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 to enter configuration mode. The Sentinel/Scout 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).
