Ensure the COM port selected is correct for the
USB/TTL converter connected between SNTL150P

charger.


Under settings

Advanced settings set the

following parameters.

Network Address (Minimum) 100 (cannot be
changed)
Network Address (Maximum) Up to 250

Note:
The Higher the number the longer it will take for the
system to scan node addresses, if possible limit the
Maximum address number to as low as possible.
Currently the SNTL150P has a fixed address of 100.
These settings have no effect.
