When you access the Pan Sheet view (right-click the network and select
-> ), this builds a graphical representation of the current JenNet tree, using available “PAN info” in the station.If for some reason station PAN info is missing about the coordinator and/or one or more known router devices, it is automatically retrieved again when building this view, as shown in the Figure 2 popup above.
When the view is built, it is split into two panes, top and bottom, as shown in Figure 3. If necessary, click and drag the separator bar between the two panes to resize.
Top pane shows the current node tree architecture, with coordinator node (JACE with Sedona Jennic option card) at the top. In the upper right corner, a node tree “thumbnail” appears if a large network, or if the pane is sized small. Click inside the thumbnail to steer the top pane to that area.
Click a node in the tree to select it (blue outline around node), or click the background to deselect all nodes for a “Pan Network”. (Initially the view has the coordinator node selected).
Click any connection line between two nodes to select it.
Different selections change the contents of the table in the bottom pane, see below.
Bottom pane reflects PAN info relative to selection (node, connection, or all nodes, “Pan Network”). Such data includes Link Quality (LQI number), Sent Packets and Dropped Packets.
For any one selected node in the top pane, the table shows PAN info about adjacent or “neighbor nodes”, both child nodes (if any) and its parent node.
End Device nodes do not show parent PAN info, only “0” or “N/A” for entries.
If no nodes are selected (click background), the table shows all nodes in the “Pan Network”, including node status or fault cause. Values are derived from when a single node is selected, where the link quality is an average, and the sent/dropped packets are sums.
Click on any table row to “blink” the text inside that node’s shape in the node tree above.
If a connection between nodes is selected in the top pane, related PAN info data are listed in both link directions, as well as an LQI average between (to and from) connection links.
