Setting jumpers and terminations
There are two sets of termination jumpers on the WA-NEX, one for each half of the newly
partitioned network. These must be terminated in the same fashion as any other Rako wired
device. As two wired networks are being connected the correct termination for each system
is required.
Terminated
For end of line termination use if the WA-NEX is
connected to anything except a RAK-Star.
Star Terminated
Use this termination if the WA-NEX is connected to
a RAK-Star.
The “Power Link” jumper can be used to connect and disconnect the 15V wired network
supply between the master and remote sides of the system. It may be that each half has its
own power source (RAKLink) and therefore it may be preferable to keep the power separate
whereas a small additional cable run created by the WA-NEX may require power from the
main network.
Adding the WA-NEX as a device
To address the WA-NEX first connect to a Bridge attached
to the Master side in the normal fashion. For full
instructions on how to connect to a Bridge see any of the
Rasoft Pro programming guides.
When the Bridge is successfully connected to Rasoft Pro it
should appear in the communications window with a green
tick next to the Bridge name.
- Select “File” - “New Device” to open the “New Device Wizard”
- Select the WA-NEX from either the “Wired” or “All” device lists.
- Give the device a suitable name, leave “Automatic ID” selected.
