2.7.2 DIP Switch Setup: Network ID (NID)

Each sensor network has a unique Network ID (or NID).

For the End Device and the Coordinator setup the Network ID with DIP switches #6 - 8 If there is no other IEEE 802.15.4 system, the default NID can be used where all three dip switches are OFF.

DID (Device ID): The first 5 DIP switches used to assign a device number to an End Device.

NID (Network ID): The last 3 DIP switches used to assign a unique network number to a network of a Coordinator and End Device(s).

PID (Personal Network ID): The sum of the Network ID and 0x3332.

Once the End Devices and the Coordinator start communicating, make sure to push DIP switch #1, located on the back of the Coordinator to the ON position. This will lock the Coordinator on the same channel it initially established the connection.

It’s a good practice to record NID and DID numbers on designated labels placed on the Coordinator and End Devices.
