Addressing
Serial
Number
as
Address:
Tick this checkbox if you want the address to be obtained automatically from the device's serial
number.
Address Offset:
If the 'Use Serial number as Address' check box is enabled, then an optional offset can be
entered which can be used to categorise units into regions.
Note
: The address obtained by
adding the serial number and offset must not exceed 32767.
Comms address:
If the automatic serial number mode is not enabled, enter the communication address for the
device (the factory default is 1). This address is used to identify the unit in all HyQuest protocol
communication and must be unique on a HydroTel™ communications interface.
Base Address:
Address of the base station to use when calling back using the RS232 telemetry mode. The base
address is normally set to zero.
If the unit will be expected to call back to HydroTel via a gateway site elsewhere, the
base address must be set to a suitable value (normally the gateway offset setting in
the gateway iRIS). If the base address is left set to zero in this situation, call-backs will
fail.
Gateway Offset:
Use 0 to disable gateway communication. If this is not zero, then addresses within a gateway
range defined by the Gateway Range setting will be forwarded. E.g. If the Gateway Offset is set
to 1000 and the Gateway Range is set to 50, then communications to devices with addresses
from 1000 to 1049 will be forwarded.
Gateway Range:
This sets the number of contiguous addresses starting from the Gateway Offset that will be
included in the communications gateway check.
