Option S - Configure Sensors to Gateway
Menu option S is for adding or removing sensors that are configured (associated) to the gateway. Up to 100 sensors can be configured
to a gateway and the Sensor IDs (1-00) are typically assigned automatically by the gateway. The configuration process assigns the
Sensor ID and Network ID to each node, and also tells the gateway the model number of the node. Configuration must be performed
before a node is deployed.
A sensor can be connected to the gateway with a USB cable at any time before or after selection menu option S. The USB connector
on the sensor is located inside the enclosure (lower-left inside corner) for battery-powered devices. Open the enclosure using a screw-
driver or other tool with the tabs provided.
When the USB configuration port is connected, the status light on the gateway will BLINK continuously until the sensor is configured. The
light will be solid when the sensor configuration is complete, and turn off when the sensor is disconnected. When the message below is
displayed, the gateway is waiting for a sensor to be connected via USB cable to the gateway through the gateway port labeled "SENSOR
INTERFACE".
