Chapter 4. Performing Advanced
Functions
With the appropriate knowledge, you can configure the addIT
devices in the field by using a hyperterminal window. To configure
the RTU, you will need a special serial cable adapter (not supplied,
available from Adcon).
CAUTION Do not try to configure your addIT devices if you are
not sure what to do—the unit may not communicate with the
remote measuring station or function with the addVANTAGE
software.
WARNING Tampering with parameters for the addIT devices may
void your warranty or damage the device. In general, the
commands described in this chapter are intended for technical
support staff and users with a great deal of highly technical
hardware and software experience.
In the system architecture, the base station and RTU are both con-
sidered to be nodes. The base station is called the master node, or
master, while the RTU is called the slave node, or slave.
