Setting up the Wireless Network Using the Rotary Dials
Follow these steps to set up your wireless network using the rotary dials instead of using extended addressing mode. Banner recom-
mends using Extended Addressing Mode, but some older products may only recognize Rotary Dial Address Mode.
Setting Up the Wireless Network
Rotary Dial Address Mode
Rotary dial address mode uses the left dial to set the Network ID and the right dial to set the Device Address (device ID). The wireless RF
network is defined by the Network ID (NID) assigned to the Gateway and its Nodes. Each device within this common network must have
a unique Device Address assigned.
For factory configured kits, the Network ID and Device Addresses have been assigned. Otherwise, use the rotary dials (shown below) to
define both the NID and Device Address for each device.
To operate more than 15 Nodes in your wireless network, use Extended Address Mode and device binding instead of Rotary Dial Ad-
dress Mode.
1. Network ID (NID)
2. Device Address
Setting the Network ID Using the Rotary Dials
The wireless network is defined by the Network ID (NID) assigned to the Gateway and its Nodes.
Each device within this common network must have a unique Device Address assigned. When using
Rotary Dial Address Mode, set the Network ID on the Gateway and all its Nodes using the left rotary
dial. Set the Device ID using the right rotary dial.
1. Remove rotary dial access covers. Turn counterclockwise to remove and clockwise to tighten.
2. On the Gateway, set the left rotary dial to 1. The factory default NID setting on all devices is 1. Set to another Network ID when
operating more than one network in the same area.
3. On all Nodes within the same network, set the left rotary dial to 1. Assign the same NID to all devices within a single network (hexa-
decimal 0-F).
When more than one network is operating in the same space, assign a unique Network ID to each network.
Setting the Device Address Using the Rotary Dials
The Device ID establishes a unique identifier for each device within a wireless network.
1. On the Gateway, set the right rotary dial to 0.
A device address of 0 on the Gateway displays settings for the Gateway itself. To view settings for another device on the network,
adjust the right rotary dial on the Gateway to the desired device address.
