If isolated from the rest of the network, a node will continue to sample and store
data. When communication is reestablished, it will "catch up" by sending all of
the collected data to the supervisor.

2.3 STATUS BUTTON FUNCTIONALITY

All GeoNet devices have red and green LED indicators to display their status. A
reference key is printed on the side of each unit, below the LEDs. When pressed,
the Status button triggers the appropriate LED indicators to briefly illuminate.
Table 3 shows the meaning of the various LED indications.
Note: When used in a sensemetrics network, see Section 7 for the meaning of
the LED indications.

TABLE 3: LED Indicator Meaning

When the Status button is pressed on the supervisor the current status of the
network will be displayed briefly by the LEDs. If the network is in Deployment
mode when the button is pressed, the Deployment mode timer will reset. If the
network is not in Deployment mode, it will enter Deployment mode on the
following radio cycle. This could take up to six minutes, as changes to the radio
settings can only occur when all the radios in the network are awake. In order to
provide timely feedback to the user, the network parameters are set to a 10-
second radio interval while the supervisor is in Deployment mode.
When the Status button is pressed on a node, the current status of the radio
signal will be displayed briefly by the LEDs. The node will then indicate the
status of the radio signal after each radio transmission for a period of 10-
minutes. If the node has not yet joined the network, it will change its radio
interval to approximately one second and search for an available network.
Remember: Pressing and holding the Status button for 10 seconds on a
Supervisor or Node will trigger a reset of the unit.
