As shown in Figure 20, the Pan Sheet is an available view on a SedonaJen6lpNetwork—note this view is unique to the SedonaJen6lpNetwork.
This view is a diagnostic tool that can graphically show the “self healing tree structure” of the underlying JenNet wireless network, along with associated “PAN info” statistics stored in the (JACE) coordinator and any devices operating as “router” nodes. Included in statistics is the radio “Link Quality”, representing strength of last packet received. The (JACE) coordinator node is always at the top of the network tree.
Nodes in the view’s top pane are selectable, with context-sensitive PAN info data about neighbor nodes (children and/or parent) shown in the table at the view bottom. Data from router nodes is retrieved by the “PanInfo Poller” mechanism of the SedonaJen6lpNetwork (once enabled), or by explicit “Load Pan Info” actions. Related PAN info actions are on the network component, as well as any SedonaJen6lpDevice component.
Usage requires installing one or more Sedona Framework kits in router-capable devices (only), and some minimal app configuration
in those devices. Additionally, in the station each SedonaJen6lpDevice should have its “Device Type” property set (from the
default “Unknown”) to either “Router” (if a router-capable device) or “End Device” if not capable of router operation. Note
that PAN info polling is not recommended for continuous operation, as it consumes network bandwidth. However, you can still
use the Pan Sheet without polling, using the “Load All Pan Info” action on the SedonaJen6lpNetwork. In general, Pan Sheet
usage is helpful for initial network setup and/or troubleshooting communications problems.
