The sensor produces an analog signal which must connect directly to the Host or Node.
The path from the sensor to the unit CANNOT pass through a network Hub or
Switch.
Network Configuration
The D-100 Node has a serial port on the front panel which is used to configure network settings
and security options. A dumb terminal or terminal emulation software is required to get online and
set up the configuration. The port is male DTE, so a DB9 female–female null modem cable will be
required. Terminal communication settings must be set to:
9600 baud, no parity, 8 data bits, 1 stop bit, no flow control
To get online with the D-100 Node, connect your terminal to the serial port and press
<RETURN>. A menu will appear which will guide you through the setup.
