2.4 - CONFIGURING THE PAN-C
After installing the PAN-C and all devices/components have been installed and configured (NODES and any repeaters), the PAN-C
just installed must be configured in order to enable the network.

Supply
2.4.1 - TRANSFERRING NETwORk CONFIGURATION TO THE PAN-C
- Check that the PAN-C is connected to the power supply.
- Check that serial connections (TTL and RS-485) are not connected.
- Set the switch on the
Radio
Key to position
0
- Connect the powered-on PAN-C to the
Radio
Key and wait for the YELLOW LED (P) (on the
Radio
Key) to
light up (GREEN LED (N) off).

To enable the network, just switch on the NODES, devices, repeaters and PAN-C.
To start up the monitoring device (Televis or Modbus), refer to the relative user manuals for configuration and use.
NOTA
: Communication between NODES, repeaters and PAN-C and the monitoring device will commence after at least 1 minute
has passed after each component of the network was switched on
2.5 - CHANGES TO NETwORk
2.5.1 - ADDING A NEw NODE
Instructions on how to install a new NODE and all relative connections in an existing network are provided below:
- Turn off the monitoring device.
- Install the NODE as described in section “
How to install a NODE
”
- Repeat the PAN-C configuration as described in section “
Configuring the PAN-C
”
2.5.2 - ADDING A NEw DEvICE
Instructions on how to install a new device on one of the NODES of an existing network are provided below:
- assign a Televis or Modbus address to the device.
- Connect the new device to the selected NODE.
- Wait for the NODE to finish scanning.
- Disconnect the device from the NODE.
- Set the switch on the
Radio
Key to position 1
- Connect the
Radio
Key to the NODE and wait for the GREEN LED (N) on the
Radio
Key to light up.
The NODE has now reset.
- Disconnect the
Radio
Key and configure the NODE as explained in section 2.2 How to install a NODE
(ignore the first section 2.2.1 Initializing a NODE).
- Configure the PAN-C again as explained in section 2.4 Configuring PAN-C
