1 Configuration and Operation System Overview Configuration and Operation System Overview The Series 4292 Wireless Sensor System utilizes no-maintenance, battery-powered sensors that transmit temperature, humidity, CO2, and contact status to gateway at a 916MHz frequency that minimizes interference from WiFi networks and improves transmission through walls, floors, and windows. Each gateway receives data from up to 100 sensors and interfaces the BAS via BACnet® MSTP, BACnet® IP, or Modbus RTU and TCP.
Configuration and Operation System Architecture 1 Communication between buildings, less than 250’ apart, is also possible via the use of strategically placed repeaters. Use the Site Survey Tool to validate signal strength in these applications and ensure optimum number and location of repeaters. 7 Siemens Industry, Inc.

Gateway Configuration Configuring and Associating a Wireless Sensor Node to a Gateway 3 Gateway Configuration Each gateway is pre-configured with a Network ID and a communication channel. The Network ID can be changed as needed, or to configure a gateway as a redundant node for higher availability BAS operation. The gateway is configured through two ports as follows: NOTE: See USB Driver Installation (Windows 7 shown) and Installation and Configuration of Tera Term to install the USB driver and Tera Term.
3 Gateway Configuration Configuring and Associating a Wireless Sensor Node to a Gateway Welcome Screen When the USB driver has been properly installed and Tera Term is properly configured, the message Press any key to show menu… will display in the Tera Term window. NOTE: If you see information from wireless packets appearing on the screen and want to see the main menu, type SHIFT+P to cancel print mode. Main Menu - Gateway When any key is pressed, the system menu will appear as shown below.
Gateway Configuration Configuring and Associating a Wireless Sensor Node to a Gateway 3 Option C – Configure the Communication Channel Menu option C is used for configuring the Communication Channel. Two communication channels are available to choose from. The screen capture below highlights the entries needed to change the communication channel. 21 Siemens Industry, Inc.
3 Gateway Configuration Configuring and Associating a Wireless Sensor Node to a Gateway The system will warn you about changing channels, and you must select if you want to continue. If you click Y for yes, at the next prompt, click 1 or 2 to designate your channel preference, and the channel will be immediately changed. If you click N or press any other key, configuration will be cancelled and you will return to the main menu options.
Gateway Configuration Configuring and Associating a Wireless Sensor Node to a Gateway 3 model number of the node. Configuration must be performed before a node is deployed. A sensor can be connected to the gateway with a USB cable at any time before or after selection menu option S. When the USB configuration port is connected, the status light on the gateway will BLINK continuously until the sensor is configured.
3 Gateway Configuration Configuring and Associating a Wireless Sensor Node to a Gateway The sensor descriptions shown on the screen will be different than the Siemens Series 4292 part numbers. A cross reference is as follows: Description Shown inTera Term Siemens Part Number Description 58-N-1201-TX-N QAA4292.EWSC Temperature Sensor with 2 Remote 10k Ohm Type 2 Thermistor Inputs 58-N-1201-TH-N QFA4292.EWSC Temperature/Humidity/ Dew Point Sensor 58-N-1202-CO2-R QPA4292.
Gateway Configuration Configuring and Associating a Wireless Sensor Node to a Gateway 3 message that the sensor configuration has not been changed. Press the SPACE BAR to try configuration again, or disconnect and reconnect the USB cable. After the primary gateway is configured with the desired sensors, it is recommended to capture the configuration data by using Option L, discussed below, to list the sensors on the screen.
3 Gateway Configuration Configuring and Associating a Wireless Sensor Node to a Gateway Click the corresponding number to perform the action described. Option 1 activates all sensors in the gateway up to the maximum available. Option 2 deactivates all sensors in the gateway, allowing for a quick reboot of the system. Option 3 puts the gateway into Listening Mode.
Gateway Configuration Configuring and Associating a Wireless Sensor Node to a Gateway 3 NOTE: The header information and oldest data will scroll off the top of the screen as new information is added to the bottom. If desired, the sensor data can be captured to a text file as it is printed. The data can be saved, along with a time stamp, in a comma delimited text file (CSV) which can be post processed using Excel or other software tool.
3 Gateway Configuration Configuring and Associating a Wireless Sensor Node to a Gateway Option R - Repeater Mode Menu option R is Repeater mode and allows the gateway device to function as a repeater for extended range. Multiple repeaters can be used with a single BAS gateway and allow for an unlimited extension of data range from the wireless sensors in any topology.
Gateway Configuration Configuring and Associating a Wireless Sensor Node to a Gateway 3 Pressing SHIFT+R will toggle the Repeater mode on or off. Option T - Timeout Configuration Menu option T allows you to enable a global timeout for the sensors activated in the system. This timeout will set the data of a sensor, which has not been heard from in the specified time, to zero. This can be used to set alarms for sensors that have stopped communicating. Press SHIFT+T to enable the timeout.
3 Gateway Configuration Configuring and Associating a Wireless Sensor Node to a Gateway You can also update the timeout setting at this point. Click U to update the timeout. Option D - Diagnostic Information for Sensors Menu option D provides network diagnostic information for each sensor for monitoring network robustness, performance, and troubleshooting. Each repeater node in the network increments a hop counter and updates the received signal strength for each data packet.
