Importing Sensors into Device Manager
After Device Manager is connected to the gateway, the list of sensors that are
connected to the gateway need to be imported into Device Manager. Refer to the
Wireless Sensor Device Manager 8800 User Manual
for details.
WARNING!
First, make sure the batch
service is stopped!
The sensors must be turned on and
appear green in the
Com. Stat.
column of the gateway’s
Operating
Modes
web page. This is the list of
sensors that will be imported into
Device Manager.
Right click the
gateway
in the Device
Manager hierarchy.
Select the
Find sensors
option.
The sensors stored in the gateway are
uploaded to the Device Manager’s
database.
Once imported
, the sensors will
display under the gateway item.
The first time the hierarchy structure is built, the Device Manager
software also uploads the current configuration data from all
wireless sensors branching from the gateway. This may take
several minutes (even tens of minutes) to complete, depending on
the number of sensors.
