Diagnostics

Presentation

Diagnostics data provides statistical data about the Panel Server and connected devices. The events are gathered by type of application: cloud connection, Modbus Serial network, and wireless network.

Availability

This function is available on Panel Server Entry, Universal, and Advanced.

Setting the Parameters

Diagnostics are set on the Panel Server webpages:
