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.
