device may not be responding properly, a router or
channel between the OpenLNS Server and the device
may have failed, or a physical connection may be faulty.

If OpenLNS CT is OnNet, the OpenLNS Server
periodically tries to update the device. Once the
device has been updated to match the network
database, the device style changes to Normal.

Detached Red

crosshatching

The OpenLNS Server has detected that the device is
not attached or is otherwise unable to communicate
with the network. If a router becomes detached, the
devices on the other side of the router will not show
up as detached on the drawing.

Note: Devices that have a Ping Interval of Never are not monitored; therefore, the device SmartShapes
may not indicate the correct detached or failure states.

OpenLNS CT reflects the last known state of functional blocks. You may update that information in
two ways:

Report in this chapter for more information about this feature).

• Select one or more functional blocks, right-click one of the selected functional blocks, ands then

click Manage on the shortcut menu. The Functional Block tab of the OpenLNS CT Device
Manager opens. Click Test (see
