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)
