3.5 Quick Start
1. Using DevConfig, set a unique PakBus Address for each datalogger in the
network. Keep the other settings as their default.
2. Decide on a unique Network Identification Number between 0 and 4095,
excluding 255. All radios in the network will have the same Network ID.
3. Select a Frequency Key Number between 0 and 14. It is recommended
that you change this from 5 which is the default. Generally all radios in
the network will have the same Frequency Key.
4. Select one radio to be the Master; the others will be designated as Slaves.
5. Slave Radios: Using DevConfig, set the “Radio Operation Mode” to
Multi-Point Slave. Set the Network ID to the number decided upon in step
2 above. Set the Frequency Key to the number decided upon in step 3
above. Set the Radio ID to the PakBus Address assigned in step 1 above.
Keep the remaining settings as their defaults. (See note below regarding
repeaters.)
