8.8.4 PakBus Neighbouring Address
The PakBus protocol allows devices to relay data in a network. The CC5MPX
now has the ability to communicate with devices that are several hops away on
the PakBus network. To configure this new feature, a setting has been added to
the PakBus configuration screen on the web page.
Entering the address of the PakBus device physically connected to the
CC5MPX PakBus communication lines, allows the neighbour to relay
communication between the CC5MPX and the final destination for data. Leave
PakBus set to zero (0) if device is directly connected to the final destination.
8.9 Device Configuration Utility
DevConfig can be used to change settings in the CC5MPX. DevConfig
software can be downloaded at no charge from the Campbell Scientific
website.
Using DevConfig :
• Connect the camera to the serial port of a PC using the DB9
FEMALE to Terminal Block Adaptor, as shown in Section 8.6 , RS-
232 Communications
(p. 78)
.
•
Once the camera is powered up (this can typically take 90 seconds),
the LED must begin to flash. If the LED does not flash, press the
Setup button to exit the camera from a low powered mode.
•
Select the CC5MPX from the device list (see FIGURE 8-45 ) and
connect to the camera.
• Normally the camera is set to 115200 baud. If the camera’s baud rate
is set to a different baud rate, select the appropriate value in the
Device Configuration
drop-down list.
• Once connected to the CC5MPX, use the tabs (see FIGURE 8-46 ) to
navigate and configure the camera.
