Point Recovery Strategy

This setting determines the behavior when a device with one or more points loses

communication the LNS DDE Server. Select one of the following:
None

When there is an error communicating with a point, the LNS DDE
Server scales back the polling interval to 60 seconds, to attempt to

regain live data for each failed point. Once communication is

reestablished, polling will continue at the normal rate.

Priority

When there is an error communicating with a device, the LNS DDE

Server will stop monitoring all points on that device. The LNS DDE
Server will send a ping to one point on the device every 60 seconds

using priority messaging. Once communication is reestablished, all
points on the device will be restored to automatic polling.

No Priority

When there is an error communicating with a device, the LNS DDE
Server will stop monitoring all points on that device. The LNS DDE

Server will send a ping to one point on the device every 60 seconds

using non-priority messaging. Once communication is reestablished,
all points on the device will be restored to automatic polling.
