Section 4. Setting up Datalogger Networks
and provides check-boxes that allow these items to be checked off to indicate
when an item has been completed. The bottom portion of the panel displays a
more detailed description of the selected item. If the item has been completed,
the description will include the date and time when it was completed. Unless
the selected item must be performed manually (setting a dip-switch on a
COM220, for instance), the item description will also contain a link that can be
followed to initiate the action associated with that item. When the selected
station on the drawing canvas changes, the selected item in the Configure
Devices list box will also change to the item, if any, associated with the root
device of that station.
4.3.8.1 Configuring Using the Device Configuration Protocol
The majority of device types that are supported by the Network Planner can be
set up using the same protocol as is used by the Device Configuration Utility.
The figure below shows a screen shot of the dialog that supports this action.
This dialog has the following controls:
Serial Port – Specifies the PC serial port that should be used for
communication with the device.
Baud rate – Specifies the baud rate at which communication should take place
with the device.
Revert to Defaults First – Specifies whether all of the device settings should
be automatically set to their factory default values before writing the settings
generated by the Network Planner. Typically, the Network Planner does not
generate every possible setting for a device but, rather, generates the minimal
set needed to express the model parameters.
