5OPERATION
The Network Router creates and maintains the connections between Sintrol
Products and Sintrol’s PC software, thus the main operation of the Network Router
is mostly transparent.
Device itself has but a few configuration related controls of its own. All the controls
are managed by the dedicated Sintrol PC-softwares: DustTool and/or DustLog.
5.1 PARAMETERS
On the parameters tab the router name can be changed in order to easier identify
the unit.
Device also measures the power source it is connected to and shows the measured
input voltage for diagnostic reasons. If no input voltage can be detected, the
device is not fully working.

5.2 PROPERTIES
Network Router controls the network communication of the RS485. On the
properties tab it is possible to set different behaviors for the unit, which will affect
the whole communications network.
NOTE: Changing default setting on the properties tab may result in communication
malfunctions or even losing the control over the Network Router.
RS485
When device is operating as a router, the RS485 role must always be set to Sintrol
Network as a network master. Integration the unit with MODBUS-protocol is
beyond this document.
USB
When device is operating as a wireless router, the USB must always be enabled
and set to Sintrol Network. Setting protocol to ‘text protocol’ will disconnect the
device from PC-software and should only be used by trained service personnel.
Security key
For the whole network, an optional security key can be assigned. This key will close
the network so, that no new devices can be added into the network without this
key.
Lock password
Lock password will lock all the parameters of this unit. In order to change any
parameters after locking the device, it needs to be unlocked with the correct
password. Do not lose the password!
Device password
This is the unique factory password of the device that can be used to open in-built
device specific debug and maintenance features of the device.
This feature can be used ONLY by approved Sintrol Service personnel.
