Maintenance and diagnostics The NW8204 diagnostic tool 9.4.5 9 Using log files NK823x units can be configured by Composer to log data about network communications on a mass storage device (SD card or USB mass storage device; see Network Connectivity Guide, document no.A6V10359485). If this is the case, NW8204 allows uploading the log data and configuring on the fly the logging function. Note: The unit is equipped with a 16 GB SD card. Uploading log data To upload the log data, do the following: 1.
9 Maintenance and diagnostics The NW8204 diagnostic tool Configuring the log upload Uploading log data Note: If the data upload procedure takes too long to be accomplished, click the Abort Log Upload button to abort the procedure. Note: The log file can be imported as CSV file to a spreadsheet application in order to be analyzed by expert users (Technical Support).
Maintenance and diagnostics The NW8204 diagnostic tool 9 WARNING Removing the USB key while the logging is enabled (without using the Safely Remove command) may cause the unit to restart or block (a manual restart is then needed). Always use the Safely Remove command before removing the USB memory device! Note: If you use the SD card as default log storage, removing a USB mass storage device temporarily set as the active log storage does not automatically set again the SD card as the active log storage.
9 Maintenance and diagnostics The NK823x Web Server Configuring logging function on the fly Note: Resetting the unit restores the original logging configuration saved in Composer. 9.5 The NK823x Web Server The NK823x Web Server provides diagnostic information about the NK823x (to access the NK823x Web Server, see NK823x Web Server [➙ 51]): In the welcome page an image of the NK823x shows an animation representing the current status of the LEDs (off, on, or blinking).

Note: You can log in to the NK8000 Web tool in the following ways: - Guest user (default): user name = “guest” / password = “guest” (read-only privileges, automatic login). - Administrative user: call customer support for username and password (read/write privileges).
Maintenance and diagnostics The NK8000 Web Server tool 9 Pop-up command menu for a single NK82xx branch Send commands to a specific NK82xx by clicking the Commands icon and then selecting the command in the pop-up menu. The command list includes: – Build Identification: Start a CEI 97-5 identification procedure. – Get Version: Get and display the NK82xx version. – Out scan: Set the NK82xx unit out of scan. After that, the In Scan command will be available.
9 Maintenance and diagnostics The NK8000 Web Server tool Filtering and searching the NK82xx list The upper frame presents two selection fields to filter and select branches respectively. Filter the NK82xx list by selecting one of the options in the Filter by list and clicking Apply filter. Filtering NK82xx branches Search and mark a specific NK82xx unit by selecting one of the searching options and entering the value to search.
Maintenance and diagnostics Correcting communication failures 9 Searching and marking NK82xx branches by name 9.7 9.7.1 Correcting communication failures NK82xx generated a fault If an NK82xx generates a fault, there may be one or more causes. The problem may be in the NK82xx unit, or in the NK82xx connection to the DMS8000 system. Check the NK82xx Check power, vital function, and diagnostic state on the respective LED, which is located on the front panel of NK82xx.
9 Maintenance and diagnostics Correcting communication failures 9.7.2 Control unit generated a fault If a control unit generated a fault, the problem may be in the connectivity between one of the control units (or subsystems) and the NK8000. Check network connections 9.7.3 CerCom/LON (CS6 Guarto only) The LON networks are sensitive to improper termination.
Maintenance and diagnostics Correcting communication failures 9 Note: If these settings are incorrect, you will have no communication in runtime, though no error message will be generated. 9.7.5 No fault generated by network failure - MP3.15 and higher If you do not receive a fault from an NK8000 when a network failure has occurred, or if there is a long delay before you receive the fault, decrease the Timer for Micro Interruptions Threshold communication parameter. Note: Default value is 0 sec.
10 Secure operation requirements 10 Secure operation requirements The security of systems requires appropriate planning and proper organizational procedures. Please review the following basic checklist of the issues to consider: Physical Security Access to the room and/or areas where the communication units and control stations are installed should be reserved to authorized personnel, and/or adequate protection should be put in place on the computers to prevent potential attacks or sabotage.
