Adding the Device DTM
You may add the adapter to your PACTware
TM
project in various ways (see PACTware
TM
documentation). One of them is described in the following.
1. In the project view, right-click on the entry of the HART communication DTM.
2. To add the device DTM, choose
Add device
.
The

window opens.
3. Select
WHA-ADP
.
4. Click

Joining the Wireless Network
To connect itself to the
Wireless
HART network, the device must carry the correct Network ID
and Join Key. The Network ID and Join Key have to be configured using a
wired connection
before the device joins the
Wireless
HART network for the first time.
To enter Network ID and Join Key, the following requirements have to be met.
■
A PC/Laptop is connected to the device using a HART modem.
■
A PACTware
TM
project containing the HART communication DTM and the device DTM
has been created.
In the joining phase the device sends a join request packet to the network manager. If the new
device can be authenticated, the network manager responds with an activation packet and sets
up links between the new device and other existing nodes. Furthermore, the new device
receives a 128 Bit encryption key.
