2.7.2 DIP Switch Setup: Network ID (NID)
Each sensor network has a unique Network ID (or NID).
For the End Device and the Coordinator setup the Network ID with DIP switches
#6 - 8
If there is no other IEEE 802.15.4 system, the default NID can be used where all three
dip switches are
OFF
.
Figure 2.8 Network ID (NID) - 8 Position DIP Switch Setup
Definitions:
DID (Device ID):
The first 5 DIP switches used to assign a device number to an End
Device.
NID (Network ID):
The last 3 DIP switches used to assign a unique network number to a
network of a Coordinator and End Device(s).
PID (Personal Network ID):
The sum of the Network ID and 0x3332.
Once the End Devices and the Coordinator start communicating, make sure to push
DIP switch
#1,
located on the back of the Coordinator to the
ON
position. This will
lock the Coordinator on the same channel it initially established the connection.
It’s a good practice to record NID and DID numbers on designated labels placed
on the Coordinator and End Devices.
