1. Select the I/O Enable checkbox. If the checkbox is not enabled, that I/O point is active and is ignored.
2. From the I/O Selection drop-down list, select the appropriate I/O configuration. Refer to the device data sheet to determine which

discrete and which analog I/O points are active for a given device. (NPN and PNP settings for discrete I/O shown on the data sheet
are default settings only and can be changed.)

3. Give the I/O points descriptive names to make future register configuration easier.
4. Because sample and reporting intervals apply only to inputs, only set the intervals for the inputs. Hysteresis, threshold, and delta

values apply only to analog inputs.

5. Set the Polling Interval, Max Bad Count, and Re-link Count as needed.

a. The polling interval defines how often the Gateway polls each Node to verify the radio link is operating. A typical setting is 16

seconds.

b. The maximum bad count refers to the maximum count of consecutive failed polling attempts before the Gateway considers

the radio link to be broken. The failed polling attempts must be consecutive failed attempts.

c. The re-link count is the number of completed polling messages the Gateway receives back from a previously failed Node

before the radio link is re-established.

6. Set the default output conditions for each SureCross device. In the example shown, the default output conditions apply during a

Node link failure or a Gateway link failure. Selecting the Auto-recover option sets the Gateway to auto-recover with out-of-sync
Nodes by polling and successfully communicating with the failed Node four times (re-link count setting) before erasing the error
condition.

Click the Get Info button to retrieve the device serial number, model number, product date, RF version, and other information that might
be helpful for technical support.

Linking I/O

Use the I/O Linking page to establish input to output linking between devices. Our simple example uses a Gateway and only one Node.
Notice that only the inputs are shown for any given device. Only inputs are mapped to another device’s outputs.
