Recovering Sensors
If a sensor’s network address or administrator password is forgotten, the sensor can be discovered
on the network and/or restored to factory defaults by using a special software tool called the Sensor
Discovery tool. This software tool can be downloaded from the downloads area of LMI’s website at
www.lmi3D.com:
After downloading the tool package [14405-x.x.x.x_software_go2_tools.zip], upzip the file and run the
Sensor Discovery Tool [bin>win32>kDiscovery.exe]:
Any sensors that are discovered on the network will be displayed in the Devices List.
To change the network address of a sensor:
1 Select the sensor serial number in the Devices List.
2
Select the Custom Option.
3 Enter the new network address information.
4
Press the Set Address Button
To restore a sensor to factory defaults:
1
Select the sensor serial number in the Devices List
2 Press the Factory Restore... Button.
3
Confirm when prompted.
The Sensor Discovery tool uses UDP broadcast messages to reach sensors on different subnets. This enables
the Sensor Discovery tool to locate and reconfigure sensors even when the sensor IP address or subnet
configuration is unknown.
