NETWORK ID
: In order for the sensing units to be able to
communicate with the host controller, all components must
be set up with the same Network ID. Refer to RAE
Systems Technical Note TN-164 for more information on
the Network ID. If there are any doubts about the Network
ID or the need to change the Network ID arises, then
contact RAE Systems Service. By providing the serial
number of the RAELink2 series modem or the AreaRAE
units, the Network ID can be verified.

UNIT ID
: If multiple sensing units are attempting to
communicate with the same Host, then the units must all
have a different Unit ID.
8.
MAX UNITS:
The unit ID for he AreaRAE can be 1 to 32.
By default the number of units the software attempts to
communicate with is 8. If any of the sensing units have a
higher unit ID than 8, then the “Define Max Units” function
must be initiated and the number of units increased. See
Figure 3.
