Connection Status on a Multi-Node System
The Connection Status folder determines the
connection of each node on a system.
The connection state for all nodes on the
system is shown as a table in the Connection
Status tab folder. If a node is connected to the
network the Status column is shown as a
green bar adjacent to the node.
If a node is switched off, or disconnected from the network, the Status bar
adjacent to the node is displayed in yellowish-orange.
When the node is switched on or reconnected its status bar changes to
green.
The table shows the node connection status from the point of
view of the node accessed, and therefore may not be a true
indication of the current status. For example, if Connection Status
is accessed from a node that is disconnected the table will show
the other nodes with red status, even though these nodes may
well have a valid connection.
Safe Mode
If your node has been configured to operate in Safe Mode, the node will
automatically disconnect from the network and operate as a standalone
node if it detects conditions on the network that prevent it from operating
reliably.
The operator may also manually enter Safe Mode
by clicking on the Enter Safe Mode button at the
bottom of the Connection Status tab.
This button only appears on nodes
configured for Safe Mode.
When Safe Mode is entered the node will
disconnect from the network and run as
standalone, a permanent Alarm `Safe Mode
Activated' is generated and the button at the
bottom of the tab changes to Leave Safe Mode.
To restore normal network communications click on the button. The Safe
Mode Activated warning is removed from the list of Alerts.
