Section 4. Setting up Datalogger Networks

BMP1 Station ID – The address that will be used for the device in the BMP1

network. When adding a new device to the network, this field will not show up

until after the Apply button has been pressed. The ID will be assigned

automatically by LoggerNet, but can be changed by the user. This allows the

user to designate unique addresses for all BMP1 devices across multiple

LoggerNet networks.

BMP1 Low Level Delay – the amount of time, in milliseconds, that LoggerNet

should delay after receiving a valid low level serial acknowledgement package

before sending out the next low level serial query packet. If the value is zero,

the query packet will be sent immediately.

This setting is useful in high-latency networks such as those involving the

RF95T. It can reduce the network bandwidth consumed by low level

exchanges which do not result in any new data.

PakBus Encryption Key ─ This setting specifies text that will be used to

generate the key for encrypting PakBus messages sent to or received from this

device. The key entered here must match the PakBus Encryption Key setting

in the device. (The device setting is entered using DevConfig, PakBus Graph,

Network Planner, or a CR1000KD.)

The PakBus Encryption Key can be up to 63 bytes long and can include any

character with the exception of the Null character. Note that if Unicode

characters are included in the key, those characters may take up to three bytes

each.

If the PakBus Encryption Key device setting is specified as an empty string, the

device will not use PakBus encryption. If the PakBus Encryption Key device

setting is specified as a non-empty string, however, the device will not respond

to any PakBus message unless that message has been encrypted. AES-128

encryption is used.

LoggerNet waits a certain amount of time for a response from each

device in a communications path. The extra response times

defined for the communications link are cumulative. Therefore,

the amount of time spent waiting for a device to respond is the

sum of all Extra Response Times defined, plus the default

response time for each device in the link. Add the minimum time

necessary since very long response times can delay other

scheduled events while waiting for a device that is not responding.
Refer to your datalogger operator’s manual for complete

information on its security functions.

4.2.4.4.2 Schedule Tab

The Schedule tab defines when LoggerNet will automatically check the

datalogger for new data.

Scheduled Collection Enabled – This check box activates the data collection

schedule defined on this tab. No data will be automatically collected if the

schedule is disabled.
