2.1.2.1. Bind a DX80 Node to a DXM and Assign the Node Address
C
:
ONTEXT
Binding Nodes to a Gateway ensures the Nodes only exchange data with the Gateway they are bound to. After a Gateway enters binding mode,
the Gateway automatically generates and transmits a unique extended addressing (XADR), or binding, code to all Nodes within range that are
also in binding mode. The extended addressing (binding) code defines the network, and all radios within a network must use the same code.
1.
Apply power to all the devices.
Separate radios by two meters when running the binding procedure. Put only one DXM Gateway into binding mode at a time to prevent
binding to the wrong Gateway.
2.
Enter binding mode on the DXM radio:
Use the arrow keys to select the ISM Radio menu on the LCD and press ENTER.
a.
b.
Highlight the Binding menu and press ENTER.
3.
Assign the Node address to the Node.
•
For Nodes without rotary dials: Use the DXM arrow keys to select the Node address to assign to the DX80 Node about to enter
binding mode. The DXM assigns this Node address to the next Node that enters binding mode. Only bind one Node at a time.
•
For Nodes with rotary dials: Use the Node's rotary dials to assign a valid decimal Node Address (between 01 and 47). The left
rotary dial represents the tens digit (0 through 4) and the right dial represents the ones digit (0 through 9) of the Node Address.
You can leave the DXM "Bind to" address set to 1 because the Node's rotary dials will override that setting.
4.
Start binding mode on the DXM radio by pressing ENTER on the DXM radio.
5.
Enter binding mode on the DX80 Node.
•
For housed radios, triple-click button 2.
•
For board-level radios, triple-click the button.
•
For Nodes without buttons, refer to the Node's datasheet for instructions on entering binding mode.

The left and right LEDs flash alternately and the Node searches for a Gateway in binding mode. After the Node binds,

the LEDs stay solid momentarily, then they flash together four times. The Node automatically exits binding mode and reboots.
6.
Label the Node with the assigned address number for future reference.
7.
Press BACK on the DXM to exit binding mode for that specific Node address.

The Node LEDs continue to flash red until the DXM exits binding mode with that Node address.

Repeat these steps for as many DX80 Nodes as are needed for your network.
9.
When you are finished binding, press BACK on the DXM until you return to the main menu.
2.1.2.2. Bind a MultiHop Radio to a DXM and Assign the Device ID
P
:
REREQUISITE
Before beginning the binding procedure, apply power to all the devices. Separate radios by two (2) meters when running binding procedure. Put
only one DXM MultiHop client radio into binding mode at a time to prevent binding the server or repeater radios to the wrong client radio.
C
:
ONTEXT
Binding MultiHop radios ensures all MultiHop radios within a network communicate only with other radios within the same network. The MultiHop
client radio automatically generates a unique binding code when it enters binding mode. This code is transmitted to all radios within range that
are also in binding mode. After a repeater/server radio is bound, the repeater/server radio accepts data only from the client radio to which it is
bound. The binding code defines the network, and all radios within a network must use the same binding code.
1.
Enter binding mode on the DXM radio:
a.
Use the arrow keys select the ISM Radio menu on the LCD and press ENTER.
b.
Highlight the Binding menu and press ENTER.
2.
Assign the device address to the repeater or server radios. Valid device IDs are 11 through 60.
•
For MultiHop radios without rotary dials: Use the DXM arrow keys to select the device ID to assign to the MultiHop radio about to
enter binding mode. The DXM assigns this device ID to the next radio that enters binding mode. Only bind one server radio at a
time.
•
For MultiHop radios with rotary dials: Use the MultiHop radio's rotary dials to assign a device ID . The left rotary dial represents
the tens digit (1 through 6) and the right dial represents the ones digit (0 through 9) of the device ID. You can leave the DXM "Bind
to" address set to 1 because the MultiHop's rotary dials will override that setting.
3.
Start binding mode on the DXM radio by pressing ENTER on the DXM radio.
4.
After entering binding mode on the DXM, put the MultiHop repeater or server radio into binding mode.
•
For housed radios, triple-click button 2.
•
For board-level radios, triple-click the button.
•
For radios without buttons, refer to the radio's datasheet for instructions on entering binding mode.

After binding is completed, the MultiHop radio automatically exits binding mode and begins operation.
