Firmware
The
Firmware
field displays the name of the script loaded into your SNAPlink device.
This will be SNAP_Link unless Synapse Customer Support has provided an alternate.
Network
ID
The
Network ID
can be thought of as a logical channel. This 16-bit integer may be
assigned any hexadecimal value from 0x0001 through 0xFFFE. Devices in a SNAP
network must share both the same channel and same network ID to communicate. This
allows multiple SNAP networks to share the same channel if required, although it is
preferred to place independent networks on separate physical channels to reduce
collisions. SNAPlink defaults to network ID 0x1C2C.
Channel
The
Channel
number can range from 0 to 14, and corresponds to specific radio
frequencies in the 2.4 GHz band. (Channel 15 cannot be used for data transmission due
to FCC regulations.) All SNAPlink devices that you wish to include in the same network
must be set to identical channel numbers.
SNAPlink devices default to channel 4. If you do not have EasySet available, you can
modify your channel setting using DIP switches inside the SNAPlink enclosure. See the
DIP Switch 1
section for details. Defaulting the device by holding the button while
powering up will set it to use the channel specified by the DIP switches.
The remaining fields on the
Basic
tab relate to the connected serial device. Typically these values will depend on the
target device. Set the items under the
Basic
tab to match the connected serial device.
