2.3.2Linking WAPM’s using the Configuration & Demonstration Tool (CDT)

The Schlage CDT can be used to link WAPM’s to a PIM-485-16-TD-NXT. Refer to the CDT

The PIM-485-16-TD-NXT must be connected to the PC running the CDT using a serial connection (either RS485 or RS232).

Once the PIM-485-16-TD-NXT is connected to the PC and the CDT is running the Link tab on the CDT’s PIM panel is used to control the PIM-485-16-TD-NXT’s Link Mode. The Panel field needs to be set to indicate which WAPM is to be linked. Table 2-6 shows the allowable range of values for the Panel field on the CDT Link tab.
