Channel Group 1 view
Use the
Channel Group 1
settings to:- Monitor the health status of each LAN on the Parallel Redundancy Protocol (PRP) network.
- Reset the diagnostic counter.
TIP:
The information is only available when online and Link Redundancy Entity (LRE) is enabled.
The Parallel Redundancy Protocol requires two separate physical networks to operate. These networks are labeled LAN A and LAN B.
Parameter | Description |
|---|---|
Network Mode | Shows that the device profile is online to a Parallel Redundancy Protocol (PRP) capable device. |
Diagnostics | Displays counters and status information for each LAN. |
Network Status | Displays the state of the LAN.
|
Network Fault Count | Displays the number of times the Network Status parameter changed from OK to Fault since the last Reset Counters operation or powerup. |
Transmit Count | Displays the number of PRP-tagged frames transmitted over each LAN since the last Reset Counters operation or powerup. |
Receive Count | Displays the number of PRP-tagged frames received on each LAN since the last Reset Counters operation or powerup. |
Wrong LAN Count | Displays the number of PRP-tagged frames received on the wrong LAN since the last Reset Counters operation or powerup. For example, a LAN A PRP-tagged frame is received on LAN B (or vice versa). Usually indicative of a wire cross-connected from LAN A to LAN B. |
Unique Entry Count | Displays the number of PRP-tagged frames received on one LAN, but not received on the other LAN, since the last Reset Counters operation or powerup. Usually indicative of a loss of connection or loss of frames on the other LAN. |
Duplicate Entry Count | Displays the number of PRP-tagged frames received on this LAN that were already received on another LAN since the last Reset Counters operation or powerup. Tip: This count increments during normal operation, and is not an indication of a fault. |
Multiple Entry Count | Displays the number of PRP-tagged frames for which multiple duplicates were received on each LAN since the last Reset Counters operation or powerup. Usually indicative of a misconfigured network (such as a routing loop). |
Refresh | Retrieves and displays the latest values from the device. |
Reset Counters | Sets the PRP counter values to zero and then refreshes the values with the current counter values. |
