Device network configuration

2.5.1

Join to network

Fast Keys
In order to communicate with the Smart Wireless Gateway, and ultimately the Host System, the
transmitter must be configured to communicate over the wireless network. This step is the
wireless equivalent of connecting wires from a transmitter to the host system.

Using a Field Communicator or AMS to communicate with the transmitter, enter the Network ID
and Join Key so they match the Network ID and Join Key of the Smart Wireless Gateway and the
other devices in the network. If the Network ID and Join Key are not identical to those set in the
Gateway, the transmitter will not communicate with the network. The Network ID and Join Key
may be obtained from the Smart Wireless Gateway on the Setup>Network>Settings page on
the web server.
2.5.2

Configure update rate

Fast Keys
The Update Rate is the frequency at which a new measurement is taken and transmitted over
the wireless network. This by default is 1 minute. This may be changed at commissioning, or at
any time via AMS. The Update Rate is user selectable from 1 second to 60 minutes.
