Chapter 4. Performing Advanced Functions

With the appropriate knowledge, you can conﬁgure the addIT devices in the ﬁeld by using a hyperterminal window. To conﬁgure the RTU, you will need a special serial cable adapter (not supplied, available from Adcon).

CAUTION Do not try to conﬁgure your addIT devices if you are not sure what to do—the unit may not communicate with the remote measuring station or function with the addVANTAGE software.

WARNING Tampering with parameters for the addIT devices may void your warranty or damage the device. In general, the commands described in this chapter are intended for technical support staff and users with a great deal of highly technical hardware and software experience.

In the system architecture, the base station and RTU are both con- sidered to be nodes. The base station is called the master node, or master, while the RTU is called the slave node, or slave.
