Smart Wireless Power Module Life Estimator
Once the update rate required for the instrumentation has been determined, it's
recommended to realistically evaluate the impact of these update rates. The Smart
Wireless Power Module Estimator provides estimates for Power Module life by a
combination of wireless device type, update rate, and environmental variables. This tool will
provide valuable information for maintenance expectations by estimating how often Power
Modules will need to be replaced.

AMS Configurator or Device Manager
Device configuration may be needed after initial network commissioning. The Smart
Wireless Navigator contains a Wireless Configuration application. Depending on
which version purchased, Navigator will contain an integrated AMS Wireless
Configurator or will connect to an existing AMS Device Manager. A username and password is
required to access these tools. This will be different from the Navigator username and password.
Locate the product manual in the Navigator or program Help menu for guidance on product
functionality and additional features.

Gateway interface
Once a Gateway has been added, the Gateway Interface can be accessed for planning
and commissioning functions, such as checking/changing Network ID and Join Key,
enabling Active Advertising, verifying a device has joined the network, etc. The
Gateway Interface can be opened from a Gateway level display field through the design
sub-menu. (This level of page can be identified by locating the Gateway Identification bar,
page 16
.) A username and password will be required to access the Gateway Interface. These
credentials are different from the Navigator username and password. Locate the product
manual (Doc no. 00809-0200-4420) in the Navigator Help menu for guidance on product
functionality and additional features.
