MeshGate
This section displays the following information on the MeshGate connected to the host PC’s
RS-232 port:
•Com Port: Host PC’s RS-232 port connected to MeshGate.
• ID: Device identifier assigned to the MeshGate. The ID consists of two octets (A.B), where
each octet’s value = 160 to 255.
• Group: Group identifier assigned to the MeshGate. All Mesh Nodes and End Nodes with
the same Group identifier will communicate with the displayed MeshGate.
• Version: Version of firmware loaded on the MeshGate.
Device Counts
This section displays the following information on the discovered network nodes:
•Total: Total combined number of discovered End Nodes and Mesh Nodes.
• End nodes: Total number of End Nodes currently online.
• Mesh nodes: Total number of discovered Mesh Nodes currently online.
•Offline: Total number of discovered end nodes and mesh nodes currently offline.
Sensor Node Details
This section displays the following information related to the End Nodes and Mesh Nodes on
the network:
• Device ID: Unique identifier assigned each node. The identifier consists of two octets
(A.B), where each octet contains a value between 001 and 255.
• Typ e : This column lists all nodes discovered on the network that are assigned the same
group ID as the displayed MeshGate. Nodes displayed here include End Nodes (EN) and
Mesh Nodes (MNEN) or (MN) for Mesh Nodes without I/O capabilities.
•Label: User-defined name assigned to node via MeshScape Network Monitor application.
• Status: Current status of the device:
– Online: The node is communicating with the MeshGate.
– Offline: The MeshGate can no longer communicate with the node.
– Refresh: The node is being updated with a new operating state.
• Last Msg: Time elapsed since last packet was received from or transmitted to the node.
Time is displayed in seconds (s).
• Interval: Time of the last message generated by a node. This value is synchronized with
the sampling interval of the node. Time is displayed in either seconds (s) or minutes (m).
