State
Description
Online
Indicates that a device is available for use by the CE operating system.
Offline
Indicates that a device is not available for use by the CE operating system, but the device is not
necessarily failed. Possible reasons for offline include:
• For some devices, a transitional state that precedes online.
• The device was disabled using Endurance Manager.
• The device was not detected by software. Possible reasons include the device was powered
off, or was improperly defined using the Endurance Configuration Utility.
Additionally, some devices may be set to offline to temporarily block their access until the
device's state can be properly identified.
Faulted
Indicates a device failure has been detected. If the error is transient, you can return the device to
service by enabling the device (using Endurance Manager), and rebooting the IOP. If the error is
not transient, you need to replace the device.

Table 2-10 Keyboard/Pointer States
Description
Both the keyboard and pointer are available to the server.
The keyboard or pointer is not available to the entire server configuration.
In some cases (for example, failed keyboard or pointer), the input device
is not available to either the IOP or CE. In other cases (when the keyboard
or pointer are not identical), the keyboard or pointer is unavailable to the
CE, but remains available locally (at the IOP).
