Section 1. Setting Up the Network and Communicating
1-4
Once all devices are added to the device map, complete the forms associated
with each device. Refer to the sections that immediately follow for
information on setting up devices. The CR10X-PB is a default label and must
be edited. The PondView Software will be looking for a label called
CR10XTD_1. After all settings are configured, apply the Setup program by
selecting the Apply button; this saves all settings.
1.3 Device Configuration Settings
When you highlight any device on the network shown on the left side of the
Setup screen, forms appear on the right side with the relevant settings. These
settings are different for different devices and are described in detail below.
1.3.1 Serial Port
The serial port has only a Hardware tab to configure.
Communication Enable - Before communication can take place, all devices in
the communications chain must be enabled. The default setting for this check
box is Enabled.
Call-Back Enable - Leave unchecked.
Com Port Connection - This field designates the communications port through
which you will be connecting to the CR10X-TD or RF232T Base Station.
Select the arrow to the right of the field with a mouse to display Com 1
through Com 8. For most computers Com 1 will be used.
Extra Response Time - Leave this set at the default rate. Additional time may
be needed in instances where the communications link is noisy or network
traffic is heavy.
1.3.2 PakBusPort
Communication Enabled - Must be checked.
PakBus Port is Dialed - Leave unchecked.
Extra Response Time - Leave default value of 000s.
Beacon Interval - Leave default value of 060s.
1.3.3 CR10X-TD
The CR10X-TD has four different tabs. Similar to a serial port, a hardware tab
is completed to specify communication settings. There are also tabs to define
the method of data collection, how often data should be collected, and whether
to automatically update the CR10X-TD’s clock.
