iB-5209 Network Monitor Operations
Gateway
This section displays the following information on the i-Bean Gateway connected to the host
PC’s RS-232 port:
•Com Port: Host PC’s RS-232 port connected to i-Bean Gateway.
• ID: Device identifier assigned to the i-Bean Gateway. The ID consists of two octets (A.B),
where each octet’s value = 000 to 255.
• Group: Group identifier assigned to the i-Bean Gateway. All i-Bean Routers and i-Bean
Endpoints with the same Group identifier will communicate with the displayed i-Bean
Gateway.
• Version: Version of firmware loaded on the i-Bean Gateway.
Device Counts
This section displays the following information on the discovered network nodes:
• Total Nodes: Total combined number of discovered i-Bean Endpoint and i-Bean Router
nodes.
• Endpoints: Total number of i-Bean Endpoint nodes.
•Routers: Total number of discovered i-Bean Router nodes.
Node Details
This section displays the following information related to the i-Bean Endpoint and i-Bean Router
nodes on the network:
• Typ e: This column lists all nodes discovered on the network that are assigned the same
Group ID as the displayed i-Bean Gateway. Nodes displayed here include i-Bean Endpoints
(EP) and i-Bean Routers (RT).
• Device: Unique identifier assigned each node. The identifier consists of two octets (A.B),
where each octet contains a value between 000 and 255.
•Label: User-defined name assigned to node.
• Status: Current status of the device:
– Online: The node is communicating with the i-Bean Gateway.
– Offline: The i-Bean Gateway can no longer communicate with the node.
– Queued: The node, when it first comes into the network, is waiting to be
acknowledged by the i-Bean Gateway.
– Late: Packet from node is delayed (possible route interference).
– Refresh: The node is being updated with a new operating state.
• Last Msg: Time elapsed since last packet was received from the node. Time is displayed in
seconds (s).
