Campbell Scientific LoggerNet Datalogger Support Software - Manual (Page 88)

Section 4. Setting up Datalogger Networks
LoggerNet to use a default verify interval of 2.5 times the beacon interval. If
the beacon interval is also zero, the default verify interval is 5 minutes.
The format for this field is 00 h(ours) 00 m(inutes) 00 s(econds).
Advanced
Extra Response Time – The amount of additional time, in seconds, that
LoggerNet should wait for this device to respond. Note that Extra Response
Time is cumulative for all devices in the network.
PakBus Address – This field reflects the address of the LoggerNet server.
BMP1 Station ID – The address that will be used for the device in the BMP1
network. When adding a new device to the network, this field will not show up
until after the Apply button has been pressed. The ID will be assigned
automatically by LoggerNet, but can be changed by the user. This allows the
user to designate unique addresses for all BMP1 devices across multiple
LoggerNet networks.
4.2.4.12 MD9 Base
The MD9 base modem has only Hardware and Notes tabs.
LoggerNet assumes an MD9 base modem address of 255.
Therefore, the MD9 base modem must have the hardware switch
ID set to 255 for communication to work.
A PakBus datalogger is added to an MD9 network by attaching a
PakBusPortHD to an MD9 Remote. The PakBus datalogger is
then attached to the PakBusPortHD. Note that this communication
link may be slow. It may take several minutes for the link to be
dropped, once communication is complete. Therefore, you will
not be able to make fast transitions between communication links.
Also, the Status Monitor will reflect this communication link as
marginal.
Standard
Communications Enabled – Before communications can take place, all
devices in the chain must have the Communications Enabled box checked.
When this box is selected, communication to the MD9 base is enabled.
Maximum Time On-Line – This field is used to define a time limit for
maintaining a connection to the device. (This may be useful in avoiding costly
communication costs, in the event that a connection to a station is inadvertently
maintained for a long period of time.) Maximum Time On-Line applies to both
scheduled connections and manual connections. However, for manual
connections from the Connect Screen, it is always best to manually disconnect
rather than relying on LoggerNet to disconnect for you.
