Section 4. Setting up Datalogger Networks

If you are using LoggerNet Admin or LoggerNet Remote 4.0 and

using the Connect Screen to connect to a remote server that is

running an older version of LoggerNet, the behavior will be

different than described above. When connecting to a LoggerNet

3.4.1 server, you will be disconnected with no advanced warning

when Max Time On-Line is reached. A message will be displayed

indicating that Max Time On-Line has been reached. When

connecting to servers older than LoggerNet 3.4.1, the behavior

will be variable. Generally, you will be disconnected at some

point, but the timing of the disconnect will not be predictable.

Beacon Interval – The time interval on which the PakBus node should

transmit its routing table information in the PakBus network.

PakBus Verify Interval – The amount of time, in seconds, that will be used as

the link verification interval in the PakBus hello transaction messages. If no

communication has taken place during the specified interval, LoggerNet will

initiate a hello exchange with the datalogger. A verify interval of zero causes

LoggerNet to use a default verify interval of 2.5 times the beacon interval. If

the beacon interval is also zero, the default verify interval is 5 minutes.

The format for this field is 00 h(ours) 00 m(inutes) 00 s(econds).

Hardware Tab, Advanced
Extra Response Time – The amount of additional time, in seconds, that

LoggerNet should wait for this device to respond. Note that Extra Response

Time is cumulative for all devices in the network.

PakBus Address – This field is for display only. It shows the PakBus address

that has been set up for the PakBus TcpServer. This address can be changed by

going to the Setup Screen’s

Options | LoggerNet PakBus Settings menu item.

Delay Hangup – The amount of time, in seconds and milliseconds, that

LoggerNet should delay before hanging up the link to the device. If a new

command to the device is issued before the delay has expired, communication

will not be terminated.

IP Port Used for Call-Back – Enter the port number that LoggerNet should

open and monitor for incoming call-back messages. If a value of zero is

entered, LoggerNet will make an outbound TCP connection and then listen on

that connection until validated data is received.

TCP Password – This is a password that is used to control IP access to a

datalogger. Passwords are assigned through the Device Configuration Utility or

through the datalogger’s settings which can be edited through PakBus Graph or

the Device Configuration Utility.
