Campbell CR6 - Configuring the Data Logger Acting as a Router; Configuring the RF407-Series Radio

l Ensure your data loggers and RF407-series radios are each connected to an antenna and
power.
l Configure your connection to the RF407-series devices using Device Configuration Utility.
l Assign unique PakBus addresses to each data logger using Device Configuration Utility.
(Connect to each data logger, and set the PakBus Address on the Deployment | Datalogger
tab.)
l Configure the data logger acting as a router.
l Use data logger support software to set up communications between the computer and the
data loggers.
Configuring the RF407-Series radio
Configure the RF407-Series radio connected to the computer (see previous image for reference).
1. Ensure your RF407-series radio is connected to an antenna and power.
2. If connecting via USB for the first time, you must first install USBdrivers using Device
Configuration Utility (select your radio, then on the main page, click Install USBDriver).
Plug the RF407-series radio to your computer using a USB or RS-232 cable.
3. Using Device Configuration Utility, select the Communication Port used for your radio and
connect to the RF407-series radio.
4. On the Main tab, set the Active Interface to USB or RS-232 (depending on how your
computer will be connected to the RF407-series radio).
5. Apply the changes.
6. Connect the RF407-Series radio to the computer communication port selected in the
previous step.
Configuring the data logger acting as a router
1. Supply power to the data logger. If connecting via USB for the first time, you must first
install USB drivers by using Device Configuration Utility (select your data logger, then on
the main page, click Install USBDriver). Alternately, you can install the USBdrivers using EZ
Setup. A USB connection supplies 5 V power (as well as a communication link), which is
adequate for setup, but a 12 V battery will be needed for field deployment. Ensure the data
logger antenna is connected.
2. Using Device Configuration Utility , connect to the RF407-series data logger that will serve
as a router.
3. On the Deployment > Datalogger tab, assign a unique PakBus Address (see PakBus
communications (p. 103) for more information).
