5.1 DevConfig
RF401s with operating systems of OS4 or higher and RF430s are configured
for PakBus networks. If the default settings need to be changed, our Device
Configuration Utility (DevConfig) is often the preferred method to use.
DevConfig provides the settings for the standard setup (see Appendix B,
Advanced Setup Menu, for the advanced setup menu).
DevConfig is included with Campbell Scientific’s PC400 and LoggerNet
datalogger support software, and can also be downloaded at no charge from our
website. DevConfig is intended to facilitate the setup process.
5.1.1 Using DevConfig
The following are the steps required for accessing DevConfig:
(1) Power the radio. Typically this is done by using the AC wall charger.
(2) Connect the radio to the PC. A standard 9-pin serial cable is used to
connect the radio’s RS-232 port to the PC’s RS-232 port. If using an
RF430, the radio must be connected to the PC’s USB port via the USB
cable.
(3) Launch DevConfig.
(4) Click on “RF401” or “RF430” for the device type in DevConfig.
