on which your manager is communicating. The System LED on the front of the Watchdog
Wi serves as an indicator in the same manners as LED on the front of the sensors. You
can determine on which channel pair your Watchdog Wi is communicating by looking at
the System LED on the front of the enclosure. This LED blinks randomly once every 10 -
20 seconds. If the LED blinks blue, the Watchdog Wi is communicating on channel pair 1. If
the LED blinks green, the Watchdog Wi is communicating on channel pair 2. You can also
access the Watchdog Wi's web interface to determine on which channel pair the unit is
communicating. Click the Admin link in the left navigation bar and then click the Radios link
to access the Radio Configuration page. The channel pair number indicated by a check
mark and darker shading in the Manager Frequency Channel Pair field is the active
communication channel pair.
Change the Manager's Channel Pair
Access the Watchdog Wi's web interface. Click the Admin link in the left navigation bar
and then click the Radios link to go to the Radio Configuration tab. Click the toggle button
to select Manager Channel Frequency Pair 2. Click the Save Changes button to execute
the channel pair change. Once the changes have been saved, look at the LED on the front
of the Watchdog Wi. It blinks green to indicate it is operating on channel pair 2. If you
should need to change the Watchdog Wi back to channel pair 1, return to this web page,
click the toggle button to select channel pair 1, and click the Save Changes button. Then
verify the Watchdog Wi is communicating on channel pair 1 by checking the System LED
and ensuring it blinks blue.

Watchdog Wi Range Extender

Add A Watchdog Wi Range Extender To Your System
Watchdog Wi sensor and manager systems have an unprecedented transmission range:
up to 100 feet through multiple walls, up to 270 feet through one wall, and up to 600 feet
indoor, direct line of sight. While this range is more than ample for most situations,
sometimes applications require signals to be pushed through more complex physical or
noisy RF environments. The Watchdog Wi range extender is designed to provide the
extra signal strength the Watchdog Wi system needs to thrive in these environments.
To add a Watchdog Wi Range Extender to your application, connect the antennas
(magnetic base antennas into ports A and B, and swivel antenna into port C) and apply
power to the device. Ensure the most effective antenna placement - antennas A and B can
be close together, but to avoid signal interference they need to be as far away from
antenna C as your installation will allow. Extend the leader cables on the antennas to their
fullest lengths and secure the antennas as far away from the Watchdog Wi - and has high
off the ground - as possible. Access the Watchdog Wi's web interface and navigate to the
Admin > Radio Configuration page. Radio C needs to be on in order for the Watchdog Wi
to communicate with the Watchdog Wi Range Extender. The Watchdog Wi Range
Extender can communicate on alternate channel pairs in order to maximize the efficiency
of the system. If you'd like to use an alternate channel configuration, refer to Watchdog Wi
Channel Pairs .
