Section 4. Setting up Datalogger Networks
If you are using LoggerNet Admin or LoggerNet Remote 4.0 and
using the Connect Screen to connect to a remote server that is
running an older version of LoggerNet, the behavior will be
different than described above. When connecting to a LoggerNet
3.4.1 server, you will be disconnected with no advanced warning
when Max Time On-Line is reached. A message will be
displayed indicating that Max Time On-Line has been reached.
When connecting to servers older than LoggerNet 3.4.1, the
behavior will be variable. Generally, you will be disconnected at
some point, but the timing of the disconnect will not be
predictable.
NOTE
Maximum Baud Rate
– Select the arrow to the right of this field to choose a
maximum baud rate for communication with this device. Note that the actual
rate of communication may be limited by the capability of other devices in the
communications chain.
Advanced
Extra Response Time
– In this field, specify the additional time that
LoggerNet should delay before terminating the communications link if there is
no response from the RFBase. Additional time may be needed in instances
where the communications link is noisy or network traffic is heavy.
Maximum Packet Size
– Data is transferred in “chunks” called packets. For
most devices the default value is 2048 byes. The value entered in this field can
be changed in 32 byte increments. If a communications link is marginal,
reducing the packet size may improve reliability.
Delay Hangup
– The amount of time, in seconds and milliseconds, that
LoggerNet should delay before hanging up the link to the device. If a new
command to the device is issued before the delay has expired, communication
will not be terminated.
The RFBase device is not used for RF400 radios.
NOTE
4.2.4.8 RFRemote
The RF remote has only Hardware and Notes tabs.
Standard
Communications Enabled
– Before communications can take place, all
devices in the chain must have the Communications Enabled box checked.
When this box is selected, communication to the RF modem is enabled.
Address
– The hardware for each RF modem is configured for a certain
address with internal switches. This address acts as an identification for the
device in an RF network. Each RF modem in the network must have a unique
address; this number is entered in the Address field. Each RF modem used as a
repeater only site still needs its own unique Address.
