    Appendix A) and an RS-232 port for communication. The NL110 is configured as a PPP connection. All of the available settings are described in Section 2.3. This manual will focus on setting up the NL110 for a connection in an RWIS ESS application.
  • Page 6 Environment Temperature: -25° to +50°C Power Supply Requirements The NL110 is powered via the green G 12 V connector (11 to 16 VDC at 140 mA average current) on the front panel of the unit. Cable Specifications The Ethernet 10 Base-T cable should be a Category 5 twisted pair cable.

    NL110 and your computer. One end of the cable is connected to the computer's 9-pin RS-232 communications port and the other end is connected to the RS-232 port of the NL110. If the null-modem cable does not have a female connector on both ends, you may also need a female-to-female adapter.

    NL110 NTCIP Interface The boot jumper is shown in Figure 2 below. The NL110 ships with this jumper connected to only one post. Place the jumper so that it connects the two posts. Jumper FIGURE 2. NL110 Jumper Placement When the jumper is in place, open the HyperTerminal connection to the NL110 and power up the device.
  • Page 10 2.3.3 Edit The Edit menu option is used to set up the communications link for the NL110. You can progress through the menu options by pressing <Enter>. If you make a mistake after entering a setting, press the up cursor arrow on your keyboard to return to the previous setting.
  • Page 11 SDC addresses. SDC7 is the setting for the NL1110. CS I/O Beacon Interval - The NL110 can be set to transmit a beacon to a PakBus network via the selected port. The beacon allows the NL110 to determine which devices in the PakBus network it can communicate with.
  • Page 12 NL110 NTCIP Interface PakSer - The CS I/O port of the NL110 can be configured as a PakBus serial server. This sets up the device as a serial server. In this mode, PakBus framing is removed from the packet and routed via the CS I/O port. Typically, the attached device would be one that does not support PakBus communication (such as an array-based CR10X).
  • Page 13 RS-232 port. RS-232 bps - This is the bits per second (bps) at which the NL110 will communicate using the RS-232 port. This is a fixed rate (i.e., it is not a maximum baud rate or an autobaud rate).
  • Page 14 PakBus node Id (1..4094) [678]: Clock neighbor node Id (0..4094) [1]: If the NL110 is to be used in a PakBus network, a PakBus Node ID must be assigned. If the NL110 will not be used in a PakBus network, this setting can be ignored.
  • Page 15 2.3.3.8 PakTcp Client Config PakTcp client config (enabled, disabled) [disabled]: Enabling this option will set up the NL110 to act as a client in a PakBus network. In this mode, the NL110 will actively maintain a TCP/IP connection with a PakTcp server over the 10 Base-T connection. The Server IP address is the address of the server to which the NL110 will attempt to connect and act as a client.
  • Page 16 Settings were changed (save, cancel): 2.3.4 Reset This option reboots the NL110, using the last saved settings that have been programmed by the user. This option is different from the Defaults menu item. The Defaults menu item resets the NL110 back to the factory defaults.

  • Page 23 Appendix C. 10 Base-T Cabling The cable that runs from the computer to the NL110 should be a Category 5 twisted pair cable. If the NL110 will be connected directly to the computer, a crossover cable should be used. If the NL110 will be connected to the computer through a hub, a straight through cable should be used.

  • Page 27 PakBus - PakBus is a packet-based communications protocol developed by Campbell Scientific. One of the advantages of PakBus is that other communications protocol packets, such as TCP/IP or MODBUS, can be "wrapped" in a PakBus packet and transferred among PakBus devices in the network, thus allowing various communication protocols within one network.
