MeshScape Network Monitor Overview
• RX Packets: Number of packets successfully delivered to MeshScape Network Monitor
from a node since the node was detected by the MeshGate. The counter is reset if one of
the following actions occur:
– The node is powered down.
– The MeshGate is powered down.
– MeshScape Network Monitor program is restarted.
• Up/Down Time: Total time since the node was last detected on/off by the MeshGate.
• Hop Count: Number of network node hops taken by a packet delivered from a node to
the MeshGate. For example: end node—MeshGate = 1 hop,
end node—mesh node—MeshGate = 2 hops (each additional mesh node will add another
hop).
• First Hop: Device ID of the first mesh node on the path used by a packet to get to the
MeshGate. If no mesh node was used, then the field is blank, indicating the device is
communicating directly with the MeshGate.
• Last Hop: Device ID of the last mesh node on the path used by a packet to get to the
MeshGate. If no mesh node was used, then the field is blank, indicating the device is
communicating directly with the MeshGate.
• Volt: DC voltage level of the node’s power source in volts.
• ADC Data: Input voltages on pins used for analog-to-digital conversion operation.
• DIO Data: Digital information on pins used for digital I/O operation.
• Serial Data: Input serial data information when configured for serial operation.
• Version: Version of firmware loaded on the node.
