Section 14. PakBus Networking
14-6
Example Network – RF401 Stand-alone Router
(can replace CR800_10 - RF401 Router)
Setup Description
General If RF401 settings have changed from factory defaults, use Device Configuration
Utility to set factory defaults. Then proceed with setups below.
Active Interface
(Port)
Use Device Configuration Utility for setup.
Set to PakBus Router.
Hopping Sequence Set to 1 (same as the rest of the network).
Network Address Set to 2 (same as the rest of the network).
Radio Address Not used (leave at 0).
Retry Level Set to Medium (same as the rest of the network).
Protocol Set to PakBus Node.
PakBus Address
(PBA)
Set to 10.
(Retire CR800_10 from the network or change its PBA to avoid conflict in the
network.)
PakBus Beacon
Interval
Set to 0 (no beacons).
PakBus Allowed
Neighbors
In Device Configuration Utility connect to RF401, click on PakBus tab, and type
“20” for Allowed Neighbor under both Begin and End headers. Click on Add
Range and Apply.
PakBus Verify
Interval
Set to 60 (seconds).
Central router Not used (leave at 0).
Remove CR800_10 from the network and put the RF401 stand-alone router in
its place (with AC adapter). You should see the same PakBus Graph network
map as before.
14.2 Network Configuration Basics
The general approach to creating PakBus networks is as follows (the order in
which the steps are completed can vary):
PAKBUS NETWORK SETUP
1. Create Router / Leaf-node scheme
2. PakBus address assignments
3. Neighbor discovery setups
4. Router setups
5. Communication peripheral setups
6. LoggerNet device map creation
