Preparing a Commissioning Gateway
The commissioning gateway always uses the SKF factory default network settings. The
commissioning gateway and sensors being commissioned should be located away from
the production network’s signal range (both will temporarily have the same Network ID
and Join Key when the new sensors are switched to the production network settings).
Use the commissioning gateway to accomplish the following tasks:
•
Configure new sensors
from the factory to join the production network.
(Refer to
Chapter 9, System Maintenance,
Adding a New Sensor into Service
•
Modify the Long Tag of a sensor to monitor a different machine. (Refer to
Chapter
9, System Maintenance,
.)
•
Configure a new sensor to replace a sensor in the production network. (Refer to
Chapter 9, System Maintenance,
Replacing an Existing Sensor in Service
.)
