4.4.1. Unit Name
The NETNodes are uniquely identified by the Node ID parameter which is a number
between 0 and 11.
This is not a very useful name for normal operations so this text box allows you to enter a
better description for the node which will appear on network diagrams and maps within the
software.
1. Type in a meaningful name for the NETNode.
2. This name will be used in all maps and network diagrams for this node
Note: You can use up to 12 alphanumeric characters for the Unit name
4.4.2. Control/Data Port
On a Phase 1 NETNode unit the Control/Data port uses the CA0288-5 cable which has an
Amphenol 19-way plug (m) on one end and two D-Type 9-way plugs (f) on the other end
labelled RS232 and RS485. On a Phase 2 Plain box NETNode the Control/Data port is labelled
AUX and uses the CA0474 cable which has two D-Type 9-way plugs (f) on the other end
labelled RS232 and RS485. On a Phase 2 Robust unit the Control/Data port uses CA0406
which has an Amphenol plug (m) on one end and two D-Type 9-way plugs (f) on the other
end labelled RS232 and RS485.
Normally we use RS232 for Control.
