 About This Document
This document contains procedures for monitoring and maintaining a Honeywell OneWireless
system.
Honeywell does not recommend using devices for critical control, where there is a single point of
failure or where single points of failure result in unsafe conditions. The initial release of
OneWireless is targeted at open loop control, supervisory control, and controls that do not have
environmental or safety consequences. As with any process control solution, the end-user must
weigh the risks and benefits to determine if the products used are the right match for the
application based on security, safety, and performance. Additionally, it is up to the end-user to
ensure that the control strategy sheds to a safe operating condition, if any crucial segment of the
control solution fails.

 2. Managing the Key Server and Authentication
Device
2.1 About the key server tool
The following table describes the parameters for each of the Key Server’s functional
areas. Values for parameters in bold are supplied by the OneWireless/Experion server
and cannot be edited by the user.

Authentication Device – Configure AD tab

Network Parameters:

Default WFN_ID Default wireless field network identification. This parameter is used for
supporting multiple wireless networks within the same physical area. You
may edit this parameter when you initially deploy the system. The
WFN_ID is only a logical entity and is not associated with or loaded to
any of the real equipment.

For example: The devices on WFN ID 1 are part of only wireless

network 1, while devices on WFN ID 2 are part of only wireless network
2. This is similar to an SSID for an 802.11g network.

Freq Hopping ID Default value is zero. This parameter is not used in this release.

Freq Hopping Defines the frequency hopping pattern for the nodes in the wireless
Mode network. Criteria for selection:
• Select the mode that has the least overlap with the current
802.11b/g channels currently in use at your site, or
• Select the mode that has the least amount of in-band RF
interference.

For example: If a U.S customer’s legacy wireless system is already

using 802.11b/g channels #1 and #6 in his plant, he can select “US
Channel #11” for the Honeywell Wireless system to reduce any
interference between his 802.11b/g system and the Honeywell Wireless
system.

Network Profiles The NMD allows you to create and save profiles of networks
for future reference so that operators and maintenance
technicians can access it. A profile can be used to define a
new wireless network.

With OneWireless R120 integrated with Experion, the NMD

setting saved by one user is not visible to the other users.

Auto discovery of When a PC is connected to a network, the NMD discovery

network nodes feature goes out and sniffs for any node that is connected to
the network, whether the node is physically wired to the
network or communicating wirelessly. The discovery feature
is set up in the Configuration window. See “Configuring the
NMD tool”.

Received Signal The topographic map shows the Received Signal Strength
Strength Indication Indication (RSSI) of the active communication link between
(RSSI) of wireless nodes. The signal strength may be indicated according to a
links color code that can be user-defined. See “Configuring the
NMD tool”.

Event log of NMD An Event log shows the actions performed by the NMD tool
tool activities during the current NMD session. The event log can be saved
as a text file for future reference.

5.2 Removing the authentication device

You can use the Authentication Device interface on the Key Server Manager to remove a
specific authentication device from the OneWireless system.

Purpose of removing an authentication device

If an Authentication device that contains a valid set of keys is lost and security of the
system may be compromised, you can remove the authentication device from the Key
Server Manager. When you remove the authentication device, it can no longer be used to
authenticate devices. Any multinodes, XYR 6000 transmitters or any simulated rogue
nodes that are given keys with the removed authentication device will not be able to join
the OneWireless network, and the security and integrity of the system is protected.
Additionally, when nodes that are not properly authenticated try to join the OneWireless
Network, a message is generated in the Key Server event log.
To remove an authentication device
Use this procedure to remove a specific Authentication Device from the Key Server
Manager.

Step Action
1 From the OneWireless Server, select Start > Programs > Honeywell
OneWireless > KeyServerManager.
2 From the left pane of the Key Server Manager window, expand the Operation
tree.
3 Click Authentication Device.
4 Click the Authentication Devices tab.
5 Select the authentication device you want removed from the list of.
6 Click Remove.

 6. WSG Redundancy
6.1 Redundancy History
OneWireless R120 supports WSG redundancy. If there is a redundant WSG pair, the
WSG supports a Redundancy History table with a maximum capacity of 16 separate
entries. The three columns in the table represent the redundancy history time, state, and
reason. The table maintains only the 16 most recent entries.
• RDNHISTTIME (Redundancy History Time) – This represents the system time
captured at the moment when the entry is added to the table.
• RDNHISTSTATE (Redundancy History State) – This represents the milestones with
respect to the redundancy related activities like redundancy role states, compatibility
states, synchronization states, user commands, sync abort indication, and role change
indication. The parameter is set to dashes “– – –“, when the entry is not yet
initialized.
• RDNHISTREASON (Redundancy History Reason) – This optionally represents the
rational for the occurrence of the associated RDNHISTSTATE entries. It also
includes the rational for loss-of-sync, redundancy role change, commencing initial
sync, and partner incompatibility. This parameter is set to dashes “– – –“, when the
entry is not applicable (or entry not yet initialized).

6.2 WSG Redundancy Related Notifications

The following table lists the redundancy related notifications. With the exception of the
“Redun Non-Redundant” notification, these notifications are only generated when the
WSG is configured as a redundant pair using the MODISREDUN parameter.

Notification Type Redundancy Condition Description

Role

System Diagnostic Primary & DIAG Not Synchronized - Both the Primary
Alarm Secondary and Secondary WSG generate this
notification when the redundant pair is
not synchronized.

The “Not Synchronized” alarm returns

to normal when the WSG is
configured as non-redundant node or
when the redundant pair is
Synchronized.

System Diagnostic Primary & RedunStep Redun Incompatible Partner - Both

Journal Secondary the Primary and Secondary WSG
generate this notification when one of
the redundant pair determines that its
partner module is not compatible and
therefore an initial-sync is not
attempted.

The RDNSYNCSTATE parameter is

set to INCOMPATIBLE.

System Diagnostic Primary & RedunStep Redun No Partner - Both the Primary
Journal Secondary and Secondary WSG generate this
notification when the partner is not
present.

The RDNSYNCSTATE parameter is

set to NOPARTNER.

System Diagnostic Primary & RedunStep Redun Non-Redundant – The WSG

Journal Secondary generates this notification, when it
defaults to non-redundant
configuration or is explicitly configured
as non-redundant.

The RDNSYNCSTATE parameter is

set to NOPARTNER.
