Campbell Scientific RF450 Spread Spectrum Radio - Manual (Page 14)

RF450 Spread Spectrum Radio
6. Master Radio: Using DevConfig, set the “Radio Operation Mode” to
Multi-Point Master. 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.)
7. Select a datalogger, or PC running LoggerNet, to be a router. Using
DevConfig, set this node to beacon. Attach the Master Radio to this node.
If RF450 repeaters will be used, select Multi-Point
Slave/Repeater as the Radio Operation Mode. Check the
“Repeaters Used” box for all radios in the Network. NOTE
3.6 Deployment Settings
See Appendix A for example radio settings in different network
configurations. NOTE
3.6.1 Active Interface
Specify the interface that will be used for normal operations. The following
active interfaces are available:
• Auto-Sense: The RF450 will choose between the RS-232 port and the
CS I/O SDC, depending upon whether the +5 V line of the CS I/O port is
present.
• RS-232: The RS-232 port is used at the baud rate selected.
• CS I/O SDC: The CS I/O port is used, and configured as SDC at the SDC
Address selected.
• CS I/O Modem Enable: The CS I/O port is used, and configured as
Modem Enable at the baud rate selected.
• ME Master: The CS I/O port is used, and configured for direct connection
to a CSI COM200, COM210, COM220, or other ME configured device
(MD485, RF416, etc). The connection is a type of "null modem" that
crosses TX & RX, and ME & RING; this line swapping is done by using
an A100. The baud rates of both the COM2xx (or other device) and
RF450 must be the same.
3.6.2 SDC Address
Specifies the SDC address that will be used on the RF450 CS I/O port when
CS I/O SDC or Auto-Sense is selected as the active interface.
3.6.3 Baud Rate
Specifies the baud rate that will be used on the RS-232 port or CS I/O ME port.
