After setting both the Network ID and Device Address for all devices, re-install the rotary dial access covers, referring to
the Installation section for IP67 instructions. A successful radio link is identified by a blinking green LED 1 on each Node.
5.10.4 Setting Up Channel Search Mode
A Gateway runs Channel Search Mode on power up or when the Gateway’s Network ID is changed.
Before beginning, apply power to the Gateway.
After Channel Search Mode begins, the Gateway determines if its assigned Network ID is available for use or is already in
use by another radio network. For example, if a Gateway powers up set to Network ID 2, Channel Search Mode begins
running as shown below.
1. Apply power to the Gateway and set the rotary dial to a Network ID number (shown here as Network ID 2).
Channel Search Mode begins running, and LED 1 is solid red and LED 2 is flashing amber. The LCD displays START
CHANNL SEARCH MODE. The test takes one minute to complete and counts down from 60 seconds. The LCD shows
SEARCH NID 2 1M 0S. If the Network ID is not already in use, the LCD displays NID OK and enters RUN mode.
2. If the Network ID is already in use by another DX80 Gateway device, an IN USE message displays. Use the left rotary
dial to select another ID.
3. After selecting a new Network ID, click button two once to restart Channel Search Mode.
The screen cycles between displaying the current Network ID setting and a new NID setting until either the left rotary
dial is changed to another Network ID or the test is aborted. (LED 1 is solid red and LED 2 flashes red.) Once a new
Network ID is selected, Channel Search Mode begins again.
4. After entering RUN mode, the LCD display shows the current I/O status of the Gateway.
The Gateway and GatewayPro start in *RUN mode. The LCD shows the current Network ID (NID), identifies the device,
then beings cycling through the I/O points (GatewayPro has no I/O points).
To cancel Channel Search Mode, double-click button two. The word ABORT displays on the LCD and both LEDs are solid
red. The Gateway enters RUN mode, operating on the Network ID chosen.
To ignore the Channel Search Mode results and use a Network ID that Channel Search Mode determined was in use,
double-click button two. The word IGNORE displays on the LCD and both LEDs are solid red. The Gateway enters RUN
mode, operating on the Network ID chosen despite being in use by another device.
