CR200 Overview 

To set the PakBus address, use the up and down arrows next to the “Pakbus  
Address” box, or key in the desired number (e.g., 10) and click the 

Apply

 

button.  Leave the PakBus address at 1 for use with the Quick Start Tutorial 
(Section OV4).  Click the 

Disconnect

 button to exit DevConfig.   

OV3.3  CR206, CR211, and CR216 Radio Settings 

The Spread Spectrum radios in the CR206, CR211, and CR216 and in the 
RF400 have address, frequency, and power settings.  These addresses are not 
PakBus addresses but an address the radio encodes in its message.  For two 
radios to talk to each other the address and frequency settings must be the same 
in both radios.   

In a PakBus network addresses and frequency settings in ALL 
radios must be the same. 

NOTE 

CR20X Radios are set up using the Deployment Tab as described in Section 
OV3.3.  The radio settings are described below. 

OV3.3.1  Radio Hop Sequence 

Spread Spectrum radios have a band of frequencies that they use. The radios 
“hop” from one frequency to another within this band, allowing multiple sets 
of radios to communicate at the same time without interfering with each other.  
The “Radio Hop Sequence” determines the sequence in which the hops are 
made. Radios must be set to the same “Radio Hop Sequence” in order to hear 
each other (i.e., for the listening radio to synchronize with the transmitting 
radio and hop to the same frequency at the same time).  

Set the same hop 

sequence in all radios. 

OV3.3.2  Radio Address/Radio Net Address 

The “Radio Address” and “Radio Net Address” combined are sent as part of a 
packet header with each message. Even if a radio is on the same hop sequence 
and can hear another radio, it ignores the message unless that message has its 
address in the header

.  Set the same “Radio Address” and “Radio Net 

Address” in all radios.  

RF400 Spread Spectrum Radios that communicate with the 
CR206, CR211, or CR216 must also be set to the same Radio 
Address and Radio Net Address.  See the RF400 manual for 
directions on setting these parameters in the RF400. 

NOTE 

OV3.3.3  Radio Power Mode 

The Radio Power Mode setting determines what portion of the time the radio is 
powered up “listening” for incoming transmissions and how much power the 
radio/datalogger consumes from its power supply.  

RF_ON: Radio standby receive current <24 mA.  

The Radio Receiver is 

always on.  This provides the fastest response when the datalogger will be 
interrogated but because of the current should only be used where an AC 
backed power supply is available or the speed is absolutely necessary.
