Section 14. PakBus Networking
14-9
User configured verification intervals should be based on the timing of normal
communications such as scheduled LoggerNet collections or datalogger to
dataloggers communications. The idea is to not allow the verification interval
to expire before normal communications. If the verification interval expires
the devices will initiate hello exchanges to try and regain neighbor status
consuming a little bandwith.
14.2.4 Router Setup
The CR800 is by default a leaf-node (routing functions disabled). To enable
the CR800 as a router, set the IsRouter setting to “True” or “1” (see 14.4
Settings Editors). If you have more than 50 nodes in your network, it will be
necessary to increase the PakBus Nodes Allocation from the default of 50.
14.2.4.1 Stand-alone Routers
Setting the RF401 protocol to PakBus Node allows you to assign a PakBus
address to the radio itself and configure it as a stand-alone router (see RF401
series manual). As a router, you can configure it to discover by Neighbors
Allowed and Verify Interval xxx or by Beacon Interval. If there are to be
branch routers/central routers, you can list the Central Routers in an RF401
using the Device Configuration Utility or PakBus Graph/Settings.
14.2.4.2 Branch Routers
RF401 series stand-alone routers have less memory available for routing
functions than datalogger routers. As a rule, for networks of over ten stations
that have one or more RF401 stand-alone routers, it is necessary to configure
branch routers.
Creating branch routers is done indirectly by designating some centrally
located routers as central routers and listing the central routers in all the
remaining routers (now branch routers). See 14.3 Branch Routers and Central
Routers for more information.
14.2.5 Communication Peripheral Setup
14.2.5.1 Com Ports
In PakBus networks use the communication peripheral’s CSDC 7 or CSDC 8
active interface. It is more efficient than the default Auto-Sense (ME) port.
