5.3.2 Adding the Sentinel LNG to the Communications Port (cont.)
If PanaView ™ found the meter, a window will pop up and inform the user which Node ID the meter is set to. The
operator can select to use the existing Node ID or a different Node ID (see Figure 43 below).
Note: The Node ID can be changed later on by going to the meter properties.
Figure 43: Selecting the Node ID
Once communication has been established, the Node ID can be set to any "master" Node ID. A "master" Node ID is an
integer which is a multiple of 16.
Note: A " slave " Node ID is all the numbers between two consecutive masters. However the term “ slave ” does not
apply to the
Sentinel LNG
.
If “I wish to use a different Node ID” is selected, the window in Figure 40 on page 68 appears, and the user must then
enter the Node ID number in the
ID
entry.
Once the Node ID is entered in the
Add Meter
window
ID
box, click on the
OK
button to add the meter to the
PanaView ™ network.
