14.6 LoggerNet Device Map Configuration
As shown in FIGURE 14.6-1 and FIGURE 14.6-2, the essential element of a
PakBus network device map in LoggerNet is the PakBusPort. After adding the
root port (COM, IP, etc), add a PakBusPort and the dataloggers.
FIGURE 14.6-1. Flat Map
FIGURE 14.6-2. Tree Map
Use the ‘tree’ configuration of FIGURE 14.6-2 when communications requires
routers
. The shape of the map serves to disallow a direct LoggerNet
connection to CR1000_2 and CR1000_3, and implies constrained routes that
will probably be established by user-installed neighbor filters in the routers.
This assumes that LoggerNet beacons are turned off. Otherwise, with a default
address of 4094, LoggerNet beacons will penetrate the neighbor filter of any
in-range node.
