Device Values
Each monitored device has a set of values used in its description. These values are supplied when the device is
registered and consist of the following:
Device Values
• Device Number
• Name
• Manufacturer
• Model
• Device Type
• Serial Number
• Firmware Version This is the firmware version of the NetLinx-connected device and is only available for
• Address and
Address Type
Parameter Values
Each parameter has a set of values used to determine what conditions indicate a problem and what type of
problem this condition represents. These values are supplied when the parameter is registered and consist of
the following:
Parameter Values
• Name
• Parameter Type
• Value and Units
8
This is the device number of the device, as defined in the NetLinx program. Devices are
tracked by Device ID so this value must be unique within the devices of a given room. For
instance, you can have multiple devices with a Device ID of "1:1:0", as long as there is
only one device per room with that particular Device ID.
This is the name of device. This name is displayed on the administrator's console and
readily identifies the device.
This is the manufacturer of the device. If this value is not supplied during registration, the
manufacturer of the NetLinx-connected device will be used.
This is the model number of the device. If this value is not supplied during registration, the
model name of the NetLinx-connected device will be used.
The device type of the NetLinx-connected device, e.g., "NI-2000" or "NXP-TPI/4 Touch
Panel". This is available for Axcess and NetLinx devices. Information is registered auto-
matically by the RMS application.
This is the serial number of the NetLinx-connected Device and is only available for
NetLinx devices. This information is registered automatically by the RMS application.
NetLinx devices. This information is registered automatically by the RMS application.
This is the physical address and address type for the NetLinx-connected device. This
information describes how the device is connected to the NetLinx master. A device con-
nected via ICSNet will display "ICSNet" for the address type and the hardware's network
address for the address. A device connected via IP will display "TCP/IP" for the address
type and the IP address for the address. Axcess devices will display "AxLink" for both val-
ues. This information may be useful for diagnosing device connectivity problems. This
information is registered automatically by the RMS application.
This is the name of parameter. This name is displayed on the RMS application con-
sole and readily identifies the parameter. Parameters are tracked by name so this
name must be unique within the parameters of a given device. For instance, you can
have multiple "Lamp Hours" parameters as long as there is only one "Lamp Hours"
parameter per monitored device.
This indicates if the value is a number or a string. This information is used to deter-
mine how to perform certain operation, such as addition and comparisons between
the new and threshold values. For instance, comparing "10" and "2" as strings results
in "10" less than "2" but comparing them as numbers results in "2" less than "10".
This is the current value of the parameter. Units are appended to the value when
displayed in the web console.
