ADAM-2000 Series User Manual 38
Once the Coordinator, Routers and End Devices are connected in the same Pair ID
then all devices can be configured through AdamApax .NET Utility for Normal Mode
operation. (For detailed operation and functionality of AdamApax .NET Utility, please
refer to Chapter 5.) Push the Mode Switch to the Normal position to reboot
the device to Normal Mode.
4.2.1.3 Router and End Device Connection Network limitation
When we adopt a large number of ADAM-2000 devices in one application architec-
ture, which may cause low network performance or data package transmission colli-
sion. Assume ADAM-2520Z like a funnel which receives data around routers and end
devices, if setting too fast transmission interval that will generate high data package
transmission collision during the transmission then affect network performance and
data receiving.
The images below comparisons between Multi-End Device performance and the
relationship between Multi-End Devices and Routers. Their purpose is to assist the
user in installing the ADAM-2000 devices in a proper network configuration and oper-
ation.

Note! To set up the Coordinator, Routers and End Devices, make sure they
are in the same mode, otherwise they can't be configured.
