Section 6. Network Status and Resolving Communication Problems

Scheduled Collection – This is the automatic data collection schedule. The

state is either enabled, disabled, or paused. Scheduled data collection is paused

from the Status window (Pause Schedule check box).

Table Definitions – Table-based dataloggers return information on all the data

tables in the datalogger to the LoggerNet server. The state can be Valid or Out

of Date. If table definitions are out of date, they must be updated before data

can be collected from the datalogger (LoggerNet attempts to do this

automatically. Table definitions can be updated manually from the Setup

Screen’s Data File tab for the datalogger.)

Avg Error Rate – A running average, expressed in percent, of the number of

communication failures and retries over a period of time.

6.5.2 Buttons

Subnet – Allows you to choose to view the entire network or a subnet

configured using Setup Screen | View | Configure Subnets. (Available in

LoggerNet Admin Only.)

Display – Allows you to choose to view all devices or stations only.

Comm Test – Pressing the Comm Test button will open the Communication

Test window which is described in Section 6.3, Comm Test.

TD-RF Test – This option opens a window from which you can perform a

communications test on a table data RF modem link (RFBase-TD, RFRemote-

TD, or RFRemote-PB). This test is not applicable for RF400 radios or non-TD

based RF modems. See Section 6.5.3, TD-RF Test, for more information.

Station Status – Highlight a datalogger from the list on the left and press the

Station Status button to display the Station Status information from the

datalogger. For additional information on the Station Status see Section 5.1.11,

Station Status.

Find PakBus IDs – This option is used to find PakBus devices attached to a

PakBus port within the communication network. Highlight a PakBusPort from

the list on the left and press the

Find PakBus IDs button. LoggerNet will

initiate a search for all PakBus devices on that particular PakBus Port. (It may

take a few moments to return a response.) If the PakBus ports are bridged, the

IDs for all PakBus devices found will be returned.

Reset Device – This option is used to reset the Statistics and Collection

Schedule for the selected device.

Log Tool – Pressing the Log Tool button opens the Log Tool application

which is described in Section 6.2, LogTool.

6.5.3 TD-RF Test

Pressing the TD-RF test button launches the TD-RF Quality Test window from

which one can execute RF Link Quality tests (see Section 6.5.3.1 RF Link

Quality Tests) and/or activate the Advanced Features (see Section 6.5.3.3

Advanced Features) of the TD-RF modems. The features and functions

accessible through the TD-RF Quality Test window are applicable only to TD-

RF devices in the network (RFBase-TD, RFRemote-TD, and RFRemote-PB).
