Remote Node Configuration
The SignalFire Gateway allows configuration changes to be made to any of the
connected SignalFire remote nodes wirelessly. To use this feature, access to the
Gateway debug port is required. This may be accessed over a TCP/IP network using a
SignalFire Ethernet Gateway module, or by a direct connection to the Gateway RS232
port.
To start a remote configuration session with a remote node, select the check-box next to the node to
configure.
If the device has a non-sleeping radio the remote configuration session will be ready
immediately. If it is a sleeping device, you must wait for the node to either check-in or send a
“beacon” so that it can be commanded into configuration mode. The Sentinel nodes send a
beacon every two and a half minutes, while all other sleeping nodes send a beacon every five
and a half minutes. When the device has entered a remote configuration session you will see a
message indicating the device is ready. Click
Configure
to open the configuration window (image on
next page).
