Getting Started with End Node
Configurator
End Node Configurator is a feature-rich application that enables you to upgrade your
MeshScape end nodes by programming:
• group and devices IDs
• default sample interval
• statistics reporting rate
To use End Node Configurator, you will need to:
• connect the target end node that you wish to upgrade to your computer
• run the application on your computer
Connecting the Target End Node to Your Computer
A special terminal board equipped with an RS-232 serial port is included in your Reference Kit
for programming end nodes. This end node terminal board is shown in
Figure B-3.
Figure B-3.Connecting an end node to the programming terminal board
To connect an end node to your computer for programming:
1. Connect the end node to connector P11 on the end node programming terminal board.
2. Connect the supplied RS-232 serial cable between the terminal board and the host PC on
which you will be running the End Node Configurator application.
