Wireless Network

A Network Antenna receives data over the Wireless
Network and relays it through the ISG-2400 Gateway to a
computer workstation for use by Soil Manager.
ISS uses wireless mesh network technology to route data
between system components. Mesh networking extends
wireless range by transmitting data from repeater to repeater
(ISR-2400 to ISR-2400) until the data reaches the ISG-2400
Gateway router. Reliability is increased by the ability of the
network to "self-heal"; if the connection between any two
nodes (ISR-2400) is lost, an alternate path is created to restore
the network provided other wireless Repeaters are within
range. The use of Direct Sequence Spread Spectrum (DSSS)
radios reduces risks of wireless interference and ensures
reliable communication.

ISG-2400 Gateway

Wireless Gateway Router

The Wireless ISG-2400 Gateway router provides the interface
between the wireless mesh network and the Central Control
Software. The Gateway communicates with the network of
ISDL-2400 Data Loggers and ISR-2400 Repeaters through a
roof-mounted radio antenna and routes data to and from the
Soil Manager software on the central workstation via a USB
cable.

Network Antenna

A radio antenna mounted on a rooftop (or a location that
provides adequate reception) is utilized to provide wireless
network communication to the ISG-2400. The antenna and
the Wireless Gateway are physically connected using a coaxial
cable.

Soil Manager Software
NOTE: Soil Manager software is not included with the
ISS hardware and must be purchased separately.
Soil Manager is the software application installed at the central
workstation (standard PC or laptop) that provides monitoring
and control of the ISS. Soil Manager displays soil data from
every individual sensor in the system and recommends water
budgets based on soil conditions. The Soil Manager interfaces
with irrigation software (Cirrus family) to adjust station run
times based on soil conditions.
