Setting the Highest Station Address
The Setup Menu allows you to set the highest station address for the TD 200. This
setting tells the TD 200 which network addresses to check when looking for other
network master devices. The default highest station address is 31. This means that
the TD 200 checks addresses 0 through 31 when looking for other network
masters. This setting should only be changed when there are more than 32 master
devices on the network.
Note
At 9600 or 19.2 kbaud, the highest station adress may need to be increased, even though
the network does not contain more than 32 masters. Increasing the highest station address
allows more time for the masters to transmit messages.
