6.2
Defining MicroNet Communications Parameters
1
Select a network from the
Network Type
drop-down menu. The
options are
Micronet NCP
,
Satchnet NCP
or
Micronet Arcnet
.
2
Set the baud rate of the connected network from the
Baud Rate
drop-down menu. The options are
1200
,
4800
,
9600
,
19200
and
38400
.
3
Enter the
Subnet Address
of the Xenta 555 (any number from 1 to
127 inclusive, default is 1).
4
Enter the
Node Address
of the Xenta 555 (any number from 1 to
255 inclusive, default is 254).
5
Select either
Y
or
N
from the
Update Subnet
drop-down menu.
This defines whether Subnet address broadcasts are made to the
connected network. Set this to
Y
if an MN MI is not present.
6
Enter the
Time Update Interval
. This is the interval in minutes
between time broadcasts to the connected network (any number
from 0 to 1440 inclusive, default is 10).
7
Enter the
VisiSat Port
number. This defines the TCP/IP port that
VisiSat will connect to using the VisiSat IP Tunnel (any number
from 0 to 65535 inclusive, default is 7001). Refer to Section 4.1.2,
“MicroNet Access (VisiSat Port)”, on page 27 for further informa-
tion.
Note
In practice, it is usual to accept the defaults for NCP and ARCNET
networks.
Note
An Arcnet network must connect via an MN MI, whilst an NCP net-
work must connect directly to the RS485 network. A Satchnet net-
work must not connect via an MN MI or an MIU.
Note
If an MN MI is detected the communications interface will automat-
ically set the MN MI to run at 38400 and then switch to the faster
speed. Other connections will run at the programmed baud rate.
Note
Broadcasts are made every five minutes if enabled. Subnet broad-
casts are automatically disabled at the driver if an MN MI is detected.
