Section 4. Setting up Datalogger Networks
4.2.3 Renaming Network Devices
The names of all of the devices can be changed as desired. Rename a device
by selecting the device and either clicking again with the left mouse button on
the selected device or clicking the Rename button. The name of the selected
device will change to a text edit box and the new device name can be entered.
Valid names consist of letters, numbers and the underscore (_). The device
name must be unique in the network and the first character must be a letter.
Device names can reflect a location, layout, or physical location of network
devices. Think carefully when naming the devices since these names are used
throughout LoggerNet to refer to the devices.
4.2.4 Device Settings
When you highlight any device on the network shown on the left side of the
Setup Screen, configuration tabs appear on the right side with the relevant
settings. These settings are different for different devices and are described in
detail below. Some of the tabs have a Standard section and an Advanced
section. The Standard section contains information that must be reviewed to
ensure it matches the settings for the device. The Advanced section contains
settings that can be left at the default for most applications.
All devices have a Notes tab which is only for the user’s convenience. It may
be used to keep notes about the device for future reference.
As with changes to the network map, the changes made to the device settings
are not used until they have been applied.
4.2.4.1 ComPort
The ComPort (or serial port) has only Hardware and Notes tabs. Following is
an explanation of each of the fields on the Hardware tab.
Standard
Communications Enabled
– Before communications can take place, all
devices in the communications chain must be enabled. The default setting for
this check box is Enabled.
ComPort Connection
– This field designates the communications port
through which you will be connecting to the datalogger. Select the arrow to
the right of the field with a mouse to display a list containing the ComPorts that
are set up on your computer.
Advanced
Call-Back Enabled
– Enabling call-back tells LoggerNet to watch for a call-
back from the datalogger on this port. If there is a phone modem attached it
will be set to accept incoming calls.
Dataloggers depicted in the Setup Screen must be configured for call-back as
well. For mixed array dataloggers, set the Call-Back ID to some value other
than 0 to accomplish this. For CRBasic dataloggers, enable the Call-Back
