N or n
Invoke and display PSG Network Adapter neighbor
count (see next section)
X or x
Enable/disable ASCII responses. Used to squelch any
ASCII asynchronous responses (i.e. send only binary
mode). This is reset by command
R
Note: PSG Network Adapter transmits certain status
messages asynchronously, unless the X command has
been issued:
Line Break Detected
RF COMMUNICATION TEST
For proper operation, the PSG Network Adapter should be placed
within RF range of
at least
one other
EnernetWorks™
node.
For maximum reliabilty it should link to at least four neighbors.
The following test requires connection to a network interface
device (see previous section, TESTING):
1.
Make sure Configuration / Building address is set per
instructions on page 6,
Configuration Switches.
2.
If you are using the monopole helical antenna (standard
supplied configuration) place the PSG Network Adapter
in its proposed location. Then go to step 4.
3.
If you are using the dipole/cable antenna option, place
only the antenna in its proposed location. Screw the
other end of the cable to the PSG Network Adapter
antenna connector.
(WARNING: HAND TIGHTEN
ONLY, DO NOT USE TOOLS. Excessive force can
damage the connector!)
4.
Issue the “N” command to send a
neighbor count
command on the mesh network. PSG Network Adapter
responds with the message
Neighbor Count = XX,
where XX is the actual number of
EnernetWorks™
nodes heard.
5.
If the Neighbor Count is less than 4, consider relocating
the PSG or antenna closer to other
EnernetWorks™
nodes.
