Configuring The Rf407-Series Radio; Setting Up Communications Between The Rf407-Series Data Logger And The Computer - Campbell CR300 Series Product Manual

NOTE:
This procedure assumes the RF407 series devices are using factory default settings.

9.2.1 Configuring the RF407-Series radio

Configure the RF407-Series radio connected to the computer (see image in
options (p. 43) for reference).
1. Ensure your RF407-series radio is connected to an antenna and power.
2. If connecting via USB for the first time, you must first install USB drivers using Device
Configuration Utility (select your radio, then on the main page, click Install USB Driver).
Plug the RF407-series radio to your computer using a USB or RS-232 cable.
3. Using Device Configuration Utility, select the Communication Port used for your radio and
connect to the RF407-series radio.
4. On the Main tab, set the Active Interface to USB or RS-232 (depending on how your
computer will be connected to the RF407-series radio).
5. Apply the changes.
6. Connect the RF407-Series radio to the computer communication port selected in the
previous step.
9.2.2 Setting up communications between the RF407-
Series data logger and the computer
These instructions provide an easy way to set up communications between the RF407-series data
logger and the computer connected to the RF407-series radio (as configured in previous
instructions). Follow these instructions multiple times to set up multiple data loggers. In this case,
each data logger must be given a unique PakBus address (see
more information). For more complicated networks, it is recommended that you use Network
Planner.
1. Supply 12 VDC power to the data logger.
2. Ensure the data logger antenna is connected.
3. Using data logger support software, launch the EZSetup Wizard and add the data logger.
