Configuring a Node’s Operation
Configuring RS-232 Operation (MN-5409 only)
The following procedure describes the steps that need to be taken to set up the hardware and
configure a mesh node for RS-232 operation (see
Figure 3-19):
1. Use a DB-9 cable to connect the network device to the RS-232 female connector using
the pinout information provided in
Figure 3-19.
2. From MeshScape Network Monitor, double-click on the desired device from the list of
discovered sensor nodes. The Device window is opened, displaying the device’s current
configuration.
3. From the Config panel, select Serial Data: RS-232, then Update. The RS-232 connector is
ready for operation (digital function is disabled).
4. (optional) To send serial data to the mesh node, enter the data in the Out panel, then
select Send Data.
