2. 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.
3. Start binding mode on the DXM radio by clicking ENTER on the DXM radio.
4. 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 red 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 exits binding mode.
5. Label the Node with the assigned address number for future reference.
6. Click BACK on the DXM to exit binding for that specific Node address.
7. Repeat steps 2 through 5, for as many DX80 Nodes as are needed for your network.
8. When you are finished binding, click BACK on the DXM until you return to the main menu.
Bind a MultiHop Radio to a DXM and Assign the Device ID
Before beginning the binding procedure, apply power to all the devices. Separate radios by 2 meters when running binding
procedure. Put only one DXM MultiHop master radio into binding at a time to prevent binding the slave radios to the wrong
master radio.
1. Enter binding mode on the DXM radio:
a) Use the arrow keys select the ISM Radio menu on the LCD and click ENTER.
b) Highlight the Binding menu and click ENTER.
2. Assign the device address to the repeater or slave radios.
• 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 slave radio at a time.
• For MultiHop radios with rotary dials: Use the repeater or slave's rotary dials to assign a valid decimal device ID
(11 through 60). 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.
3. Start binding mode on the DXM radio by clicking ENTER on the DXM radio.
4. After entering binding mode on the DXM100, put the MultiHop repeater or slave 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 slave automatically exits binding mode and begins operation.
5. Click BACK on the DXM to exit binding for that specific device address.
6. Label the MultiHop slave radio with the assigned address number for future reference.
7. Repeat steps 2 through 6, changing the device address for as many MultiHop slaves as are needed for your
network.
8. When you are finished binding, click BACK on the DXM until you return to the main menu.
All radio devices begin to form the network after the master data radio exits binding mode.
Conduct a Site Survey
Although the MultiHop and DX80 devices are architecturally different, the site survey process is similar when conducted
from the DXM LCD menu.
For a DX80 network, the Gateway controls the site survey and the results display on the LCD. Running Site Survey on a
DX80 network does not affect the throughput of the DX80 network.
For a MulitHop network, the master device passes the site survey request to the intended Modbus slave device. The Site
Survey runs and the results display on the LCD. Running Site Survey on a MultiHop network stops all network traffic to that
device.
1. From the ISM Radio menu, use the down arrow to highlight the Site Survey menu. Click ENTER.
