Configuring and Associating a Wireless Sensor Node to a BAS Gateway 

A wireless sensor node must first be configured and associated to a particular gateway (access point) before data will be received 
by that gateway. This is a simple procedure that only takes a few seconds per sensor node. The items that are configured are Net-
work ID and Sensor ID, and these items are automatically assigned by the gateway.

Wireless Gatway - Interface Ports and 

Status LEDs

Wireless Gateway - Power Connector

Welcome Screen

When the USB driver has been properly installed and HyperTerminal is properly configured, the message “Press any key to 
show menu…” will display in the HyperTerminal window.

Note: If you see information from wireless packets appearing on the screen and want to see the main menu, type SHIFT+P to 
cancel “print mode.”
