SENSEMETRICS MANAGEMENT PLATFORM

GeoNet wireless nodes are compatible with the sensemetrics sensor
management platform. This combination of plug and play technologies greatly
expands the ways data can be remotely collected and displayed in near real-time
on a user-friendly, browser-based data platform. The figure below shows a
network configuration pairing GeoNet wireless devices with sensemetrics'
sensor management platform. A GeoNet supervisor is not necessary in this
configuration.

6.1 CHANNEL CONFIGURATION

To communicate with sensemetrics threads, the channel select DIP switch
must be set as shown below. For more information on channel configuration,
see Section 3.1.

6.2 STATUS BUTTON

When you press the Status button, nodes indicate their connection status with
the network by briefly illuminating the LED indicators located above the Status
button. A red flash means the node has not yet discovered and joined the
network. A green flash means the node has joined the network and is operating.
A node with a green flash will be present in the portal. With an always on
thread, nodes should join and be present in the portal within a couple of
minutes, provided they are within radio range.
A node with a red flash may be out of radio range of the sensemetrics gateway
(thread), or the thread may be in low power mode. When adding a node to
network, threads should be in always on mode for the fastest deployment.
Threads may be switched back to the desired mode once all the devices are
accounted for. Use the Modify Thread Connection dialog in the portal to change
the thread mode.
