Unique ID used for this particular gateway network. Each field device must be configured with
this ID to join this gateway's wireless network. The gateway pushes this information to all
devices when changed if they are connected to the network.
Gateway's current common join key (password that allows devices to securely join wireless
network). Each device must be configured with this key to join this gateway's wireless network.
Toggles the method gateway uses to search for new network devices. Devices will join without
this feature however enabling this will make the process faster (automatically enabled if a
device drops offline).

Percentage of packets transmitted by a device and received by the gateway (100.0% reliability
indicates every expected data packet was received). This value represents reliability of the
wireless network to deliver data and is rounded to the nearest tenth. This is a lifetime statistic
that is reset via a gateway restart; it is possible to have a small number of late/missed updates
over a long time and still have 100.0% reliability.
Percentage of transmitted packets successfully reaching their destination over a given path (two
neighboring devices) calculated over the most recent 15-minute period. Network reliability is
always higher than path stability due to automatic re-transmission using multiple paths and
different RF channels.

Interval the field device transmits it’s measurement data to the gateway (set based on how often
the user wants the device to send data to the gateway). Some field devices burst multiple
messages and at different rates. Burst rates under one minute are reported in seconds white
rates one minute or greater are reported in hh:mm:ss. Also known as update rate.

Number of updates device has missed since initially joining the network or since user reset the burst
statistics. Missed updates can be caused by the device falling off line (e.g. during power module
replacement) or poor network reliability. Packets arriving late or out of sequence are also counted as
missed.
