"Receive Monitor" to view scanner reception statistics, variable mapping and message logs; "Client" to view connected scanners.
Verify the configuration
Let the field device send a test message; a new reception record should appear in "reception monitoring", and the corresponding variable value and collection time should be updated synchronously.
Troubleshooting
- There are no new messages in receiving monitoring: Confirm that the field device is actively reporting, and check the monitoring channel, message format, and variable field mapping.
- The device is not connected: Confirm that the device has actively connected to the gateway listening address and port, and check the firewall permission rules.
