Managing a Street Lighting Network

The direct communication devices (proxies that can directly receive

messages from the Segment Controller without any repeating) are listed

in the Direct Communication column (in the example above, the

Segment Controller can reach both Lamp 1 and SLB 1 directly). The

direct communication devices can relay messages to proxies and target

devices further down the power line (in the example above, SLB 2 and

Lamp 2).
The proxies and target devices are listed under the Proxy Zone columns

(in the example above, SLB 2 is Proxy Zone 1, and Lamp 2 is in Proxy

Zone 2). The last repeating device in the chain before the target device is

referred to as the “proxy agent”.
For example, if a target device uses four hops to receive a message, you

would observe:

a. The proxy in the repeating chain that directly communicates with

the Segment Controller is listed in the Direct Communication

column.

b. The next proxy in the repeating chain, which does not have direct

communication with the Segment Controller, is listed in the

Proxy Zone 1 column.

c. The proxy that can directly communicate with the target device

(the proxy agent) is listed in the Proxy Zone 2 column.

d. The target device is listed in the Proxy Zone 3 column.

If a target device requires the maximum of eight hops, you can scroll to

the right to Proxy Zone 7 column to view the target device and its

repeating chain to the left.

4. You can display statistics related to the power line signal at the hop

between a device and its proxy by selecting the following checkboxes at

the top of the Web page (you can view all the statistics by clicking the

Display All Standard Information checkbox).
