18.3.58.8 RadioNetID

The RadioNetID specifies the identifier for the RF network. The radio will ignore any packets
received that do not use this network identifier - therefore, all radios in the network must use the
same value. Valid entries are between 0 and 32767.

18.3.58.9 RadioProtocol

Specifies the protocol mode that will be used by the radio.
Transparent: Provides a transparent link with no interpretation of the data packet. This mode is
most commonly used with array based dataloggers, and it must be used when communicating
with other transparent devices such as the RF407/412/422, CR300-RF407/CR300-RF412/CR300-
RF422, and CR6-RF407. This mode is also used for non PakBus protocols like Modbus. When
used this way, Retry Level must be set to None.
PakBus Aware: This is the most commonly used protocol setting for PakBus networks. The radio
will automatically inherit an RF identifier equal to the PakBus address of the device to which it is
serially attached. In this mode, the radio will be capable of performing RF level retries and
acknowledgments and provide a more reliable link than Transparent mode used for broadcast
messaging. You do not need to manually set a unique RF Radio Address or a unique PakBus
Address. This device will not appear in PakBus Graph.

18.3.58.10 RadioPwrMode

This setting governs the duty cycle that the radio will use for powering its receiver circuit. As such,
it governs the amortized current drain for the radio. This setting should be set the same for all
radios in the same network. Power Modes include:
Always On: The radio is always on and does not transmit a wakeup header.
.5 Second: The radio wakes every 0.5 seconds for a 100 msec interval to listen for RF activity. It will
transmit a 700 msec wakeup header with the first transmission following a period of RF inactivity.
