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 |
| ||
| 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. |
