NL200/201 Network Link Interface • On the NL200 tab: o Set Bridge Mode to "disable". • On the RS-232 tab: o Set Configuration to "PakBus". o Set Baud Rate to baud rate of attached device. o Set Beacon Interval, Verify Interval, and PakBus Neighbors Allowed as described above. Often the default values can be used. However, an allowed neighbors list can be useful in restricting communication paths. • On the Network Services tab: o Make note of the PakBus\TCP Server Port. (The default PakBus/TCP Server Port is 6785. Unless firewall issues exist, it is not necessary to change the port from its default value.) CS I/O PakBus Router • Connect to the NL200/201 in DevConfig (see Section 6, Configuring the NL200/201). • On the NL200 tab: o Set Bridge Mode to "disable". • On the CS I/O tab: o Set Configuration to "PakBus". o Set SDC address. (Note that if multiple peripherals are connected to a datalogger's CS I/O port, each must have a unique SDC address.) o Set Beacon Interval and Verify Interval as described above. Often the default values can be used. • On the Network Services tab: o Make note of the PakBus\TCP Server Port. (The default PakBus/TCP Server Port is 6785. Unless firewall issues exist, it is not necessary to change the port from its default value.) 7.1.3 LoggerNet Setup • In LoggerNet's Setup Screen, press Add Root and choose "IPPort". Input the NL200/201's IP address and port number. The IP address and port number are input on the same line separated by a colon. • Add a PakBus Port (PakBusPort). 13

NL200/201 Network Link Interface
On the NL200 tab:
o
Set Bridge Mode to “disable”.
On the RS-232 tab:
o
Set Configuration to “PakBus”.
o
Set Baud Rate to baud rate of attached device.
o
Set Beacon Interval, Verify Interval, and PakBus Neighbors Allowed
as described above.
Often the default values can be used.
However,
an allowed neighbors list can be useful in restricting communication
paths.
On the Network Services tab:
o
Make note of the PakBus\TCP Server Port.
(The default PakBus/TCP
Server Port is 6785.
Unless firewall issues exist, it is not necessary to
change the port from its default value.)
CS I/O PakBus Router
Connect to the NL200/201 in DevConfig (see Section 6,
Configuring the
NL200/201
).
On the NL200 tab:
o
Set Bridge Mode to “disable”.
On the CS I/O tab:
o
Set Configuration to “PakBus”.
o
Set SDC address.
(Note that if multiple peripherals are connected to a
datalogger’s CS I/O port, each must have a unique SDC address.)
o
Set Beacon Interval and Verify Interval as described above.
Often the
default values can be used.
On the Network Services tab:
o
Make note of the PakBus\TCP Server Port.
(The default PakBus/TCP
Server Port is 6785.
Unless firewall issues exist, it is not necessary to
change the port from its default value.)
7.1.3 LoggerNet Setup
In LoggerNet’s Setup Screen, press Add Root and choose “IPPort”.
Input
the NL200/201’s IP address and port number.
The IP address and port
number are input on the same line separated by a colon.
Add a PakBus Port (PakBusPort).
