Configuration - Address & Description
Each RTU in the telemetry system should have a unique address. This allows the RTUs to communicate with
each other one at a time and avoids communication fails.
Figure: Address And Description window (displayed if a project is being used)
Site Address: (0-249) Address 250 is reserved for paging parameters and addresses 251 to 255 are
reserved for Toolbox (Configuration, PC Setup, PC’s Network Address) as a PC running Toolbox is treated
like an RTU. Address 0 should not be used for an RTU in a network as address 0 is the global address.
Every RTU (no matter what its address is) will respond to messages for RTU 0. Address 1 is commonly used
for the master RTU.
Site Name: (Only visible when a project is open) 8-character site description. By default, the first 8
characters of Filename.SDB are used.
Site Description: (Optional) A 32-character comment used to describe the RTU site.
