The Wireless System Interface allows you to view and configure WirelessHART devices

in a Wireless Network. A Wireless Network is made up of one or more wireless

gateways and WirelessHART devices.

Configuring AMS Device Manager for a Wireless Network

To configure AMS Device Manager for a Wireless Network:

1. Select Start > All Programs > AMS Device Manager > Network Configuration

from the Windows taskbar.

2. In the Network Configuration dialog, click Add.

3. In the Select Network Component Type dialog, select Wireless Network and

click Install.

4. Follow the Add Wireless Network Wizard instructions. Enter the DNS Name or

IP address of a gateway and click Add.

5. If this is the first time a gateway has been configured, a Certificate Form is

displayed. The Certificate Form is required to set up SSL secure

communications. After the Certificate Form is completed, the gateway will be

added to the Connections Properties page.

6. If required, enter the username and password to access the gateway setup

utility. Enter information to allow the gateway and AMS Device Manager to

exchange encrypted data.

7. Start AMS Device Manager. See “Determining the system interface structure

and device data” on page 108.

8. For more information about using a Wireless Network, refer to AMS Device

Manager Books Online.
