data point updates; however, it does not process them. Instead, the offline device
transmits default values for its data points. In addition, an offline device can
still process commission, decommission, set online, query status, clear status,
wink, and reset commands.
Note: Setting a device offline can affect the performance of the power line
repeating network, particularly if the device is being used as a repeating agent in
a repeating chain. If a repeating agent is placed offline, it could cause
communication failures for multiple devices. In addition, setting a device offline
can affect network performance if the device was polling prior to its being set
offline.
CRD 3000 Street Light Bridge modules continue to forward messages when
offline.
To set a device offline, perform the following steps:
1. Select one or more devices to place offline. To select one device, click that
device. To select multiple devices, click one device and then either hold
down CTRL and click all other devices to be installed or hold down
SHIFT and select another device to place the entire range of devices
offline.
2. From the Setup tab, right-click a selected device, select Manage, and
select Set Offline.
Alternatively, you can change the Application Status property to
Application Stopped (Offline) in the from the Setup tab of the device
Web page, which appears when you select devices in step 1.
3. The Segment Controller places the devices in the soft offline state (the
device has an application loaded and is configured, but it is offline). The
offline devices are highlighted red in the Segment Controller tree and in
the Power Line Repeating Analysis Web page.
