Binding Mode: What does it do?
Binding Nodes to a Gateway ensures the Nodes only exchange data with the Gateway they are bound to. After a Gateway
enters binding mode, the Gateway automatically generates and transmits a unique extended addressing (XADR), or
binding, code to all Nodes within range that are also in binding mode. The extended addressing (binding) code defines the
network, and all radios within a network must use the same code.
After binding your Nodes to the Gateway, make note of the binding code displayed under the *DVCFG > XADR menu on
the Gateway's LCD. Knowing the binding code prevents having to re-bind all Nodes if the Gateway is ever replaced.
Bind Radios to Form Networks
Binding Nodes to a Gateway ensures the Nodes only exchange data with the Gateway they are bound to. For a more
detailed definition of binding mode, refer to the Advanced Setup section of the SureCross Wireless I/O Networks
instruction manual.
Apply power to the Gateway and Nodes.
1. Enter binding mode on the Gateway.
If you have a two-button Gateway, triple-click button 2
If you have a one-button Gateway, triple-click the button
If you have a Gateway with no buttons, remove the rotary dial access cover and set both the right and left rotary
dials to 0, then set both the right and left rotary dials to F.
The red LEDs flash alternately when the Gateway is in binding mode. Any Node entering binding mode will bind to this
Gateway.
2. Enter binding mode on the Node.
If you have a two-button Node, triple-click button 2.
If you have a one-button Node, triple-click the button.
If you have a Node with no buttons, remove the top cover and set both the left and right rotary dials to F to enter
binding mode. 1
The Node enters binding mode and locates the Gateway in binding mode.
For two LED models, the red LEDs flash alternately. After binding is complete, both LEDs are both solid red for a few
seconds.
For one-LED models, the red and green LED flashes alternately while the Node searches for the Gateway. After binding
is complete, the LED is red and green for four seconds (looks orange), then the red and green flash simultaneously
(looks orange) four times.
The Node automatically exits binding mode, cycles its power, then enters RUN mode.
3. Use the Node's rotary dials to assign a valid decimal Node Address (between 01 and 47). The left rotary dial represents
the tens digit (0 through 4) and the right dial represents the ones digit (0 through 9) of the Node Address.
4. Repeat steps 2 and 3 for all Nodes that will communicate to this Gateway.
5. Exit binding mode on the Gateway.
If you have a two-button Gateway, single-click either button.
If you have a one-button Gateway, single-click the button.
If you have a Gateway with no buttons, change the Gateway's rotary dials to a valid Network ID.
Valid Network IDs are 01 through 32, in decimal, established using the rotary dials. The left dial may be set to 0, 1, 2,
or 3. The right dial may be set from 0 to 9 when the left dial is at 0, 1, or 2; or set to 0 through 2 when the left dial is
at 3. (Positions A through F are invalid network ID numbers.)
When installing special kits with pre-mapped I/O, indicated by device model numbers beginning in DX80K, return the
rotary dials to their original positions after binding. If the rotary dials are not returned to their original positions, the I/O
mapping will not work.
Manually Choosing an Extended Address Code - Gateway
Manually choosing the extended address code is useful when replacing components of an existing wireless network.
To determine the existing extended address code, access the DINFO (Device Information) menu of either the existing
Gateway or another Node in the network. Follow the submenu structure to the XADR display for that device.
1. Remove the Gateway’s top cover.
1 Some older M-GAGE Nodes (models DX80N*X1W0P0ZR) may require F-F binding despite having a single button.
