Figure 7.9 – Status Settings
The connection status can change in the following two ways:
1 If the overall percentages of failures is greater than the threshold.
Note
If 28 of the last 100 attempts have failed, and the warning threshold is 20 percent,
then the failure rate is 28 percent and the status will be set to “Warning.”
2 If consecutive failures occur (this can cause the status to change regardless of the over-
all failure rate).
Note
If a connection has succeeded on all of the last 100 attempts, but the sensor suf-
fers a power failure and all attempts begin failing, instead of waiting for the overall
failure rate to take effect, the consecutive failures threshold will be applied and the
status will change.
The Status Settings section allows you to set the following sensor connection thresholds:
˽ Sensor Warning Threshold Percentage – Shows the percentage of the last 100 connec-
tion attempts that must fail in order for the sensor status to be set to “Warning.”
˽ Sensor Error Threshold Percentage – Shows the percentage of the last 100 connection
attempts that must fail in order for the sensor status to be set to “Error.” The Sensor
Status Interval Count and Sensor Error Threshold Percentage fields will control how
easily and often a sensor will be marked as an error. High count and threshold per-
centages will tend to decrease the percentage of sensors in error status; low count and
threshold percentages will tend to increase the percentage of sensors in error status.
˽ Consecutive Failures Warning Threshold – Shows the number of consecutive failed
connection attempts that need to occur for the status to change to “Warning.”
