NL100/105 Network Link Interface
RS-232 serial server port number - Enter the port number, in the range of
1 to 65000, that will be used for communication. The default port number
is 6784.
PakSer - The RS-232 port of the NL100/105 can be configured as a PakBus
serial server.
RS-232 bps - This is the bits per second (bps) at which the NL100/105
will communicate using the RS-232 port. This is a fixed rate (i.e., it is not
a maximum baud rate or an autobaud rate). Note that the CR10(X),
CR510, and CR200 can communicate at a maximum baud rate of 9600
bps, so to communicate with one of those dataloggers, this setting must be
9600 bps or less. The default setting is 115K bps.
RS-232 Serial Server AppId number - Enter the application ID, in the
range of 1 to 65000, that will be used to identify the device in the
network. The default ID is 6784.
The usual AppId for MODBUS devices is 502. NOTE
ConfMon - Configuring the RS-232 port as a ConfMon allows you to connect
directly to the NL100/105 via a computer. There are no parameters; the baud
rate is automatically set to 115,200 bps. Refer to the previous information on
setting up the NL100/105 for communication.
2.4.3.5 Ethernet 10 Base-T
The 10 Base-T communications link is used to connect the NL100/105 to a
TCP/IP network using a Category 5 twisted pair cable. The Ethernet 10 Base-T
link must be configured or you will not be able to communicate with the
NL100/105 over a TCP/IP connection. The following options must be
configured. These values should be provided by your network administrator.
10BASE-T Port IP Address - This number is the address of the
NL100/105 on a TCP/IP network. It is written as 32-bit number written in
four 8-bit decimal-equivalent syllables separated by periods, in the format
XXX.XXX.XXX.XXX. The IP Address must be a static IP Address -- the
NL100/105 does not support DHCP (dynamic host configuration
protocol).
10BASE-T Port Network Mask - The network mask is used to help a
network router to more efficiently transfer information. Typically, a class
C mask will be 255.255.255.0, a class B mask will be 255.255.0.0, and a
Class A mask will be 255.0.0.0. The tighter the mask, the more the
NL100/105 will rely on the default gateway to route packets.
IP Address of the Default Gateway - Enter the IP address of the device
that is responsible for forwarding information to destinations outside the
internal network, defined by the network mask. To disable a default
gateway, use the default value of 0.0.0.0.
