The following information can also be obtained from the Fixtures tab:

Missing: Displays a list of Fixtures that have been disconnected since the system was

powered on.

Errors:

Displays a list of disabled Fixtures and lists the error that the Engine detected.

Warnings: Shows Fixtures that are working under conditions that the Engine considers

unusual. For example, a warning is raised if plugged-in ports are not located

side-by-side on an Engine.

Good:

Displays all Fixtures that are neither missing, nor in error or warning states.

The Ports tab allows a user to view a port’s configuration data, its error status, and other

channels connected to the same Fixture. Click a numbered port to view this data.

Redwood Support Page

The Redwood Support Page is another method to verify system health. This page may be

accessed during a support call since it contains a number of important links that gather

system statistics. There is an identical page on the Director and every Engine, and it is

necessary to point your browser to the Engine’s name/IP address to access the support page.

Navigate to: https:///support.html

The Tech Support Page is broken up into 6 major sections:

Configuration

1.

Statistics

2.

Actions

3.

Logs

4.

Other

5.

Basic Support Info

6.

Of these, the Download Support Data link from within the “Other” section is the most

important and will likely be requested by Redwood Support as part of a support call.

Configuration Section

The Configuration section contains links to manage the configuration file (how the Redwood

Manager stores settings). The two most important links on this section are the Download

Configuration and Restore Configuration.

The Download Configuration link copies the configuration file to your local computer. It is

recommended that you save this configuration file before making large changes to the

commissioning so that you can then restore in the event that it is needed.

Restoration of the configuration is done with the Restore Configuration link. There are four

links pertaining to Adapter/Fixture configurations. These should only be used as directed by

Redwood Support as they modify how an Adapter/Gateway is programmed and, if used

incorrectly, can result in Fixtures that do not discover correctly.
