AES Corporation 38 40-7788, Rev 6, August 30, 2016
4.11 Display Zone Status
HandHeld Programmer: <Ctrl>+<Z> PC Terminal: <Ctrl>+<Z>
Use this function to review the current state of each of the Subscribers Zone inputs
based on its programming and input state.
Zx##,Z1-8:####-####
Zx## - This is a Hexadecimal number representing the binary bit pattern of the
Zones input condition. I.e. Hexadecimal 12 = binary 00010010. Bit positions 2 and 5
are 1 indicating that those zone positions are in alarm.
Z1-8: The row of characters represents in order, each individual zone state.
####-#### - Each character represents the Status of a specific zone, displayed
left to right for zones 1 to 8, separated between position 4 and 5 with a hyphen.
Possible Values - 0 = Normal, 1 = Faulted, Not Normal or Alarm, T = Trouble.
4.12 Display Routing Table
HandHeld Programmer: <F4> PC Terminal: <Ctrl> <T>
Use this function to display up to the 8 ID’s that are listed in this Subscriber’s current
Routing Table.
4.5678,L:02,N:5,Q:83 unit 5678, Weak signal (8x)
3.7888,L:01,N:5,Q:03 unit 7888, Good Signal
2.BB12,L:00,N:0,Q:03 an IP-Link BB12, Good Signal (03)
1.AA11,L:00,N:0,Q:03 an IP-Link AA11, top of the list = RT1
Press F4 on a HHP or Ctrl + T on a PC to display Routing Table information. Only up to the
top 4 are visible due to limitations of the HHP’s 4-line display. A PC displays the entire
table up to 8. The order is reversed so that the most significant top 4 will remain on the
display of the HHP where 5 through 8 would have scrolled off.
Fields displayed left to right are, Preference or sort order (1.-8.), ID, Link Layer or Level:##,
NetCon:# (0-7), Signal Quality:## (03 = Best , 81 = worst)
Routing Table – A Routing Table is a list of up to 8 IDs that a Subscriber maintains for
selecting the ID to pass its data packets on through. It is sorted so that the best ID is at
Preference location 1. If no Packet Acknowledge is received after attempting transmissions
to the #1 seven times, the #1 ID is removed from the Table and all other’s preferences are
incremented by 1. Transmission attempts resume using the new Preference 1 ID.
Link Layer or Level – Link Layer as reported by last transmission from ID. Value
displayed in the table will be incremented by 1 if the Signal Quality is not “Good” or there
are faults reported by the ID. Link Layer is the number of hops a data packet would need
