Deploy Your Sensors
Once all wiring is complete and the WiNG-MGR is communicating on your network, you are
ready to deploy your sensors. There are two different ways to configure sensors to
communicate with a WiNG-MGR:
2.5.1 Use the Sensor Discovery Wizard
The sensor discovery wizard is the recommended method to use when associating sensors with
a WiNG-MGR. It has a variety of benefits, including the ability to pick and choose which
specific sensors are added to a particular WiNG-MGR installation. Since sensor discovery
turns off automatically once the wizard is closed, using the wizard eliminates the possibility
that sensor discovery will accidentally be left on once you have finished adding sensors to this
install.
Complete instructions for using the sensor discovery wizard are found in section 3.1.3,
“Sensor Discovery Wizard” on page 25.
2.5.2 Manually Launch Sensor Auto Discovery
You can also add sensors to a system if you manually toggle on and off sensor auto discovery.
Sensor auto discovery differs from the sensor discovery wizard in a few ways. First and
foremost, you have to manually turn sensor auto discovery on and off. Under normal operating
conditions, sensor auto discovery should be turned OFF. If you do not turn sensor auto
discovery off, the WiNG-MGR will continue to attempt to locate new sensors - this can
contaminate your list of active sensors with sensors that do not actually exist. If you choose to
use sensor auto discovery, it is on by default when a WiNG-MGR ships from the factory.
Make sure you toggle it off when you are done and click the Save Changes button to effect the
change.
Sensor auto discovery does not allow you to choose which sensors are added to your system. It
will automatically add all sensors transmitting within the WiNG-MGR’s range. This can be an
inconvenience if you have multiple WiNG-MGRs operating in the same environment. If you
use sensor auto discovery, you run the risk of displaying the same sensors on multiple
managers.
Complete instructions for using the Sensor Auto Discovery are found in section 3.8.3,
2.6.
Set Notification Parameters For Your Sensors
WiNG sensors can be configured to trigger alarm and warning messages when their reading
surpass set notification thresholds. Alarm and warning parameters can be set per individual
sensor or across all sensors at once.
