ALARM NOTIFICATION (SEC): An alarm notification email can be sent to all email recipients each
time the alarm status of a device connected to the Node changes. To reduce the number of emails,
this interval in seconds dictates the minimum time between consecutive emails. Alarm emails are
disabled by entering an interval of 0. Press GO to enter any change.
ALARM DWELL TIME (SEC): An alarm dwell time can be set in seconds to reduce the number of
emails sent by the Node. An email message will only be sent when the changed alarm state has
lasted longer than the dwell time. If the alarm state changes during the dwell time, the dwell timer
is reset. Press GO to enter any change.
ALARM MASK: 1, 2, 3, 4: Check any boxes 1, 2, 3, 4 to receive alarm email mail notifications
from any alarms 1, 2, 3, 4 the selected devices connected to the Node. If the device is one of our
meters (DPM or counter), it can have 2 or 4 alarms. If it is one of our LT or LTE transmitters, it
will have 2 solid state alarms. Not all alarms may be of interest for email notification. To remove
an alarm from alarm email notifications, uncheck that alarm. Press GO to enter any change.
DATA EMAIL INTERVAL (SEC): The data readings of all devices connected to the Node are emailed
to all email addresses in the Node at this selected time interval. Data emails are disabled by
entering an interval of 0. Press GO to enter any change.
URL REFRESH (SEC): This is the time interval in seconds at the root pages for Node Discovery
and Device Discovery self-refresh, thereby showing the latest Node and device discovery status.
The default value is 16 seconds. Press GO to enter any change.
Include 4,800/9,600/19,200 BAUDs when searching for devices? This selection applies to the
discovery of Devices on the RS485 bus attached to an LNET485 or LTNET485 Ethernet-to-RS485
Device Server Node. The Devices on the RS485 bus can each have their own communication
setting (baud rate, parity, protocol, and digital address). They can be discovered if they have the
same baud rate setting as the Device Server Node (from 300 or 19200 baud) or a baud rate of
4800, 9600 or 19200 baud, if different. If NO is selected, only the Device Server Node’s baud rate
is included in the search for Devices. If YES is selected, 4800, 9600 and 19200 baud are also used
in the search for Devices. Press GO to enter any change.
Up to 247 digital addresses are included in the search unless a more limited range of addresses
has been programmed into the Node using Node Manager Software to speed up Device discovery.
Force all Laurel devices to the Node’s communication setting? All devices attached to an
LNET485 or LTNET485 Ethernet-to-RS485 Device Server Node can have their own communication
settings (baud rate, parity, protocol, and digital address). Select YES to force all discovered
devices on a device server Node to the Node’s communication settings, otherwise select NO.
Press GO to enter any change.
