Wireless sensor system

Press the corresponding number to perform the action described.
Option 1 will activate all sensors in the gateway up to the maximum available
Option 2 will deactivate all sensors in the gateway, allowing
for a quick reboot of the system
Option 3 put 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. All you need to input is 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 model
number (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 at the following page for
configuring the wired BAS interface (e.g. BACnet, Modbus, LonWorks).

Option L – List Sensors and Latest Data
Menu option L displays the list of sensors configured to the gateway, including the sensor model and data from the latest packet
received.
Note - if the model number is not entered during manual configuration of the gateway, the model number of the sensor will
be blank. This does not impact the operation of the system in any way with regard to the BAS interface (e.g. BACnet, Modbus,
LonWorks).
