    Using Toolkit (V1.2.2 and 1.3.0)
    When you open a project and scan all units etc, the Project Manager shows that the network is running.
    Mine show both the Wireless and wired networks.
    When I click on the "Network (254) - Local Network : running" line, the display side shows
    Current Consumption 0mA
    Current Supply 0mA
    Impedance 0ohms
    Units Calculated 0
    Unit Not Calculated 24
    Result

    My question is why are the results 0?

    Are they meant to show actual current usage statistics?

    (The CNI, Wireless gateway and a firmware 1.2.66 key input show the voltage)

    The current, consumption, impedance etc is a reflection of the Database Units only.. and only those database units where you've provided a catalog number..

    Not sure what you mean by catalog number.
    I just re-checked after about 1 hour of Toolkit running and it shows
    Current Consumption 32mA
    Impedance 49999ohms
    Units Calculated 1
    Result 1 power supplies required, 1 burden required

    The above seem to be the figures for the 5500CN unit.

    By what you said, I gather that it is not a realtime status of the running network .

    Correct, it just shows what the combined result of your database units would yield.. and only those database units where a catalog number exists (open each unit, there's a catalog number field). If you created your Database by transferring your Network to the Database you wont have any catalog numbers yet.. Toolkit is unable to determine the catalog number from the Networ.
