MAC Address: an alpha- numeric identifier embedded in the network card of the WSDA - 2000
hardware. A MAC (Media Access Control) Address is a unique identifier assigned to all Ethernet
devices to manage communications on the network. The MAC address is assigned when the
gateway is manufactured.

assigned when the gateway is manufactured.
OS Version: a numeric identifier used to identify the WSDA-2000 OS (Operating System) Version.
The OS is the on-board software that operates the WSDA-2000. All gateways are shipped with the
current OS version. As new features are added, OS updates are available from LORD Sensing
Technical Support ( see Technical Support on page 78 ) and installed by the user through the Tools
> OS Upgrade menu ( see Operating System (OS) Upgrade on page 42 ).
Flash Card Utilization: the amount of memory currently consumed by data in the gateway internal
memory, and the total memory capacity. Data received from sensor nodes is stored here. When
capacity is reached, the flash card will begin overwriting data on a first-in, first-out basis (older data
is overwritten first).
Connection Type: the type of Ethernet connection the gateway is currently configured for - DHCP
or Static IP. This option and other settings can be changed in the Tools > Configuration menu ( see
Configuration on page 36

is normally updated from internet time servers every 12 hours. For a more detailed discussion of the
system and real time clocks see Time Options on page 39 .
Synchronization Status: the WSDA-2000 is considered to be Synchronized if it has successfully
synchronized to one of its enabled time sources since it was booted, and before any periodic
synchronization has expired. Otherwise is considered to be Not Synchronized. For a more detailed
discussion of the system and real time clocks see Time Options on page 39 .
Last Synchronized Time: the most recent time when the gateway was synchronized to a time
source
Last Synchronized Source: the source from which the most recent time synchronization occurred
