Banner SureCross DX80 Series Manual page 12

For most installations Banner recommends using binding mode and
extended addressing to establish the wireless networks. Using rotary switch
addressing mode with 1 Watt data radios may allow collocated radios to
interfere with each other.
In rotary dial address mode (DIP switch 8 is OFF), the wireless RF network
is defined by the network ID (NID) assigned to the master and its slaves.
Because the data stream appearing on the serial input of one radio within
the network is reproduced on the serial outputs of all other radios in the
same network, the only configuration necessary is to set the network ID and
device mode.
Within a given network, one device is set to device mode 0 to establish the
master; all other slave devices are set to a device mode of 1. All other device
modes (2–15) are reserved for future use and will not be recognized.
Use the rotary switches (shown right) to define both the NID and device
mode for each device. Follow the steps below to set up your data radio
network.
User Action
Verify DIP switch 8 is in the OFF position.
Remove the rotary switch access covers.
On the master device, set the left rotary switch to 1.
On all slave devices within the same network, set the
left rotary switch to 1.
On the master data radio, set the right rotary switch to
0.
On the slave data radios, set the right rotary switch to
1.
Install rotary switch access covers. Refer to the
installation section for IP67 instructions.
Note: The data radio master device need not be connected to the Modbus master device. The two network functions are independent.
It is Banner Engineering's intent to fully comply with all national and regional regulations regarding radio frequency emissions. Customers who want to re-export this
product to a country other than that to which it was sold must ensure that the device is approved in the destination country. A list of approved countries appears in the
SureCross DX80 Wireless Product Manual, in the Agency Certifications section. Consult with Banner Engineering if the destination country is not on this list.

If you move DIP switch 8 to the OFF position, cycle power to the
device before continuing this procedure.

The factory default NID setting on all devices is 1. Each network
operating in the same area must be set to a unique network ID.
Assign the same NID to all devices within a single network
(hexidecimal 0–F).
A device mode of 0 causes the device to transmit a time
synchronization beacon that is required from only one device
within each network. This is the master device.
A device mode of 1 causes the slave devices to synchronize to the
master device set to the same network ID.
Device modes 2 through 15 are reserved for future use and will
not be recognized as slave devices within the data radio network.
A successful RF link is identified by a blinking green LED 1 on
each slave device.
