4. Using the USB Gateway Application
Do not select Start Service in the Gateway Application until you’ve updated your driver in the previous step!
To open your gateway application, either double-click on the Wireless Sensor Gateway icon
that was automatically created on your desktop after installation or, select the program from the
Windows “Start Menu,” (
All Programs > Wireless Sensor Gateway
).
Once the gateway application is open, select “Start Service”. You will see the status change from
“Unknown” to “Active” and your system information will populate in the underlying fields.
When you click-on “Actions”, the following dropdown menu becomes visible.
• Stop Service:
this action will deactivate your gateway.
• Download New Sensors:
select this anytime after you add new sensors in the online system.
• Reform Network:
assures system is operating on the most optimal RF frequency.
• Reset Default Configurations:
resets the gateway to manufacturer defaults. This will only work if the
gateway is connecting with the system.
• Message Viewer:
if there is an issue with your hardware, an error message will most likely show here.
Otherwise, this window will be blank.

It is important to note that in order for data to be received from the sensor the computer must be powered
on. However, if a computer enters power-saving/sleep mode due to inactivity, data will still be received.
