Notes
If you have already set up the *D15 Router Table, as soon as you compile
neighbor filter settings the datalogger starts sending hello messages. The
potential neighbors soon appear in the *D17 Routing Table, enabling the
datalogger to communicate with those devices (now neighbors) and, possibly,
use them as routers.
If you have two in-range routers using neighbor filters, in order for them to
discover one another you must list each of them as a potential neighbor in the
other’s neighbor filter.
You can change the neighbor filter using a CR10KD and *D19. Changes take
place immediately as you edit and press A. Pressing *0 saves any edits to flash
memory.
Collect any wanted data before typing *0 to save *D19 edits
to flash, because final storage data is cleared!
If you want to delete a setting, for example, a “17” port, type “0” over the 17
and press A to enter. Then type the desired port, if any, over the “0” and finish
the configuration. Entering “0” or changing *D19’s com port code resets the
datalogger’s neighbor list and routing table. This is a way to reset device
discovery.
If you type, for example, “17” over “02” without first typing “0”
and A to enter, you will end up with two ports (02 and 17).
Multiple Ports
You can *D19 configure multiple ports. For example, you can configure a 17
(CSDC 7) port with some PakBus Addresses, then configure a 02 (Modem
Enabled) com port with other addresses. For example, a datalogger can be
configured to support, as potential neighbors, links through a CSDC 7 RF400
and links through a CSDC 8 MD485.
To program two *D19 potential neighbor ports:
• Type *D19 A
• Type 17 A (for CSDC 7 port)
• Type 60 A (for comms verification interval)
• Type xxx A (1
st
PakBus Address)
• Type nn A (swath of nn addresses)
• Press B repeatedly until back to window displaying com port “17”
• Type 18 A to create a new port (CSDC 8)
• Type 60 A (for comms verification interval)
