Using Custom Transceivers
The RTR-10 router can be used with transceivers not listed in table 4.2 as
long as the communications parameters are reprogrammed to match the
custom transceiver. If one side of the router is a predefined transceiver
type, this reprogramming can occur during manufacture or during
field installation. The first four steps of the following procedure
describe how the custom communications parameters are programmed
for one side. If both sides of the custom router will be custom
transceiver types, additional configuration steps will be required as
described in steps 5 - 10.
1
Assuming that the predefined transceiver is on Side A, attach a
transceiver matching one of the predefined types to Side A of the
RTR-10 and select the matching transceiver ID on Side A.
2
Select the custom transceiver type (ID 30) on Side B of the RTR-10
r o u t e r .
3
Attach a network services tool, such as LonMaker, with a compatible
predefined transceiver to Channel A as shown in figure 5.2.

Configuring Side B

Configure the communications parameters on Side B of the RTR-10
router using the network management tool. Side A may be
automatically reconfigured at the same time depending on the
network management tool.
Installation procedures for LonMaker, LonBuilder, and the
LonManager API are described in Chapter 7.
