C.3.1 Network Topology
Parent-Child Devices
The parent-child relationship between the devices in the wireless network is displayed using the directional arrows.
Orphan Devices
A device that is not linked with any other device in the wireless topology is an orphan device. The device is represented as an orphan
device due to one of the following reasons:
•
The device was originally a part of the wireless network and was dropped.
•
When the network topology was retrieved, the device detail was not retrieved.
•
The network connections are saturated and parent-child connection with the device is not established.
Class A Compliance
Each device must comply with Class A guidelines. Every device must have two parent devices to be compliant with the Class A guide-
lines.
Selecting a device from the graphical representation and clicking either left or right allows you to view the following details. The Net-
work Topology window allows you to click either left or right on any connected or orphan device.
C.3.2 History Events
History events of the wireless network can be retrieved and viewed using SWIFT Tools for troubleshooting purposes. This report pro-
vides information on when the device gets connected with the wireless network, mode change, and slot change details.
C.3.3 Network Snapshots
Network snapshots can be retrieved and viewed using SWIFT Tools for troubleshooting purposes. The network snapshot helps to ana-
lyze how the wireless network is functioning over a period of time.
C.3.4 Network Statistics
Network statistics of the wireless network can be retrieved and viewed using SWIFT Tools for troubleshooting purposes. The network
statistics provide information on the attributes and RSSI of a device. The attributes provide information on the retransmission count and
device re-join events. The retransmission count is the number of times a device retransmits the wireless signal. The device re-join events
is the number of times the devices get disconnected from the wireless network and get connected with the wireless network. The RSSI of
a device displays the parent-child relationship between the devices.
C.3.5 Device Attributes
Device attributes can be retrieved and viewed using SWIFT Tools for troubleshooting purposes. The attributes of a device such as low
indication, removal indication, level, tamper fault, and others are retrieved.
NOTE:
The device image in SWIFT Tools is altered to depict that it does not meet the required guidelines.
NOTE:
Class A guidelines are not applicable to the gateway.
