Issue
Link Summary Indicator in Netcon during Equalization
Environment
Netcon
Cause
During equalization, when a Client is connected to the File master, who is either directly or over Ethernet connected to the system, a – sign is displayed in the cnf column in Network Configuration, Link Summary. Normally, this indicates that there is no communications from the Client PC to the controllers. However, if you penetrate the link you are able to see all the controllers and their sub-lan devices.
Resolution
In order to get rid of the – sign in the cnf column, the following steps needs to be followed:
- Shut I/NET and I/O Server down on the Client
- Open Windows Explorer and browse to C:/Program Files/INET Seven/Data folder and delete all files with .dat extensions
- Restart I/NET and I/O Server again
- Go to Edit/Host Computer/Network Configuration and in the Link Summary, the – sign in the cnf column would be gone
Note: The dat files will get rebuilt when I/NET is restarted.
