• Only available in online mode

Network Statistics

• Shows a view of all the traffic within the network as your selected node sees it.  

• When you initiate this service, you have the option to view the entire network or one other selected node through this "node’s eye view".  

• Checking the "Reset All Nodes" option clears all previous network responses in the statistics screen.

- NOTE: This services requires a network node be designated as a point of reference before you monitor the network.

NUP Port Statistics

• Displays the total number of messages transmitted to and from an individual node on the network.

Network Test

• Runs a communication test between selected nodes on the network.  

• The test procedure will be aborted if a real event occurs anywhere on the network.

• There should be no activity on the network before performing the test.

• Software Versions need to be correct

• Network needs to be in style 4

• Verfire needs to be connected to an end node

• MUST know the network layout (which node is connected to which)

• Can debug by building network out or breaking network down

Network Test

• Make sure the wire is good before replacing parts

• For the worst case scenario build a network out node by node

• A network is not considered reliable if the network test fails

• All nodes on the network should pass the network tests

• Errors are only caught if they occur while a test is in progress.
