Network Paused - VisualWeather has paused communication in the
network.

Unreachable - The device cannot be reached through the network.

Comm Status - A device has four communication states: Normal, Marginal,
Critical, or Unknown. The current status of the device will be reflected in this
column.

Line State - The state of communication with the device in the network.

Off-line - No communication is taking place with the device.

On-line - Communication for all parent devices for the device has been
successful and the parent devices have been put into a transparent state.
Therefore, an On-Line state for a device indicates that the communication
link is ready for the device, but it may not necessarily be on-line yet.

Transparent - The device is part of an active communication link. For
instance, when a datalogger is called using a phone modem, the phone
modem will become transparent once communication is established with
the datalogger.

Comm Disabled - Communication has been disabled either by the user or
by VisualWeather.

Hanging Up - VisualWeather is in the process of shutting down
communication with the device.

Vals Last Coll - The number of values that were collected during the last data
collection attempt.

Vals to Coll - The number of values that were available for collection during
the last data collection.

Last Col Attempt - The date and time that data collection was last attempted
with the datalogger.

Last Data Collection - The date and time of the last successful data collection
with the datalogger.

Next Data Coll - The date and time of the next scheduled data collection for
the device.

Total Attempts - The total number of times VisualWeather has attempted to
communicate with the device.

Total Failures - The total number of times the primary and secondary retries
for a device have been exhausted before the communication attempt was
successful.

Total Retries - The total number of times VisualWeather has attempted to
communicate with a device after the original attempt failed.
