Network Installation; Prepare The Supervisor And Nodes; Install The Antennas On All Devices; Remove The Covers From All Devices - Geokon GeoNet 8900 Series Instruction Manual

3.

NETWORK INSTALLATION

recommends that you configure your network with the devices at the
GEOKON
same location, in close proximity to each other, before you deploy them to their
respective on-site positions.
An installation tutorial on the
tutorial-videos, can help with this.
Skipping or omitting steps, or performing them out of order, could
complicate the installation of your network.
A network must include the Supervisor and at least one Node that is within radio
range of the Supervisor. The necessary steps are as follows:
1. Configure the Network
■

Prepare the Supervisor and Nodes

■
Configure the Supervisor
■
Activate the network
2. Deploy the network
■
Mounting the devices
■
Connect the Nodes to the sensors.
■
Link the Cellular Gateway to the Cloud (if used)
CONFIGURE THE NETWORK
3.1 PREPARE THE SUPERVISOR AND NODES

3.1.1 INSTALL THE ANTENNAS ON ALL DEVICES

Remove the rubber cap from the antenna mount. Position the antenna on the
mount and then rotate the antenna in a clockwise direction until tightened.
Repeat this for each device.
Note: Not applicable to the cellular gateway antennas.

3.1.2 REMOVE THE COVERS FROM ALL DEVICES

Remove the cover by unscrewing the four captive screws on the front of the
enclosure. Ensure that no dirt, water, or other contaminants are allowed to enter
the enclosure.
Repeat this for each device.

3.1.3 CONFIGURE THE CHANNEL ON ALL DEVICES

configures all devices to use Channel 1; if no other networks operate in
GEOKON
the area, then no specific network configuration is needed and you can skip to
Section 3.2.
If multiple networks are within radio range of each other, then each network (up
to a limit of 12) must be configured to use a different channel. Devices of each
network must be set to their respective channel.
