6.5.1 ISM Radio
DX80/MultiHop ID—The ISM radio is set at the factory to be Modbus device address 1 (Modbus ID 1). For some
applications, you may need to change the Modbus ID. Adjust the Modbus device address using the LCD menu system. Any
other method may cause issues with the DXM700 not knowing which Modbus device address is assigned to the radio,
which causes issues with running Binding or Site Survey from the LCD menu.
Set the radio Modbus ID to a valid number (1 through 247) that is not being used by the DXM system. Processor Local
Registers allocate ID 199, the I/O board is set to ID 200, and the display board is set to ID 201. With a DX80 Gateway (star
network), it's easy to choose a new ID. With a MultiHop network, remember that the master MultiHop radio allocates a
range of Modbus IDs for wireless devices, typically 11 through 110.
When setting the new ISM Modbus ID, the system changes the Modbus ID on the internal radio and changes the reference
to it on the DXM700. The reference Modbus ID is what the DXM700 uses to access the internal radio when running Binding
or Site Survey.
Auto Detect Radio—If the internal Modbus ID of the radio was changed or the internal radio was changed, but not recorded,
use Auto Detect Radio to determine the radio ID and radio type. The auto-detect routine broadcasts discovery messages
and waits for a response. If other devices are connected to the external RS-485 ports, they may need to be disconnected
for this process to work properly.
Advanced Options—The Advanced Options menu is typically not used unless the Modbus ID is changed without the
DXM700 being involved, such as when you write directly to the radio Modbus registers.
• Reference Type selects the radio type between DX80 star architecture radios and a MultiHop radio. The DXM700
uses this reference to determine how to communicate to the internal radio. If set incorrectly, the DXM700 may not
be able to run Site Survey from the LCD menu. Unless you are changing or adding the internal radio device, there
should no reason to change the radio type.
• Reference Modbus ID defines the Modbus ID the DXM700 uses when communicating with the internal radio. If this
is set incorrectly, the DXM700 will not be able to run Binding or Site Survey through the LCD menu.
