Network Status
The Network Status dialog box can only be accessed when you are connected to an RTU. From the Online window you can view the Net Status of the Protocol Port. On the far left of the online window, there are three boxes labeled PLC, Printer, and Aware. These represent the corresponding LEDs on the Front Panel of the RTU for NET 1, 2, and 3. To view the Net Status for the Modbus PLC, click once on the PLC box.
