7-10 Xpanel User Manual
Operating panels in Production mode
• N OT CONNECTED : While the network connection is good, the operator has disconnected
Xpanel (closed the communication port) by using the F ORCE DISCONNECT OF < DEVICE _ NAME >
command.
• L OST CONNECTION : The network connection was good, but something has caused that
connection to fail (e.g. network goes down or network cable disconnected). Xpanel
automatically tries to re-establish the network connection. If the connection is re-
established, then the status changes to G
OOD C ONNECTION . However, if the connection
cannot be re-established, then the status changes to B AD C ONNECTION .
• B AD CONNECTION : Xpanel cannot connect to the specified device through the network
connection. This may indicate that the network is down, the wrong IP address is
specified for the device, or the network cable is disconnected. Once the problem is
resolved, use the R
ECONNECT ALL USED DEVICES command to reconnect Xpanel to the
device.
Operators can connect and disconnect devices listed in the Connection Monitor by right-
clicking on a device’s heading and selecting the following commands:
•
R ECONNECT ALL USED DEVICES : Attempts to reconnect all listed devices whose state
reads N OT CONNECTED .
• F ORCE DISCONNECT OF < DEVICE _ NAME >: Allows the operator to disconnect a device
from Xpanel, which closes the communication but not the physical connection between
Xpanel and the device. The device’s state changes from G
OOD CONNECTION to N OT
CONNECTED when this command is used. Use the R ECONNECT ALL USED DEVICES
command to reconnect the device.
