PakBus Settings
• Device addresses are automatically allocated but can be changed.
• Device connections are used to determine whether neighbor lists should be
specified.
• Verification intervals will depend on the activities between devices.
• Beacon intervals will be assigned but will have default values.
• Network role (for example, router or leaf node) will be assigned based on
device links.
Device Links and Communication Resources
• Disallow links that will not work.
• Comparative desirability of links.
• Prevent over-allocation of resources.
• Optimal RS-232 and CS I/O ME baud rates based on device links.
• Optimal packet-size limits based on anticipated routes.
Fundamentals of Using Network Planner
• Add a background (optional)
• Place stations, peripherals, etc.
• Establish links
• Set up activities (scheduled poll, callback)
• Configure devices
• Configure LoggerNet (adds the planned network to the LoggerNet Network
Map)

• Common Uses of the Status Table (p. 604)
• Status Table as Debug Resource (p. 485)
The Status table, CR1000 settings, and the DataTableInfo table (collectively,
Status/Settings/DTI) contain registers, settings, and information essential to
setup, programming, and debugging of many advanced CR1000 systems.
Status/Settings/DTI are numerous. Note the following:
• All Status/Settings/DTI, except a handful, are accessible through a keyword.
This discussion is organized around these keywords. Keywords and
descriptions are listed alphabetically in sub-appendix Status/Settings/DTI
Descriptions (Alphabetical)
(p. 611).
• Status fields are read only (mostly). Some are resettable.
• Settings are read/write (mostly).
• DTI are read only.
• Directories in sub-appendix Status/Settings/DTI Directories
(p. 604) list several
groupings of keywords. Each keyword listed in these groups is linked to the
relevant description.
• Some Status/Settings/DTI have multiple names depending on the interface
