8.2.1.2 Configuring the NL240
RS-232 PakBus® Router
• Connect to the NL240 in DevConfig (see Section 7, Configuring the
NL240).
• On the NL240 tab:
o Set Bridge Mode to disable.
• On the RS-232 tab:
o Set Configuration to PakBus.
o Set Baud Rate to baud rate of attached device.
o Set Beacon Interval, Verify Interval, and PakBus Neighbors
Allowed as described above. Often the default values can be used.
However, an allowed neighbors list can be useful in restricting
communication paths.
• On the Network Services tab:
o Make note of the PakBus\TCP Server Port. (The default
PakBus/TCP Server Port is 6785. Unless firewall issues exist, it is
not necessary to change the port from its default value.)
CS I/O PakBus® Router
• Connect to the NL240 in DevConfig (see Section 7, Configuring the
NL240).
• On the NL240 tab:
o Set Bridge Mode to disable.
• On the CS I/O tab:
o Set Configuration to PakBus.
o Set SDC address. (Note that if multiple peripherals are connected to
a datalogger’s CS I/O port, each must have a unique SDC address.)
o Set Beacon Interval and Verify Interval as described above. Often
the default values can be used.
