The status web page is accessible by anyone on the LAN. It provides a visual guide to the
status of the ip.buffer, as well as more detailed information. Use the mouse to hover over
one of the coloured cells to show detailed information – that information will appear on
the right hand side of the page.
When first loaded, the status web page will automatically refresh every 5
seconds. If you need to freeze the automatic update, click on the “stop” radio
button at the bottom of the page.
7.1. Channel: Source
Green Connected
Amber Connected, but quiet
Red Not connected
White Source task not running 1 .
 When there are special services running on the source these are shown below
the source type
2 :
o
“
diagnostic
” - the COM port is in the RX/TX diagnostic mode
o
“
loopback
” - the COM port is in loopback mode
o
“
scripting
” - the channel is executing a temporary Lua script on the
source
o
“
passthru
” - the pass-through socket is connected and active.
o
“
processed
” - the channel has a Lua script processing incoming records.
7.2. Channel: Storage

Shows how much data is stored for the channel
 Shows when the last write occurred

Shows how much data has been lost (if the memory has been exceeded)
Some of the full NAND Flash storage area is reserved for firmware (4Mb),
configuration settings, encryption keys, certificates, bad flash blocks, etc.
Usable storage space will be approximately 5Mb less than the total. The web
status screen shows the true capacity available for data storage.
1 This can happen if the power supply is not providing a voltage within the specifications for running
the ip.buffer. If the ip.buffer boots with low volts it will prevent collection and delivery until the
supply reaches a suitable supply voltage. An email alert and SNMP trap are sent out in this
condition. Additionally, the System Status (section 7.5) will be red and show “Power: Low volts!!”
2 Firmware versions 2.81 and earlier show some of these conditions with cryptic symbols (e.g. “*”.
“∞”, etc). These symbols did not display correctly if the appropriate Unicode font was not installed.
Firmware 2.82 is now much clearer and work on all browsers.
