Analyzing a Power Line Repeating Network
When running on a power line repeating network, the Segment Controller
transmits network messages to the repeating devices with which it can directly
communicate, and those repeating devices in turn relay the messages to
repeating devices located further down the power line, and so on until the
message reaches the target device. Figure 2 on page 5 illustrates a repeating
chain that could be used to relay a network management command from the
Segment Controller to a target device. A luminaire enabled for repeating would
use power line repeating. A CRD 3000 Street Light Bridge module could use
power line repeating or forward the message using an RF channel to another
CRD 3000 Street Light Bridge module.
You can use the Power Line Repeating Analysis Web page to view the repeating
chain a device is using to communicate with the Segment Controller. In addition,
you can use this Web page to analyze and debug the power line repeating
network.
To open and use the Power Line Repeating Analysis Web page, perform the
following steps:
1. Right-click the Segment Controller icon, select Setup, and select Power
Line Repeating Analysis from the shortcut menu. Alternatively, you
can click the Tools icon and select Power Line Repeating Analysis.
2. The Power Line Repeating Analysis Web page opens.
The rows in this Web page represent established repeating paths between
the listed devices. The target device in a repeating chain is listed
