This tab shows standard properties for the LDAP Network driver.
Figure 353. Ldap Network view with Ldap Network tab
To access this tab, navigate to and double-click your LDAP network device driver row in the Remote Drivers view.
The view title, Ldap Network in this example (this name may be different in your system), displays in the top left corner above the Save and Drivers links.
LDAP Network tab
This tab turns the LDAP network on and off and reports network status.
| Property | Value | Description |
|---|---|---|
| Status | read-only | Reports "Issueable" until the badge is assigned, then it may be Active, Disabled, Lost or Unknown. |
| Enabled | true or false |
Turns the feature on (true) and off (false). |
| Fault Cause | read-only | Reports the reason why a network, component, or extension is in fault. Fault Cause is blank unless a fault exists. |
| Health | read-only | Reports the status of the network or component. This advisory information, including a time stamp, can help you recognize and troubleshoot network problems but it provides no direct network management controls. |
| Alarm Source Info | additional properties | Links to a set of properties for configuring and routing alarms. These properties are documented in the Alarm Setup topic of the PDF and in the help system (search for Alarm Source Info). |
| Ping Monitor | additional properties | Links to a set of properties for configuring the ping monitor (the mechanism for confirming the health of devices on the network).
Refer to Ping Monitor |
| Tuning Policies | additional properties | Links to a set of properties for configuring network tuning policies (rules for write and read requests from polling).
Refer to Ldap Network Tuning Policy |
Ping Monitor
Figure 354. Ping Monitor properties
| Property | Value | Description |
|---|---|---|
| Ping Enabled | true (default) or false |
Turns the use of the ping monitor on and off. |
| Ping Frequency | hours minutes seconds | Defines how frequently the system pings the server. |
| Alarm On Failure | true (default) or false |
Controls whether or not the system issues an alarm when a ping fails. |
| Startup Alarm Delay | hours minutes seconds | Defines a waiting period before the system issues an alarm when the ping fails. |
Ldap Network Tuning Policy
A network’s tuning policy defines rules for when to write to a writeable proxy point, and how to determine the freshness of a read request from polling.
| Property | Value | Description |
|---|---|---|
| Min Write Time | hours minutes seconds | Defines the minimum amount of time allowed between writes to a proxy point. Provides a method to throttle rapidly-changing values so that only the last value is written. A value of zero (the default) disables this property causing all value changes to attempt to write. |
| Max Write Time | hours minutes seconds | In case nothing else has triggered a write to a proxy point, defines the maximum amount of time the system waits before rewriting the value. A value of zero (the default) disables this property preventing timed rewrites. |
| Stale Time | hours minutes seconds; defaults to 0 (zero) | Defines the period of time after without a successful read (indicated by a read status of {ok}), after which a proxy point’s value becomes stale. The default value (zero) disables the stale timer causing points to become stale immediately when unsubscribed. |
