ADVANCED USER SETTINGS

Two types of Transceivers and two antenna choices.

CONGRATULATIONS!

By default, all the transceivers are configured in the same network. The 
transceivers will be configured with the default network ID of 7FFF.

For advanced configurations such as configuring transceivers to work in a 
different network, our “AcuMesh” software needs to be used.

NOTES:

A transceiver must be connected to a PC to perform any network configuration.

1. OPEN SOFTWARE:

Open the “AcuMesh” software. The following screen will appear.

The AcuMesh RS485 wireless network set up is complete. You are now able to 
communicate wirelessly with all RS45 devices in the network. The AcuMesh 
wireless RS485 network is pre-configured to work out of box. No software 
configuration is required.

CAUTION:

Proceed with caution to advance user setting below, you will not need to use the 
AcuMesh software to have the AcuMesh Wireless RS485 network working, only 
use the software if you have knowledge of wireless network properties.
