5. Adding a Wireless Device to the Gateway DO NOT INSERT BATTERIES UNTIL SENSOR HAS BEEN REGISTERED. In order for the Serial MODBUS Gateway to activate the wireless network, you will need to register at least one wireless device. Each Monnit device has a 32-bit serial identifier (SID). - Page 8 When registering your first device, the gateway will need time to form its first network, which takes 30 seconds. During this time, the middle LED will go red signifying there is no wired communication available, then the third LED will start flashing while the wireless network forms.
