There has not been any contact with the Edge Node for nearly an hour or more - this could be someone who left the office hours ago, or they have not been on the local network recently. The node was demoted to Passive Node status.Īny laptop or PC makes a good Standard Node. A Standard Node plays an active role in the local Edge Mesh. Nodes work together to keep print jobs secure and safe.securely holds encrypted print jobs waiting for release.checks on the printer’s health and toner levels.If a Super Node is present on the network, a Standard Node will often sit idle ready to take over in the event of any failure (the Edge Mesh is a self-healing network). The more nodes present on the network, the more the printing load is shared (it makes a self-scaling system).Ī good example of a Standard Node is the laptop of each regular employee. As each employee comes into the office they use their laptop - and as a result they join the Edge Mesh. It’s no problem if anyone goes on vacation or is away for a day since other standard nodes seamlessly step in to take over.
