when the unit is reset. This allows the user to permanently
configure a pair of Serial Adapters to communicate exclusively
with one another. Follow these steps to permanently bind a pair
of Serial Adapters:
1. Ensure that both units are turned off.
2. Using the switch setting tool, turn the Domain Switch to
8 on both units. The units may be configured with one
as a Master and with the other as a Station or with both
set as Stations synchronized to the same RangeLAN2
Access Point, which is also configured for Domain 8.
3. Power up both units. The Serial Adapters will perform
the handshaking procedure and exchange IP addresses.
This information is then permanently stored within each
unit.
4. Using the switch setting tool, change the Domain
Switch from 8 to another value between 0 and 7. The
two Serial Adapters will now exclusively communicate
with each other.
5. Each unit will retain the other’s IP address until the
Domain Switch is set back to 8 and power is recycled.
The user may also override this feature by manually
configuring a Destination Address from within the
software configuration menu.
Note:
If you intend to use the Pairing Domain feature to bind
together two Serial Adapters, Proxim recommends that
you do not set any pair of units to communicate on
Domain 8, in order to avoid unintended pairings.
