Chapter 2. Initial Setup
2.3 Adding the Sentinel to the Communications Port (cont.)
If PanaView found the meter, a window will pop up and inform the user which Node ID the meter is set to. The operator
can select to use the existing Node ID or a different Node ID (see Figure 32 below).
Note:
The Node ID can be changed later on by going to the meter properties.
After communication has been established, the Node ID can be set to any "master" Node ID. A "master" Node ID is an
integer which is a multiple of 16.
Note:
A "slave" Node ID is all the numbers between two consecutive masters. However the term "slave" does not
apply to the Sentinel.
If "I wish to use a different Node ID" is selected, the window in Figure 29 on page xlvi appears, and the user must then enter
the Node ID number in the
