We recommend that you test connections during the configuration process so you can
more easily narrow down the cause of any problems. This is because you may have
problems in run-time where no error message is generated.
Checking the DMS - NK82xx connection(s)
Verify that the NK82xx(s) communicate with the DMS
This needs to be done from the host station.
Check each NK82xx to ensure that it communicates with the DMS.

The way in which you check depends on the type of DMS.
– MM8000 shows the link status of a network unit as Reachable or Not
reachable. In case of communication failure, a Fault event is generated, and all
the data point conditions that cannot be aligned with field status (belonging to
the NK8000 units, and to the subsystems connected through those units) are
greyed to indicate that are no longer reliable.
– MK8000 reports the link status of each unit on one of the OPC objects. The
OPC client then presents that condition to the users.
To correct communication failure(s), see Maintenance and diagnostics [➙ 63], with
resolutions to some common problems detailed in section The NK8000 maintenance
and diagnostic tool [➙ 64].
