5 Advanced Setup Instructions and Additional
Information
Refer to the following sections for advanced setup instructions or additional information on Banner's SureCross wireless
technology and its uses.
5.1 Binding the DX70 Gateway and Node
DX70 Gateway and Node kits ship from the factory bound to each other.
You should only need to bind devices if you are replacing one of the devices in your existing pair. If the power is applied
and the Power LED is solid green and the Signal LED is solid red for more than thirty seconds (indicating an RF link error),
the devices need to be bound.
1. Install the supplied antennas to both the Gateway and Node.
2. Apply power to both devices and position the Gateway and Node at least two meters apart.
The Power LED is solid green and the Signal LED is solid red, indicating an RF link error.

3. Remove the rotary dial access covers.
4. On the Gateway, set both the left and right rotary dials to 0, then set both the left and right rotary dials to F.
Note that both rotary dials for each device must be changed to F after applying power, not before applying power.
The Gateway enters binding mode. Both the POWER and SIGNAL LEDs flash red.
5. On the Node, set both the left and right rotary dials to 0, then set both rotary dials to F.
Binding should take less than twenty seconds.
The Node enters binding mode and waits for the Gateway to respond. Both the Gateway’s and Node’s LEDs alternately
flash red during pairing. After the devices are successfully bound, the Node’s LEDs are solid red for a few seconds and
the Node automatically exits binding mode. The Node Power LED is solid green and Signal LED is solid red, indicating
the Node is bound.
6. Change the Gateway’s rotary dials to a valid Network ID.
Valid Network IDs are 01 through 32, in decimal, established using both rotary dials.
The left dial may be set to 0, 1, 2, or 3. The right dial may be set from 0 to 9 when the left dial is at 0, 1, or 2; or set
to 0 through 2 when the left dial is at 3. (Positions A through F are invalid network ID numbers.)

7. The Node automatically synchronizes to the Gateway and establishes a radio link in less than a minute.
When a radio link is established, the Power LED is green and the Signal LED flashes amber on both devices to indicate
the signal strength.
8. On the Node, set both the left and right rotary dials back to 0, or any position other than F.
9. Replace both the rotary dial access covers.
Regardless of the position of the Node’s rotary dials, the DX70 devices within this bound pair maintain a radio link. For
successful binding, the Gateway and Node should be at least two meters apart and have the antennas installed.

Unbound devices will have a solid green Power LED and solid red Signal LED thirty seconds after power up. Bound devices have a
solid green Power LED and a flashing yellow Signal LED within thirty seconds of power up.

When multiple networks operate in the same area, assign a unique Network ID (NID) to the Gateway device within each bound pair.
