added to a channel or their routing data is changed. is may be helpful for low bandwidth 852
channels. Select the new value and click the
Submit Changes button.
Serial Transaction Interval : is field sets the time interval between successive configuration
transactions when Serial Transaction Mode is enabled. e default is 1000 ms. is enables the
user throttle the rate at which configuration updates are sent out on the channel and thereby
manage traffic. is may be helpful for low bandwidth 852 channels. Enter the new value and
click the
Submit Changes button.
Loop Detect Interval : is value determines the number of milli-seconds between transmission of
a loop detection packet. A value of zero disables this feature. e default value is 5000 ms or 5
seconds. Setting this value to much below 1000 is not recommended. If the Loop Detection finds
a loop in the network routing, it will cause the GRouter to go unconfigured to prevent runaway
traffic. A loop is detected if the router receives its own loop detection message on the opposite
side of the router. e router will continue to send loop detection messages and will resume
operation once the loop condition is removed. Click
Submit Changes and the new value is
immediately in effect.
Loop Recover Retries : is value determines the number of unsuccessful retires of the loop
detection message before a loop condition is considered to have been remedied. e default is
three. e minimum allowed value is two. Click
Submit Changes and the new value is
immediately in effect.
Redundant Router Detect : ese radio buttons allow the user to enable or disable the detection of
redundant 852 routers on the 852 channel. When enabled, no CN data packets are forwarded to
any redundant routers. is prevents loops due to redundant routers from occurring. Click
Submit Changes and the new value is immediately in effect.
Loop Check on Boot : ese radio buttons allow the user to change the boot up mode of the router
with respect to loop detection. When enabled, the router will not forward CN data packets until
aer a loop check has completed and no loops were detected. is adds an additional delay at
boot-up before the router will begin forwarding packets. e length of the delay is equal to the
Loop Detect Interval times the number of Loop Recover Retries . When disabled, the router will
immediately begin forwarding packets on boot-up. Click Submit Changes and the new value is
immediately in effect.
Submit Changes : is button updates all the configuration information entered on the current
web page and refreshes the display.
Trigger Service Pin : is button causes a service pin message to be sent out both the 709.1 and IP
interfaces of the router. is can be used when commissioning the router remotely.
Register With Config Server : is button sends an 852 registration request to the config server.
is will usually add the device to the config server’s list of managed devices. Newer configuration
servers may not accept an unsolicited registration message from a device.
Launch Upgrade FTP Server : is button starts up the FTP server needed to perform field
upgrades of the GRouter device's firmware. A detailed description of the upgrade process is
provided in a later section.
