Issue
Why does it take three minutes to create a link in Niagara R2 WorkPlace Pro from an Enterprise Server station to a UNC station?
Environment
- Niagara R2 WorkPlace Pro
- Enterprise Server
- UNC station
Cause
Enterprise Server station attempts to connect to all devices in the address book. There will be latency if there are offline or no longer exist UNC devices in the address book.
Resolution
When engineering a job it is common practice to load the Enterprise Server station into an engineering laptop and create links to UNCs one at a time. This is not a problem as long as the address book entries are removed from the Enterprise Server station that are not online.
Upon creating a link, the Enterprise Server station attempts to connect to all devices listed in its address book. This creates a large latency in completing a link if there are multiple devices in the address book that are not able to respond.
To create links in this fashion remove all address book entries from the Enterprise server station's address book that are not online.
