2.2.1.FieldServer Information – Settings Aspect

Parameter

Description

 

 

 

FieldServers have the ability to run as “multiple” FieldServers on

Tier

one platform.

To differentiate between the

different running

applications, each of the applications is referred to as a Tier with a

 

 

specific name.

 

 

FieldServer_Name

A name by which a FieldServer is identified - need not be unique.

N1 IP Address

The IP address of the N1 Ethernet Adapter.

 

N1 Netmask

Netmask of N1 Ethernet Adapter.

 

N1 Gateway 1

The IP address of the gateway that N1 Ethernet messages use if

the destination IP is not found on the local network.

 

N2 IP Address

The IP address of the N2 Ethernet Adapter.

 

N2 Netmask

Netmask of N2 Ethernet Adapter.

 

N2 Gateway 1

The IP address of the gateway that N2 Ethernet messages use if

the destination IP is not found on the local network.

 

Cache_Age_Limit

Maximum age of data in a cache Map Descriptor for immediate

response to poll. Default 5 minutes. See Error! Reference source

 

not found.

 

 

 

The time that the FieldServer maintains the port expanded polling in

Cache_Time_To_Live

Port Expander

Mode. Default 5 minutes.

See Configuration

 

Manual for more information.

 

Cache_Size

The maximum number of cache Map Descriptors allowed.

System_Node_ID

Use is driver dependent. Generally used to identify the FieldServer

as a node when it is configured as a server.

 

 

 

Network_number

Displayed where a protocol requires the FieldServer to be assigned

a network number (e.g. BACnet).

 

 

 

 

Where specified, this parameter defines the behavior of the standby

 

FieldServer in Hot Standby mode. In Mode 1 the FieldServer is

Hot_Standby_Mode

completely passive; in Mode 2 the standby FieldServer polls the

 

connected devices through alternate communication paths. Refer

 

to the Configuration Manual for more information.

Port_Expander_Mode

Indicates whether the port expander mode function is enabled or

not.

 

 

 

 

 

Cache_Map_Descriptor_

Default is two seconds.

 

If the value 65535 is displayed, then this is an error and it indicates

Scan_Interval

that there is no setting.

 

 

 

 

Primary or Secondary. On boot the primary tries to become the

Hot_Standby_Designation

active and the secondary tries to become the standby FieldServer.

This behavior may be different if the so called secondary

 

 

FieldServer gets re-booted first.

 

 

A name by which a pair of FieldServers configured as a Hot

Hot_Standby_Pair_Name

Standby pair is known. When one of a pair boots, it broadcasts a

message with its pair name in order to try and locate the other

 

 

FieldServer that forms the hot standby pair.
