Figure 15 Mesh statistics tab
Using the drop-down, the mesh statistics can be based on an Interval setting of All,
Last day, Last week, Last month or Last year.
In the main table each sensor occupies one row and is identified by a Name and a
Hardware ID. The statistics give an indication of the routing being taken by providing
Last parent name and Average hops to gateway. A guide to the ‘quality’ of the
routing is offered by way of Average link metric and Last parent link metric. Here
the metric is effectively the average number of attempts needed to make the
communication so a metric of 1 is ‘perfect’ and a metric of 7 would indicate a poor
quality routing that invoked the maximum number of retries allowed. The mesh
statistics are only updated when a particular sensor is communicating, the time/date
provided in the Last reading column will convey when that was.
Selecting a particular entry in the main table populates the Sensor parent history.
For the selected sensor this will show not just the last parent but all parents within the
selected interval. For each a Parent name, Parent average link metric and
Connection share (%) will be shown. The connection share shows the proportion of
the total connections that were made through that particular parent.
2.4 IMx-1 system configuration
2.4.1 Gateway
Being part of the mesh infrastructure, gateways are mostly configured in the
@ptitude Observer, IMx-1 system view. Select a gateway from the upper gateway
table/list then double click or right click and select properties or for a new gateway,
press New. When a new gateway is created, where appropriate, the properties of the
last gateway created/modified will be re-used.
