About Pan Sheet graphical representations

Nodes in Pan Sheet

Each device node appears with a shape including its 802.15.4 MAC address (e.g. 00158d00:0009b50b) and the NiagaraAX component name (or display name) of the SedonaJen6lpDevice component.

Node icons used in shapes and the bottom table vary by “device type”, as follows:

  • Coordinator (only one, at top) — For the JACE controller with Sedona Jennic option card.

  • Router — For a router-type device, specified in “Device Type” of the SedonaJen6lpDevice.

  • End Device — For an end device (or hibernating device) type, also specified in “Device Type.”

  • Unknown — A device with its SedonaJen6lpDevice component’s “Device Type” property at “unknown” (default). Open the device’s property sheet, and set to either “Router” or “End Device”.

If a fully operational (connected) network, nodes in the top pane should all be connected within the node tree structure, with the coordinator at top. Each node should have only one parent (connection), and may optionally have one or more child connections to other nodes below.

Note it is possible for devices to appear in the Pan Sheet view not connected within the node tree—these devices are currently unconnected to the coordinator.

Also, one or more devices may be marked “down”, which is indicated inside a node’s shape:

Links in Pan Sheet

Each link between nodes is indicated with a single connection line between node shapes, between the parent (top) node and the child (lower) node.

Connection lines are either green for strong links or yellow for weaker links.
