The Sedona Jen6lp Device Manager is the default view on a SedonaJen6lpNetwork, used to discover, add, and edit SedonaJen6lpDevice components that represent wireless Jennic-based devices.
This view operates similar to the device manager in other NiagaraAX drivers that provide online discovery (Learn Mode)—see
“About the Device Manager” in the NiagaraAX Drivers Guide for general information. Included are available “device folders” using the button, where each folder has its own Sedona Jen6lp Device Manager view. Also provided is the ability to discover and then
a
discovered device to an existing (and possibly replicated) SedonaJen6lpDevice component.
Starting in Sedona TXS-1.2, an button is also available when any single Jen6lpDevice is selected. For related details, see Sedona device Association.
Other details on the Sedona Jen6lp Device Manager are in the following sections:
When you click . to enter learn mode, and the “Sedona Learn Devices job” runs, it is different than most other drivers, as this does not initiate
online messaging. Instead, the learn job reads the “Address Map” entries (mapped IPv4 addresses) of the SedonaJen6lpNetwork
component, and for any listed as “ok” (Joined), they appear in the top Discovered pane of the view. See Figure 38.
Typically you initially add device components by their default name, for example “dev 172.16.1.2”, and then later rename the devices going by your recorded list of MAC addresses that associates each to a particular known device (and installed location).
For step-by-step details on using this view, see Discover and add SedonaJen6lpDevices.
The Sedona Jen6lp Device Manager has a tabular Database pane at all times, and while in “Learn Mode”, above that a Discovered pane, as shown in Figure 38.
Currently the only data column in the Discovered pane is:
Address
Remapped IPv4 address of each Jennic-based device, from the dynamically created entries under the SedonaJen6lpNetwork’s “Address Map” container slot.
Table columns in the Database pane of the Sedona Jen6lp Device Manager (by default) include the following:
Name
Niagara name for the device. Default is “dev IPv4 address
”, for example: dev 198.162.1.4
Type
Always “Sedona Jen6lp Device” (cannot modify).
Exts
Points extension for the device — double-click for its Sedona Point Manager view.
Address
Remapped IPv4 address of the Jennic-based device.
Status
Device component status, typically “ok” but possibly “fault” (license or other issue) or “down”.
Health
“Ok” or “Fail” with timestamp of last device monitor ping. Fail typically coincides with a down status.
Fault Cause
Typically blank, unless health is Fail, where any available “Fault Cause” string appears.
App File
The currently associated Sedona app file in the station’s Sedona “app store” file space for this device. Initially, this is “App File Not Configured” for a newly-added device. For related details, see Sedona device Association.
Not included by default, but available in the Table Options (menu) of the Database pane, are items “Enabled” and “Credentials”.
