Cause
Devices may not be communicating or their node may be busy. Tree states display the status of all ION nodes, hardware and software. Nodes can be locked by other components requesting information and being stuck in processing.
Resolution
- Restart the ION Services
- If that does not solve the problem, refresh the tree files. Stop all ION Services, delete the tree file (...ION Enterprise\config\trees or Power Monitoring Expert\config\trees) for the malfunctioning devices, then start the services again.
