4. DEVICE DISCOVERY TAB, NOT A DEVICE SERVER NODE

If the selected Node is an LNET485 Ethernet I/O board of a meter, only that single host meter
will be discovered as the device for that Node. The Node itself will be shown with an artificially
assigned address of 0. The address of the discovered device will be a number from 1-31 for
device addressing with the Custom ASCII protocol or from 1-247 with the Modbus protocol.
The address of the Node hosting device is always shown in parentheses ( ).

To change the name of the Node or of a discovered device, select the item, enter the desired
name, and press on “Save Name”. The new name will then be stored in the Node and will be
included in emails and streaming data.

Set the same serial settings for the Node and the host device. Make your selections under
“Node’s Settings” (protocol, baud rate, parity), check the box “Force discovered devices to
Node’s settings”, then press “Put” to save your data in the Node.
