Route Status buttons
The Route Status buttons are useful for diagnosing routing and network problems.
Send I-Am-Router-To-Network Broadcasts to all networks that the router is on the network.
This can trigger internetwork wide updates.
Clear Direct Network Status Forces the status of all direct networks to Active. If a network
problem continues after clearing the direct networks, the networks with problems will return
to a status other than Active.
Purge Remote Networks Removes all remote routes from the network table.
Send Who-Is-Router-to-Network Initiates a query to other routers that results in the
discovery of other networks. Other routers respond with a BACnet I-Am-Router-To-Network
message.
Clear Remote Networks Forces the status of all remote networks to Active. If a problem
continues with a remote network, it will return to a status other than Active.
Send Sequence Sequentially broadcasts the three commands Purge, Clear, and Send I-Am-
Router-To-Network.
Route Status list
The Routing Status list is a diagnostic display of all networks known to the router. Both direct
and remote networks are listed.
l
Direct (or local) networks are connected directly to the router.
l
Remote networks are on the other side of one or more remote routers. The path to a
remote network always includes at least one directly connected network.
Each of the columns lists information about local or remote networks.
Tip: If a directly connected network is shown to have a problem, the remote networks that
connect to it will also show problems. Correct directly connected network problems before
troubleshooting remote network problems.
Status The status of each network known to the router. See the table Route status
conditions for a description of each condition.
Net The columns under Net will change modes depending on the setting of Use Learned
Networks on the Routing Status page on page 42 .
Destination The Destination is always the network number the router is using.
l
If Use Learned Networks is enabled, this is the learned network number.
l
If Use Learned Networks is not enabled, this is the network number entered for
the port on the Configuration page.
Configured (Use Learned Networks enabled) The network number that is configured
for the port on the Configuration page. If this number is different than the Destination
network, the network number is in red.
