Figure 42: DevConfig Deployment Tab

As shown in

FIGURE. DevConfig Deployment Tab

p. 64, the

Deployment tab

allows the user to configure the datalogger prior to deploying it.

Deployment

tab settings can also be accessed through the

Setting Editor tab and the Status

table.

The CR200(X) default PakBus address is 1. Unless the CR200(X) is used in a

network, there may be no need to change the PakBus address or any other

default setting.

To change the PakBus address, use the up and down arrows next to the PakBus

Address field or key in the desired number (e.g., 5) and click the Apply button.

The Spread Spectrum radios in the CR200(X) series, and in the RF401, have

address, frequency, and power settings. These addresses are not PakBus

addresses but an address the radio encodes in its message. For radios in a

PakBus network to talk to each other the address and frequency settings must be

the same in ALL radios.

To change radio settings, use the up and down arrows or drop-down menus next

to the field of interest and click the Apply button when finished.

Hop Sequence specifies the hopping sequence that will be used for the

built-in radio. Spread Spectrum radios have a band of frequencies that they

use. The radios “hop” from one frequency to another within this band,

allowing multiple sets of radios to communicate at the same time without

interfering with each other. This value should be set to match the Hop
