The Wireless Sensor Device Manager
Device Manager provides the user interface that enables you to set up, commission,
operate and maintain the sensor system. It allows you to change the gateway settings
and also
propagates the settings to all sensors in the network
(note: this cannot be done
from the gateway’s web page). After the sensors are set up, and their data collection
schedules are configured and stored in the Device Manager database, you will start the
batch service. The Device Manager batch service runs in the background using the
stored data collection schedules to collect measurements and save them to the
database. Both the UI and batch service are installed from a single installation
application.
WARNING! The minimum monitor resolution for Device Manager is 1600 x
900.
Device Manager does not permit scrolling and some vital functions will be
unavailable at lower resolution.
Device Manager exports the collected data to the Analyst database. The diagram below
shows the data flow from the CMWA 8800 all the way through to Analyst and other
applications.

The Device Manager License Key
Device Manager is shipped with a temporary license key that has a fixed expiration date.
The temporary license key and expiration date can be found on the “hot sheet” inside of
the Device Manager’s CD case. This temporary license is good for up to 50 sensors
only. When Device Manager is installed and a plant hierarchy item has been created
(prior to the expiration date), then the permanent license key should be requested from
SKF Customer Support Group (CSG) through the License Management dialog in Device
Manager.
