6. Click BACK on the DXM to exit binding for that specific Node address.
7. Repeat steps 2 through 5, for as many DX80 Nodes as are needed for your network.
8. When you are finished binding, click BACK on the DXM until you return to the main menu.
Bind a MultiHop Radio to a DXM and Assign the Device ID
Before beginning the binding procedure, apply power to all the devices. Separate radios by 2 meters when running binding
procedure. Put only one DXM MultiHop master radio into binding at a time to prevent binding the slave radios to the wrong
master radio.
1. Enter binding mode on the DXM radio:
a) Use the arrow keys select the ISM Radio menu on the LCD and click ENTER.
b) Highlight the Binding menu and click ENTER.
2. Assign the device address to the repeater or slave radios.
• For MultiHop radios without rotary dials: Use the DXM arrow keys to select the device ID to assign to the
MultiHop radio about to enter binding mode. The DXM assigns this device ID to the next radio that enters
binding mode. Only bind one slave radio at a time.
• For MultiHop radios with rotary dials: Use the repeater or slave's rotary dials to assign a valid decimal device ID
(11 through 60). The left rotary dial represents the tens digit (1 through 6) and the right dial represents the ones
digit (0 through 9) of the device ID.
3. Start binding mode on the DXM radio by clicking ENTER on the DXM radio.
4. After entering binding mode on the DXM700, put the MultiHop repeater or slave radio into binding mode.
• For housed radios, triple-click button 2.
• For board-level radios, triple-click the button.
• For radios without buttons, refer to the radio's datasheet for instructions on entering binding mode.
After binding is completed, the MultiHop slave automatically exits binding mode and begins operation.
5. Click BACK on the DXM to exit binding for that specific device address.
6. Label the MultiHop slave radio with the assigned address number for future reference.
7. Repeat steps 2 through 6, changing the device address for as many MultiHop slaves as are needed for your
network.
8. When you are finished binding, click BACK on the DXM until you return to the main menu.
All radio devices begin to form the network after the master data radio exits binding mode.
Conduct a Site Survey
Although the MultiHop and DX80 devices are architecturally different, the site survey process is similar when conducted
from the DXM LCD menu.
For a DX80 network, the Gateway controls the site survey and the results display on the LCD. Running Site Survey on a
DX80 network does not affect the throughput of the DX80 network.
For a MulitHop network, the master device passes the site survey request to the intended Modbus slave device. The Site
Survey runs and the results display on the LCD. Running Site Survey on a MultiHop network stops all network traffic to that
device.
1. From the ISM Radio menu, use the down arrow to highlight the Site Survey menu. Click ENTER.
2. Use the Up or Down arrows to select the Node number (DX80 network) or Modbus Slave ID (MultiHop network).
Click ENTER to run the site survey with that Node or slave.
2.1.3 Set the IP Address
Change the IP Address of the DXM700-B1R1 to connect to a Modbus TCP/IP or Ethernet/IP Host Controller.
Equipment needed:
• DXM700-B1R1 Wireless Controller
There are two ways to set the IP address: using the DXM's LCD menu or using the DXM Configuration Tool to change the
XML file.
Entering IP Addresses using the LCD menu system overrides the IP addresses in the XML configuration files. To use the IP
addresses set in the XML configuration file, clear the IP addresses from the menu system.
1. On the DXM, use the arrows and move to the System Config menu. Press Enter.
2. Use the arrow keys to select the Ethernet menu. Press Enter.
