NOTE

Analog and Digital modes are discussed in detail in Section 4.

5.The MXC will next prompt for a digital method of searching. Press one of the following keys.

SHRT ADDR (F1) - Press and then enter the short address (1-15) stored during configuration.

IMPORTANT

The factory default setting for the short address is 0, analog mode.

LONG ADDRESS (F2) - Press and then enter the long address stored in memory at the factory. (The long address, the Dev. ID shown in the On-Line Menu and the XMTR. ID shown by polling are the same.) This address can not be altered.

POLL (F3) - Press to instruct the MXC to look for any live addresses on the multi-drop network (1-15). While the MXC is searching for one or more transmitters, it will display SEARCHING. The MXC will then display the long and short addresses of all live transmitters on the network; select one by pressing the SELECT (F4) key.

To view each of the live transmitters, press the LAST XMTR and NEXT XMTR keys to scroll forward and backward. Each screen will show the transmitter ID number (i.e. device ID or long address in hexadecimal), tagname, and short address. Check IDs against user documentation to confirm that all transmitters are present

If a problem exists in a transmitter or its wiring it will be excluded from the poll. If a major fault exists in the network wiring, the MXC will display the warning message “NO TRANSMITTER FOUND”. Go to section 6.3 Troubleshooting to confirm and resolve wiring problems.

6.Communication has now been established between the transmitter and MXC and the transmitter's configuration has been uploaded to the MXC's On- Line Memory.
