Commission Status Indicates whether the device has been commissioned. The values that
may appear in this field and their colors depend on whether the device has
successfully been installed (black), is being installed (orange), or has an
error (red).
Black (Installed)
• Commissioned. The device has successfully been installed.
Orange (Installation in Progress)
• Pending Commission. The SmartServer has identified that it needs
to commission the device.
• Pending Download. The SmartServer has been instructed to
download an application image to the device.
• Never Reached. During the initial installation attempt, the device
has not received messages from the SmartServer.
Red (Error)
• Commission Error. The device has not been commissioned. Most
likely this is a result of a communication failure, but it could also be
caused by a device failure.
• Download Error. An application image has not been downloaded to
the device. Most likely this is a result of a communication failure, but
it could also be caused by issues such as the device having the wrong
model number, or the device and the application image file (.apb
extension) on the SmartServer to be downloaded to the device having
mismatching program IDs.
• Message Error. The SmartServer cannot communicate with the
device after the calculated number of retries (this is classified as a
hard message error). The SmartServer will regularly attempt to
communicate with the device over an approximate 5-minute period.
If the device does not respond during this time, its Online Status is
changed from “Down” to “Confirmed Down”.
