8.5.4.3 Traffic Flow
Keep beacon intervals as long as possible with higher traffic (large numbers of
nodes and / or frequent data collection). Long beacon intervals minimize
collisions with other packets and resulting retries. The minimum recommended
Beacon Interval setting is 60 seconds. If communications traffic is high, consider
setting beacon intervals of several minutes. If data throughput needs are great,
maximize data bandwidth by creating some branch routers, or by eliminating
beacons altogether and setting up neighbor filters.
8.5.5 LoggerNet Network-Map Configuration
As shown in figure Flat Map
(p. 340)
and figure Tree Map
(p. 340)
, the essential
element of a PakBus ® network device map in LoggerNet is the PakBusPort. After
adding the root port (COM, IP, etc), add a PakBusPort and the dataloggers.
