QUICK START
3. Bonding
To use DPA, all Nodes in the network must be bonded to the Coordinator. To get all nodes bonded, follow next
procedure:
A.
All Nodes must be unbonded
and located in direct RF range to the Coordinator before bonding (local bonding).
•
In case the Node is already bonded the red LED once shortly flashes.
Go to step Unbonding
below in this
case.
•
If the node is not bonded the red LED is flashing for 10 s and then the module falls into sleep.
B. The Coordinator may possibly have stored some bonded Nodes from previous DCTR module usage. Thus, such
bonding information should be cleared from the Coordinator memory first. Click the
Clear All Bonds
(in
IQMESH
Network Manager
window, tab
Control
→
IQMESH
). Number of bonded Nodes should be 0, see the screenshot
below.
C. Activate the
Auto address
checkbox. Thus, addresses will be assigned automatically in ascending order starting
from 1. Click the
Bond Node
button. The Coordinator stays cca 10 s in bond mode. During this period press the
SW1 pushbutton (the one close to USB connector) on the DK-EVAL-04A kit containing the Node you are just
going to bond. It is convenient to mark the assigned address on the DCTR module (e.g. by a label).
D. Repeat step C for all Nodes. It should result in 5 bonded Nodes according to the screenshot below.
