The 9990-DEC-MPEG user interface is depicted below. As with any openGear™ card, it is
divided into a statistics panel on the left, and a configuration panel on the right. Each panel has
multiple tabs, corresponding to the various functions in the card. Note that the Card State alarm
indicator is also reflected in the green/red Status LED in the front of the board. The Status LED
will be green when Card State is green or yellow, and will be red when Card State is red.
The following tabs are available:

uptime, temperatures, and other parameters. It appears only on the Statistics panel.
