Methods of Configuration

The ProtoAir offers two methods of configuration:
•
Auto-Discovery: Supported RS-485 devices can be automatically detected and identified for
addition to the ProtoAir's configuration via the ProtoAir's Web Configurator. (Section 6.3)
•
Web Configurator: Devices that cannot be identified by Auto-Discovery must be configured to the
gateway by selecting profiles on the ProtoAir's Web Configurator. The Web Configurator shows all
the stored profiles/devices on the ProtoAir. It will also show all the devices that were previously
discovered or selected. To configure, select a device and enter the Station Address. Once all
required device profiles are saved, the ProtoAir automatically builds and downloads the
configuration for the desired protocol. (Section 6.4)
