SYMPHOLIGHT Gateway BACnet — Information for Use
| Web interface: operation and functions
You can select two options (check boxes) for restarting:
• Complete system restart (takes approx. 1 minute):
Automatically selected when changing certain system settings.
• Delete trendlog data
Deletes all data collected up to this point, e.g.
BACnet Trendlog data
. This is necessary to conduct a
smooth restart without collected test data during commissioning.
If neither of the two options is selected, a simple restart of the communication software is carried out
(duration: approx. 10 seconds).
If a restart is carried out due to a software update, it can take up to 4 minutes.
Click
[Restart]
again and confirm the information dialogue.

General information on the driver menu areas
Every installed communication driver is listed as a separate menu item in the upper menu bar. The first sub-
menu item on the left,
Status
, lists the current status of a driver’s data points. Some selected drivers also
have their own sub-menu, which you can use to adjust particular settings for that communication driver.
You can page through the data point list with the arrow key.
The
Page size
drop-down list allows you to define the maximum number of data points that can be displayed
at the same time (10, 50, 100, 250 or 500).
The
Update
drop-down list enables you to determine the time intervals at which the data point list is updated
automatically (---, 5, 10, 15, 30 or 60 sec).
Each data point has a unique address and name, as well as other properties such as current timestamp,
flags, type and value.
The meanings of the data point flags are as follows:
•
Valid value V
• Sensor fault F
• Incorrect data point E
• Local operator value L
• Set value / actual value automatic mode -
• Locked, cannot be changed at the moment O
• Upper limit warning W
• Upper limit alarm A

Once the gateway is fully configured, we recommend carrying
out a complete system restart, deleting all historical data. You
should then check if everything was booted properly. This
ensures that the gateway would restart properly even in the
event of a power failure.
