5.6.3 Assigning measurement locations in the data-

base to a sensor unit and bridge

The measurement location report contains all information regard-

ing the assignment of channels to measurement locations. The

respective sensor units are identiﬁed in OMNITREND by means of

their MAC address.

In systems with several bridges, you can assign the sensor units to

any available bridge. However, the following issues should be kept

in mind for proper assignment:

• Select the bridge with the best reception: At every bridge select

“RF Sensor Units” in the main menu, and check the receive level

of the sensor unit you wish to assign (see also '5.3.1 Changing

IP address of bridge', page 32).

• Maximum 50 sensor units can be assigned to each bridge.
