Gateway USB Communication
Drivers for the USB gateways are included the SensorConnect software installation. With the
software installed, the USB gateway will be detected automatically whenever the gateway is plugged
in.
1. Power is applied to the gateway through the USB connection. Verify the gateway status
indicator is illuminated, showing the gateway is connected and powered on.
2. Open the SensorConnect software.
3. The gateway should appear in the Controller window automatically with a communication
port assignment. If the gateway is not automatically discovered, verify the port is active on the
host computer, and then remove and re-insert the USB connector.

automatic node discovery feature, manually entering the node address, and scanning transmission
frequency and node address ranges.

For all LORD Sensing 200 Series nodes, a node discovery is triggered by turning on the node. A
discovery packet is sent from the node to all channels and will appear in SensorConnect. The node
address and frequency are indicated in the documentation included with the node when it is
purchased.
