Configuring network properties

Before discovering devices, this procedure configures general network properties.

Prerequisites: The JACEcontroller is installed, your computer is connected to the network and running Workbench.

Perform the following steps:

Right-click the MbusSerialNetwork component in the Nav tree, and click Views > Property Sheet.
The Property Sheet opens.
Configure properties based on the meters you are about to discover.
Consider setting:
- Retry Count to zero (0). This is because of some of the testing mechanisms required for changing slave parameters.
- Response Timeout to 12.5 seconds.
- Inter Message Delay to 12.0 seconds.
Expand the Serial Port Config property and enter the Port Name.
Set up serial port properties.
The defaults are: none, 300, 8, 1, Even.
