Section 4. Setting up Datalogger Networks
When the device is connected in the Connect Screen and the time limit
approaches, a dialog box is displayed warning the user that Max Time On-Line
is about to be exceeded. The dialog box has Reset Max Time and Don’t Reset
buttons. If the Reset Max Time button is pressed, the Max Time On-Line
counter will be reset. If the Don’t Reset button is pressed or if no button is
pressed, the connection will be terminated when Max Time On-Line is
reached.
The format for this field is 00 h(ours) 00 m(inutes) 00 s(econds).
If you are using LoggerNet Admin or LoggerNet Remote 4.0 and
using the Connect Screen to connect to a remote server that is
running an older version of LoggerNet, the behavior will be
different than described above. When connecting to a LoggerNet
3.4.1 server, you will be disconnected with no advanced warning
when Max Time On-Line is reached. A message will be
displayed indicating that Max Time On-Line has been reached.
When connecting to servers older than LoggerNet 3.4.1, the
behavior will be variable. Generally, you will be disconnected at
some point, but the timing of the disconnect will not be
predictable.
NOTE
Maximum Baud Rate – Select the arrow to the right of this field to choose a
maximum baud rate for communication with this device. Note that the actual
rate of communication may be limited by the capability of other devices in the
communications chain.
Advanced
Extra Response Time – In this field, specify the additional time that
LoggerNet should delay before terminating the communications link if there is
no response from the RF95T. Additional time may be needed in instances
where the communications link is noisy or network traffic is heavy.
Maximum Packet Size – Data is transferred in “chunks” called packets. For
most devices the default value is 2048 byes. The value entered in this field can
be changed in 32 byte increments. If a communications link is marginal,
reducing the packet size may improve reliability.
RF Polling Interval – The time interval on which the RF network should be
queried for data. The interval cannot be greater than 20 minutes.
RF Poll Offset –The time into the Polling Interval that the RFBase should
query the RFRemotes for new data. The data is held in the RFBase’s buffer
until it is queried by LoggerNet for the data.
Computer Offset – The time into the Polling Interval that LoggerNet should
query the RFBase for data.
Computer Poll Interval – The time interval on which LoggerNet will contact
the RFBase-TD for data. When this setting is at its default value of 0,
LoggerNet will contact the RFBase-TD at the RF Polling Interval plus the
Computer Offset. If this setting is changed to a non-zero value, LoggerNet will
