Section 4. Setting up Datalogger Networks
Routing Tab
Outbound PakBus Connections
This box is used to specify IP addresses and port numbers for outbound
connections to any of the dataloggers attached to the PakBus TcpServer.
To add a connection, enter the PakBus Address and IP Address in the fields
below the Outbound PakBus Connections box. Then press the Add
Connection button. To remove a connection, highlight the connection to
remove in the Outbound PakBus Connections box and press the Remove
Connection button.
PakBus Address – The address of the device in the PakBus network. This
must match the PakBus address specified on the Hardware tab of the
datalogger.
IP Address – Enter the IP address and port number that is assigned to the
device to which you will be connecting. The address and port are entered in
decimal form in the format XXX.XXX.XXX:YYYY, where the Xs represent
the IP network number and the Ys represent the port number. Leading 0s
should not be entered (e.g., 123.45.6.789:6789; note that 45 was entered
instead of 045, and 6 instead of 006).
Maintained Nodes
This box is used to cause LoggerNet to maintain a connection with a range of
dataloggers attached to the PakBus TcpServer. LoggerNet waits for an
incoming connection from a datalogger in the range. Once an incoming
connection has been established with a datalogger in the range, the connection
is maintained. Multiple ranges can be specified.
To add a range, enter the Range Begin and Range End in the fields below the
Maintained Nodes box. Then press the Add Range button. To remove a
range, highlight the range to remove in the Maintained Nodes box and press the
Remove Range button.
Range Begin – The beginning of the range of PakBus addresses for which a
connection should be maintained.
Range End – The ending of the range of PakBus address for which a
connection should be maintained.
4.2.4.21 SerialPortPool
The SerialPortPool is used to allow LoggerNet to call, by phone, multiple
remote dataloggers, when there is more than one phone line and modem
available to make the connections. With pooled devices, multiple com
port/phone modem combinations can be specified for each datalogger. That
way, LoggerNet is not restricted to the use of a single base modem when
calling a particular station. When calling a station, LoggerNet will decide
which modem from a group (pool) of modems to use. Preference will be given
to a modem based on availability and past performance.
Each remote phone modem and datalogger has its own SerialPortPool device.
