How do I determine the number of a IDTag?
If you look at the bottom of an IDTag, you’ll see the word
DALLAS
, and
underneath that, two characters on the right, two characters on the left
(with a underline beneath them), and then 12 more
characters below that.
The complete IDTag number starts with the two
characters on the left, then the 12 characters below
that, then the two characters on the right. For
example, on the drawing on the right, the IDTag
number is
E6000000FBD8B301
.
Note: IDTag numbers contain only the letters
A
to
F
and the digits
0
to
9
,
and are always sixteen characters long.
Collecting Data from your ClassNet Terminals
ClassNet Anywhere
Here’s a brief except from the ClassNet Anywhere manual that describes
the basic ideas behind the program. For complete details on how to set
up and use ClassNet Anywhere, please see the program’s manual.
ClassNet Anywhere operates around the idea of
units, locations, and
schedules
. A
Location
consists of one or more
Units
, and locations are
polled according to a
Schedule
.
Units
are individual ClassNet Terminals. One or more units are connected by
RS-485 cabling to an
Intelligent RS-485 Adaptor
, which is connected to the
serial port of a PC, or to a modem.
Locations
can be
Local
, where ClassNet Terminals are attached to a serial
port on the computer running the polling program, or
Remote
, where a modem
is used to communicate with ClassNet Terminals that are attached to another
modem at a separate site. Each location can accommodate up to 31 ClassNet
Terminals, and an unlimited number of locations can be defined.
Schedules
are used to control when ClassNet Anywhere polls locations.
Scheduled polls can be
periodical
(for example, every two hours), or at
specific times
(ie at 9:15am). More than one scheduled poll can be set for
each location.
ClassNet Polling Program
For complete details on how to set up and use the ClassNet Polling
Program, please see the program’s manual. Here’s an except that
describes the main screen of the program, and how it works.
