3 Setting Up Your Wireless NetworkTo set up and install your wireless network, follow these steps.Disconnect the power from your Sure Cross devices.1. Configure the DIP switches of all devices. For DIP switch configurations, refer to the product's datasheet.2. If your device has I/O, connect the sensors to the Sure Cross devices. For available I/O, refer to the product'sdatasheet. If your device does not have I/O, skip this step.3. Refer to the wiring diagrams to apply power to all devices.• For two LED models, the Gateway's LED 1 is solid green and the Node's LED 2 flashes red to indicate there is noradio link to the Gateway.• For one LED models, the Gateway's LED is solid green and the Node's LED flashes red to indicate there is no radiolink to the Gateway.4. Form the wireless network by binding the Nodes to the Gateway.5. Observe the LED behavior to verify the devices are communicating with each other.• For two LED models, the Gateway's LED 1 is solid green and the Node's LED 1 flashes green to indicate it iscommunicating with the Gateway.• For one LED models, the Gateway's LED is solid green and the Node's LED flashes green to indicate it iscommunicating with the Gateway.6. Configure any I/O points to use the sensors connected to the Sure Cross devices.7. Conduct a site survey between the Gateway and Nodes.8. Install your wireless sensor network components.3.1 Using Extended Address ModeUsing extended address mode isolates networks from one another by assigning a unique code, the extended address code,to all devices in a particular network. Only devices sharing the extended address code can exchange data.In addition to isolating networks, using extended addressing mode allows you to use up to 47 Nodes with a singleGateway. Without extended addressing, only 15 Nodes can communicate with a single Gateway.The extended address code in the Gateway defaults to a code derived from its serial number, although the code can becustomized using the manual binding procedure. Binding DX80 devices "locks" Nodes to a specific Gateway by teaching theNodes the Gateway’s extended address code. After the devices are bound, the Nodes only accept data from the Gatewayto which they are bound.Important: All SureCross Performance Gateways and Nodes are preconfigured for extended addressing mode andcannot use rotary dial address mode. Skip this step in the installation procedure for Performance products.For all other SureCross DX80 models, follow these steps to activateextended address mode. After making any changes to DIP switch settings,you must cycle power to the device or the DIP switch changes will not berecognized.1. Disconnect the Gateway and its Nodes* from their power source.2. Remove the top covers of all radios.3. Move DIP switch 1 to the ON position. (Refer to the DeviceConfiguration section of the device's data sheet for instructions onaccessing the DIP switches.)4. Apply power to the radios.* To cycle power to devices with batteries integrated into the housing,remove the battery for one minute.3.2 Using Performance and Non-Performance Radios in the SameNetworkTo comply with federal regulations, the 150 mW radios and 1 Watt radios communicate differently. To mix Performanceradios with non-Performance radios:• Operate Performance radios in 250 mW mode to communicate with non-Performance radios (DIP switch 1 ON)• Set non-Performance radios to use Extended Address Mode to communicate with Performance radios (DIP switch 1ON)Sure Cross® Performance DX80 Wireless I/O Networks14 www.bannerengineering.com - Tel: 763.544.3164
