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.
NOTE:
Select the Communication Channel before any sensors are configured by the gateway,
as the gateway assigns the Communication Channel to the sensors through the USB
port.
Option N – Configure the Network ID
Menu option N is for configuring the Network ID. The Network ID is a unique identifier
that ensures data packets are received by the proper wireless gateway. There are 26
IDs available for use in the system, which are represented by the letters A through Z.
The system will warn you about changing the Network ID and you must select if you

Network ID preference, and the Network ID 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.
This option allows for easy user selection as well as a range of choices that is large
enough to accommodate large-scale deployment of sensors and gateways in close

NOTE:
Select the Communication Channel before any sensors are configured by the gateway,
as the gateway assigns the Communication Channel to the sensors through the USB
port.
Option S - Configure Sensors to Gateway
Menu option S is for adding or removing sensors that are configured (associated) to
the gateway. Up to 100 sensors can be configured to a gateway and the Sensor IDs
(1-00) are typically assigned automatically by the gateway. The configuration process
assigns the Sensor ID and Network ID to each node, and also tells the gateway the
