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

Configuring and Associating a Wireless Sensor Node to a
Gateway
NOTE:
See Series 4292 Wireless Sensor System Installation Instructions (A6V11521281) for
details on sensor installation and configuration.
A wireless sensor node must first be configured and associated to a particular gateway
(access point) before data will be received by that gateway. This is a simple procedure
that only takes a few seconds per sensor node. The items that are configured are
Network ID and Sensor ID, and these items are automatically assigned by the
gateway.
