Setting the Router ID for other
Configurations
The board of the PCAN-Router Pro has a rotary switch with 16
settings to determine the Router ID (0 - F hex = 0 - 15). When the
device is started with the standard firmware, that configuration is
loaded from the internal memory whose number matches the
specified Router ID. In addition, the Router ID gives a unique
identification during the PPCAN communication (configuration
transfer). For the transmission of CAN messages during normal
operation this Router ID is not relevant.
Note:
The rotary switch setting
F
is reserved for an upload of
