In the SNMP State Dictionary there is a
group called System, which is responsible for storing information
about the system being managed. This group is based on the MIB-II
System Group that contains attributes such as description,
location, and contact. The System Window represents this
information graphically, listing the contents of the attributes in
a textual format.
When
there are attributes present in the object, the System icon is
present as shown in the figure below:
This
icon provides an interactor, used to expand a System window that
provides a list of existing attributes when you click the icon
(see the following figure):
Note
This interactor is an object interactor. As such, it is active
only if the view interactor set to the view delegates events to
object interactors. To have a view interactor delegate event
processing to an object interactor, use the method
setUsingObjectInteractor of the class
IlpViewInteractor.
Once the
System window is displayed, the System icon background becomes
gray and remains so until notification of an attribute change is
sent to the telecom object. After the System window has been
closed (by clicking the System icon), the System icon looks like
this:
