■A device that is disconnected or not logged into is displayed in light gray.
■A connected and communicating device with no alarms is displayed in full color and
the LEDs are green.
■When a device has a DMS PID on the input, DMS displays next to the device
icon.
■When a device has a critical alarm then the LEDs are red.
■When a device has a major alarm and no critical alarms then the LEDs are orange.
■When a device has a warning alarm and no major or critical alarms then the LEDs
are yellow.
