Campbell Scientific LoggerNet Datalogger Support Software - Manual (Page 131)

Section 4. Setting up Datalogger Networks
This dialog allows you to specify a user name and password for an
administrative account on the local server and, if you click on the OK button,
will perform the following actions:
• The dialog will connect to the local server and scan its network map for
any serial port devices that use the same serial port name as that specified
in the device configuration dialog.
• For any local LoggerNet device that matches the criteria listed above, the
dialog will attempt to override the communications enabled setting for that
device to a value of false.
• The dialog will wait for the Line State statistics for all matching devices to
report an off-line state.
• The dialog will close once all of the Line State statistics report an off-line
state. At this point, communications will be initiated with the device. The
settings override(s) explained above will be released once configuration of
the device has been completed.
• If you click on the Cancel button at any time while the dialog is waiting
for the local LoggerNet devices, the dialog will be closed and all overrides
cancelled.
If you click on the Bypass button rather than on the OK button, no
communication with the local LoggerNet server will take place. If the Bypass
button is used and LoggerNet is actively using the selected serial port, the
Network Planner’s attempt to use that serial port will fail. Thus, the Bypass
button should only be used if you are certain that conflicts do not exist.
This dialog will not be shown if the Network Planner is launched outside of the
LoggerNet tool bar or if there is no local server reported to be running.
4.3.8.1.2 Settings Generated
The settings for the device will be generated from information contained in the
Network Planner model including device links and activities between devices.
The Network Planner will typically not generate the value for every
conceivable setting for the device but will rather only generate the value for
settings for which it has relevant information. Since each device type has its
own unique set of settings and behaviors, the settings generated will be specific
to each device type.
4.3.8.2 Configuring a LoggerNet Server
The LoggerNet device type is configured using the LoggerNet server protocol
rather than using the device configuration protocol. The dialog that is shown
appears when you start the action of configuring a LoggerNet Server.
