Troubleshooting and Testing
Orphan Devices
A device that is not linked with any other device in the wireless topology is an orphan device. The
device is represented as an orphan device due to one of the following reasons:
•
The device was originally a part of the wireless network and was dropped.
•
When the network topology was retrieved, the device detail was not retrieved.
•
The network connections are saturated and parent-child connection with the device is not
established.
Class A Compliance
Each device must comply with Class A guidelines. Every device must have two parent devices to
be compliant with the Class A guidelines.
NOTE: The device image in SWIFT Tools is altered to depict that it does not meet the required
guidelines.
NOTE: Class A guidelines are not applicable to the gateway.
Selecting a device from the graphical representation and clicking either left or right allows you to
view the following details. The Network Topology window allows you to click either left or right
on any connected or orphan device.
C.3.2 History Events
History events of the wireless network can be retrieved and viewed using SWIFT Tools for trouble-
shooting purposes. This report provides information on when the device gets connected with the
wireless network, mode change, and slot change details.
C.3.3 Network Snapshots
Network snapshots can be retrieved and viewed using SWIFT Tools for troubleshooting purposes.
The network snapshot helps to analyze how the wireless network is functioning over a period of
time.
C.3.4 Network Statistics
Network statistics of the wireless network can be retrieved and viewed using SWIFT Tools for
troubleshooting purposes. The network statistics provide information on the attributes and RSSI of
a device. The attributes provide information on the retransmission count and device re-join events.
The retransmission count is the number of times a device retransmits the wireless signal. The
device re-join events is the number of times the devices get disconnected from the wireless network
and get connected with the wireless network. The RSSI of a device displays the parent-child rela-
tionship between the devices.
C.3.5 Device Attributes
Device attributes can be retrieved and viewed using SWIFT Tools for troubleshooting purposes.
The attributes of a device such as low indication, removal indication, level, tamper fault, and others
are retrieved.
