I.1 PakBus Network
Use of the Network Planner may be the easiest method of configuring a phone-
to-RF401 PakBus network (see FIGURE I-1). The Network Planner is a tool
available in LoggerNet 4.0 or higher. In the Network Planner, select each
device from a list and use the link tool to indicate physical communication.
The Network Planner calculates the optimum settings for each device and can
send the settings to each device. Refer to the LoggerNet manual for more
information about the Network Planner.

LoggerNet version 4 or higher.
The following configuration provides both point-to-point and point to
multipoint communications. A PakBus datalogger can be placed at the phone-
to-RF location, which eliminates the need for the null modem. The datalogger
needs to be set up as a router with beaconing. Typically, the COM220 phone
modem is set as SDC7 and the RF401 as SDC8.
