Network Diagnostic Information The Network Device

Command Center provides detailed network statistics to

help in diagnosing network problems. Information is available

on a port-by-port basis so problem communications can

be easily isolated. The parameters most commonly used in

troubleshooting network issues such as dropped packets are

consolidated on a single display and the information needed

is right at your fingertips so troubleshooting the DeltaV network is easy.

Smart Switch Commissioning

Commissioning is done from a DeltaV workstation after the

switch is placed in service. Commissioning the switches after

they are installed creates the interface between DeltaV and

the switch that gains the full benefit of using the Smart Switch.

Commissioning allows the advanced switch setup parameters in

the switch to be preconfigured so they only have to be entered

once for the system. These parameters only have to be changed

if the default settings need to be modified.
