260 Managing Networks
Repetition Control
Repeat Number of
Times Specifies how many times a Wink or Test command will be repeated.
The default is 1, which means that these commands are not repeated. If
you enter a value greater that 1 in this box, you must enter a non-zero
value in the Wait Between Operations box.
Wait Between
Operations Specifies how many seconds the OpenLNS CT Device Manager
waits between repeating a Wink or Test command when the number
in the Repeat Number of Times box is greater than 1. Shorter wait
times may cause a Wink or Test command to generate an error
because it does not get completed before the next one is issued.
Using OpenLNS CT Styles Overview
You can use Visio styles to view the state of each device, functional block, connection, and network
variable/message tag. OpenLNS CT automatically updates SmartShape styles as events are received
that indicate changes in SmartShape status. You can change how states are depicted in an OpenLNS
CT drawing. If you modify the current drawing file styles, only the styles in the drawing file that you
modified will be affected. If you modify the styles in the template (LonWorks.vst by default), all
networks created after the template modification will use the new styles.
OpenLNS CT Device Styles
Device styles indicate the state of the application devices and routers in an OpenLNS CT drawing.
The OpenLNS Server monitors the state of devices that have been enabled, and notifies OpenLNS CT
of any changes. The following list describes the device styles:
Device State Default Style Description
Normal Solid green All changes made to the network database have been
successfully written to the physical device. The
device and the database are synchronized.
Soft Offline Green crosshatching The device has an application loaded and is
configured, but it is offline. The device will go
online when either the online command is invoked
on the device or the device is reset.
Uninstalled Yellow diagonal Changes have been made in the network database,
but the physical device has not been updated.
Devices may not be up to date because OpenLNS CT
is unattached or is OffNet. Once the device is
commissioned and updated, the device style changes
to Normal.
For example, if you delete a connection between two
application devices while OpenLNS CT is OffNet,
the devices are marked with the yellow diagonal
lines.
State Failure Yellow crosshatching The OpenLNS Server has detected that the device is
not in the expected state.
Error Red diagonal Changes have been made in the network database, but
an error has occurred while updating the device. The
