3.7 DEPLOYMENT MODE

There are two modes of operation: Deployment mode and Normal mode.
Put the Supervisor into Deployment mode before making any changes, such as
resetting the Supervisor, resetting Nodes, or adding Nodes. This will ensure that
all Nodes will be able to join the network.
■
To start Deployment mode, press and release the Status button on the
Supervisor.
■
To reset the system, press and hold the Status button for 10 seconds.
CAUTION! DO NOT reset the Supervisor unless it is in
Deployment mode.
For information on the function of the Status button, see Section 3.8.
The Supervisor enters Deployment mode upon power up, pressing the Status
button, or system reset.
Deployment mode allows Nodes to be added to a network and verified quickly.
When the network is in Deployment mode, the network status will be indicated by
the LEDs on the Supervisor approximately every 10-15 seconds.
In Deployment mode, the Supervisor and Node units will find each other in less
than three minutes, radio circumstances permitting. Once the network has been
established and the network time has been set, the Supervisor's green LED will
flash simultaneously with the green LEDs on the Nodes. If the network time has
not been set, the Supervisor's red LED will blink in unison with the Nodes. The
time must then be set using the Agent software.
IMPORTANT: Deployment mode will cease automatically after one hour, at
which time Normal mode will being.
If the correct lights do not illuminate, or if the network has exited Deployment
mode, press the Status button on the Supervisor to restart Deployment mode.

3.7.1 ADDING NODES

While in Deployment mode, Nodes may be added simply by turning them on
within radio range. When adding Nodes, start with those closest to the
Supervisor. Place the Supervisor in the center of the distribution of
Nodes if possible (see Figure 27 below); doing so will reduce the number of
hops, which will reduce battery consumption.
