LockNodes - WaveNet

You can identify a communication problem (failed connection attempt) by a red W in the LSM (see Monitoring the devices in the network). If the communication problem persists even after repeated connection attempts, this can have a number of causes:

  • Radio shadow through open door
  • Routing problem between CommNode server and RouterNode
  • Communication problem between CommNode server and RouterNode, e.g. due to blocked port 2101
  • (Partial) network failure, e.g. due to defective switches
  • Temporarily suspended IP allocation, e.g. due to maintenance work in the network
  • Low batteries

You can easily check the battery condition yourself.

Signalling

The signalling of the battery status depends on the LockNode used (see Signalling the operating status).

Warning monitor (LSM)

The LSM includes a warning monitor (Reports, entry Warning monitor. You will see battery warnings for all locking devices used in the locking system. To use this function effectively, you need a task that regularly tests the battery status of your networked LockNodes.
