Link Settings
To access the Link Settings dialog after the Channel Wizard has closed, left-click on the channel and select
Properties. Then, select the Link Settings tab.
Station Number
The Station Number should be set based on the device being communicated with (excluding radio modems). The
following should be taken into account:
l If the destination device is on a DH+ or DH-485 network, communication must go through a Serial-to-
DH+/DH-485 converter (i.e. KF2/KF3 module). In this case, the device being communicated with is the
converter, not the destination device itself (which is a Micrologix, SLC500, or PLC-5). The station number
for this configuration should be set to the converter's node address.
