Online Status Indicates the current device state. The values that may appear in this field
and their colors depend on whether the device has successfully been
installed (black), the device is being installed (orange), or the device is not
running because of an error (red).
Black (Installed)
• Up. The device has been commissioned, it is communicating with the
SmartServer, and it does not have any hard message failures.
Orange (Installation in Progress)
• Nul. The SmartServer has not yet communicated with the device.
Red (Error)
• Down. The SmartServer cannot communicate with the device after
the calculated number of retries. This is called a hard message error.
• Confirmed Down. After the device has had a hard message error and
is marked as “Down”, the SmartServer attempts to communicate with
the device using degraded messages (no retries) over an approximate
5-minute period. If the SmartServer fails to communicate with the
device during this period, the device is marked as “Confirmed
Down”. In addition, the data points on the device are marked offline
in the tree.
• No Agent. No proxy can communicate with the device.
• Invalid Neuron State. The SmartServer has determined that the
device is applicationless.
Communication
Attempts The number of times that a device (either the SmartServer or a proxy
agent) has attempted to communicate with the target device.
For direct communication target devices, this is the number of
communication attempts made by the SmartServer. For all other target
devices, this is the number of communication attempts made by a proxy
agent.
Communication
Failures The number of times that a device (either the SmartServer or a proxy
agent) has failed to communicate with the target device.
For direct communication target devices, this is the number of
communication failures that have occurred with the SmartServer. For all
other target devices, this is the number of communication failures that
have occurred with a proxy agent.
Communication
Agent Switch The number of times that the proxy agent used by a target device to
receive a message from the SmartServer has been switched because of a
communication failure with a previous proxy agent.
Communication
Skipped The number of times that a proxy agent has not attempted to send a
message to the target device because the Online Status of the target
device was not “Up”.
12. Optionally, you can obtain the real-time signal strength and signal margin measurements at the
hop between a device and its proxy following these steps:
a. Right-click the device and select Online Measurement in the shortcut menu.
