Appendix D. Setting Up RF401-to-CR206(X) Communications

5. Network: must match the Network Address setting for all RF401 or

RF430 radios in the Network. All other CR206(X) dataloggers must also

have the same Network setting.

6. Address: Enter 0 if the RF Protocol setting is PakBus. If the RF Protocol

setting is Transparent, enter a number from 0 to 1023. This number must

match the Radio Address setting for all RF401 radios in the network. The

Address setting must also match the setting for all other CR206(X)

dataloggers in the network.

7. Power Mode: Enter a radio “Power Mode” that works with the RF401's

power mode (see Table D-1). Typically, the power mode setting should be

"1 Sec with Long Header" or "8 Sec with Long Header". Although these

power modes introduce 1 second or 8 seconds (respectively) of latency,

they use less power than the "always on" modes. With settings other than

“always on”, the radio receivers turn on periodically for 100 milliseconds.

It is therefore necessary for the transmitting radio to send a long header to

assure that the duty cycling receiver on the other end hears it (see Figures

D-2 and D-3).
