ZFR1800 Series Wireless Field Bus System Technical Bulletin 75
Invalid Solutions
Improper application of the partial network setup procedure (sometimes called the
candle method) has shown the partial network setup procedure to be inadvisable in
a variety of settings, particularly in hallways. Figure 26 and Figure 27 show
misapplications using a partial network setup.
IMPORTANT: Using a Network Reform command through any method
(ZFR1810 button, ZFR Checkout Tool, or Metasys Site Management Portal)
results in the improperly created address depths dropping out of the network. To
avoid this problem, use one of the recommended valid solutions (see Val id
Solutions).
