Power Sentry COMPASS 4 - Manual (Page 57)

Newpoint Technologies, Inc. COMP-USER-006
Salem, NH 03079 Rev. 3.2 –01/31/01 57
Notes
The Edit and Runtime-Config menu options on the
Administrator are only enabled when the current (selected)
node is in Run or Idle state.
If the Compass node goes down (crashes, or you bring
fepstate to 0 from a command prompt) while you are working
in the Compass Configurator, one of these error messages
may appear as you try to enter data or to exit from
Configurator:
•
Unable to connect to FEP node
•
Failed to Connect to Newpoint Compass database
•
Could not save driver to disk check permissions
The state of the current Compass node is only checked when
the Select Current Node or Change Newpoint Compass State
commands are executed. For example, if a Newpoint
Compass node state is changed from a remote node, the new
state does not display properly on the local node until the
local node executes one of the above commands.
If the current node (local or remote) is in Stop state, the
Configure Driver Buses and Points and Configure
Miscellaneous Points menu options (and on the pop-up
menus for each node) are disabled.
