Hello,
I've changed the network periphals from RF401 to RF450, that I use to communicate between dataloggers CR1000. I've sent the configurations to the new radios, but I've kept the dataloggers configuration as the previous network planner.
When I'd connected all devices the communication didn't work. Should I send the new configutarion saved by the network planner even I haven't changed the dataloggers especifications?
Regards,
Francisco.
The RF450, because of the protocol used to communicate between radios, presents a different network topology than an RF401 network would present with the same radio links. If you define a station as a repeater in an RF401 network, that station must be configured as a PakBus router since it is up to the PakBus stack to handle any store and forward functions in the radio network. With the RF450 network, the radio protocol takes care of this detail so the effective PakBus network topology for this network will be configured as a star with the node attached to the master radio in the middle.
It is likely that, if you simply replaced the radios but failed to modify the datalogger settings, that the wrong nodes are beaconing and, as a result, PakBus discovery is not working.
