored in the configuration. check config version The configuration version of the connected hardware is compared to the one stored in the configuration. download config If a configuration version mismatch has been detected and the 'Config Priority' of 'PEGASUS system' is set to 'Device', the configuration is downloaded from the device to the PEM Server. upload config If a configuration version mismatch has been detected and the 'Config Priority' of 'PEGASUS system' is set to 'Server', the configuration is uploaded from the PEM Server to the device. status synch The values of the status properties are being synchronised. resetting The device is resetting. inactive The device is connected, but it is inactive, that is not operational. This may be due to a hardware mismatch. active The management connection between the device and the PEM Server is fully established and the device is active.
