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. Using either the Print Screen button or copying/pasting the data from
the screen into a text file can be used.
Option L – List Sensors and Latest Data
Menu option L displays the list of sensors configured to the gateway, including the
sensor model and data from the latest packet received.
NOTE:
If the model number is not entered during manual configuration of the gateway, the
model number of the sensor will be blank. This does not impact the operation of the
system in any way with regard to the BAS interface (for example, BACnet, Modbus).
Option M - Configure Replacement of Redundant
Gateway
A unique capability of the gateway is the ability to configure one for redundant
operation. The redundant gateway can be on “hot stand-by” for a remote switchover or
on “warm stand-by” where the network cable needs to be moved from the primary to
the stand-by unit. The configuration for redundancy is also the same as configuring for
replacement in the unlikely event a gateway fails or is damaged. A redundant or
replacement gateway can be configured in just a few minutes.
