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. This is extremely useful if a gateway in
a deployed network malfunctions or is damaged, because it allows you to simply
replace the bad gateway with a new one by listening for any sensors that were talking
to the previous gateway. Input the network configuration and Network ID that the
deployed sensors were operating on. The gateway will listen for 5 minutes, and
automatically add sensors as they are “heard.” This mode can be terminated at any
time by pressing Shift+L, or repeated if all sensor devices have not been found.
Option 4 allows you to manually add or remove sensors from the gateway. Also, use
this option to update a sensor’s description (helpful if Listening mode was used to
activate sensors).
NOTE:
The operation described here does not configure the wired network parameters of the
replacement/redundant gateway, but only the wireless sensors that are to be
configured to it. See the Network Configuration Guide section of this document for
configuring the wired BAS interface (for example, BACnet, Modbus).
Option P – Print Sensor Data to Screen
Menu option P displays the incoming sensor data on the screen and allows the data to
be captured to a text file (data logging) through Tera Term, another terminal emulator
program, or a custom designed application. When this mode is enabled it will continue
until terminated by typing SHIFT+P.
