Hi,
yes good point  It only sent lost messages when the last message was a
heartbeat. This is why hubs etc worked fine as they only send hbeats.
http://www.mi4.biz/modules.php?name=Downloads&d_op=viewdownload&cid=47
Should fix it.
BSC is always sent, you cant turn it off,  the yes/nos on the devices
screen are to enable display messages. a device is marked as lost if
the last message is  the heartbeat interval times the number in the
hbeats column plus 10 seconds . the later is just to allow for any
slight delays.
