4.2.3 Network Status
Figure 8a - RS-485
Figure 8b - Wi-Fi
Information on the advanced status screen is broken into four groups:
•
RS-485 Settings:
-
Mode: This indicates the programmed network mode (TCSbus or BACnet MS/TP).
-
Device ID: The programmed device instance number. Device instance numbers are specific to BACnet MS/TP and are
not used in the TCSbus protocol.
-
Name:
The programed device name.
-
Address:
The programmed device address.
-
Baud Rate:
The programmed device baud rate.
•
Wi-Fi Settings:
-
Mode: Always BACnet IP
-
Device ID:
The programmed device instance number for BACnet network.
-
Name:
The programed device name.
-
Port:
UDP used for BACnet communication.
•
RS-485 or Wi-Fi Status:
-
Link: Indicates the overall status of the network connection. This consists of both an indicator light and associated
text. Touching the text brings up a dialog box with additional status information. The following states may be shown:
⸰ Connected (Green): The UbiquiSTAT has detected a valid network connection. For BACnet MS/TP, this means that the
device has successfully joined the token ring. For TCSbus, this means the device has received a valid message from
the network.
⸰ Troubleshoot (Yellow): The UbiquiSTAT is able to communicate, but is detecting problems with the network that may
cause the communication to be unreliable. Check the RS-485 wiring and network configuration on other devices.
⸰ Disconnected (Red): The UbiquiSTAT has not detected a valid network connection. For BACnet MS/TP this means the
device has not joined the token ring. For TCSbus this means the device has not received a valid message from the
network.
-
Activity: There are two indicator lights; one for data received (Rx), and one for data transmitted (Tx). These lights blink
whenever data is received or transmitted to or from the device respectively. They are useful as a basic diagnostic in
determining whether data is flowing across the network.
-
Rx Traffic: This is a statistic that indicates how much network traffic has been received by the UbiquiSTAT. Shown
are both the number of messages and the total number of bytes. This number should be increase whenever the
thermostat is monitored or programed via the network (Gateway and/or Ubiquity Cloud).
-
Tx Traffic: This is a statistic that indicates how much network traffic has been transmitted by the UbiquiSTAT. Shown
are both the number of messages and the total number of bytes. This number should be increase whenever the
thermostat is monitored or programed via the network (Gateway and/or Ubiquity Cloud).
-
Last Traffic: This shows the time stamp of the last time network traffic was received by the UbiquiSTAT.
