power and intermittent repeater sites may not be a problem. Test
such a site with a representative setup before committing to it (see
Troubleshooting Section 6). Keep in mind that commercial sites tend
to evolve. Such a site may work now but could change in the future
with the addition of new equipment.
5.3.3 LoggerNet Configuration
There are two ways of configuring the Setup map for a point-to-point
‘network.’ You can represent the RF400s in the Setup map or simply leave
them off. The simple map usually results in a quicker connection and requires
less typing.
(1) Point-to-point (not represented)
(a) Setup map:
ComPort_1
CR10X
(2) Point-to-point (represented)
(a) Setup map:
ComPort_1
RF400
RF400Remote
CR10X
(3) The station’s Maximum Baud Rate is typically 9600
(4) Extra Response Times are typically 0 s
In the case of point-to-multipoint, the RF400s are always represented in the
LoggerNet Setup map so that LoggerNet can temporarily change the base
RF400’s Radio Address to communicate with one out of a group of remote
RF400s.
(1) Point-to-multipoint
(a) Setup map:
ComPort_1
RF400
RF400Remote_1
CR10X_1
RF400Remote_2
CR10X_2
RF400Remote_3
CR10X_3
(2) All RF400Remotes have the same Network Address but each
RF400Remote must have a unique Radio Address.
(3) Extra Response Times are typically 0 s
