Rev 1.3 SignalFire Telemetry

If the node has an awake radio the remote configuration session will be ready immediately.
If it is a sleeping node you must wait for the node to either check-in or send a “beacon” so
that it can be commanded into configuration mode. The Sentinel nodes send a beacon
every 2.5 minutes, while all other sleeping nodes send a beacon every 5.5 minutes. When
the node has entered a remote configuration session you will see a message indicating the slave is
ready. Click Configure to open the configuration window (image on next page).
Make any necessary changes and click the corresponding Set button to save the changes. When
finished with the configuration, close the configuration window and then click the End button in the
Gateway window to end the session. The session will also automatically time-out after 15 minutes of
inactivity and the Node will resume normal operation.
