Add   all   routers   and   RF-­‐IOMs   to   the   map   display   by   drag-­‐and-­‐drop.   Note   that   if   a   device   is   shown   in   
blue   in   the   hierarchical   display,   it   has   NOT   been   added   to   the   map   display.   This   is   a   quick   way   to   
see   which   have   yet   to   be   added   to   the   map   display.   Ensure   all   are   shown   as   on-­‐line.   Note   that   the   
radio   network   links   are   displayed   on   the   map   display.   Ensure   all   links   are   depicted   in   green   (good   
link   quality)   and   note   the   LQIs   (see   page   41).   

a.

 

If   any   routers   or   RF-­‐IOMs   don’t   show   as   on-­‐line   or   are   not   in   the   “Router”   or   “RF-­‐IOMs”   
categories    in    the    hierarchical    display,    check    that    the    PCB    fuse    is    intact    (0Ω    on    a   
multimeter)   and   that   the   correct   power   supply   is   present.   

b.

 

If   any   router’s   or   RF-­‐IOM’s   link   is   shown   in   red,   check   for   obstructions   between   it   and   its   
parent,   check   to   see   that   the   aerial   is   fitted   and   is   vertical.   

23.

 

Using    CMS,    take    the    receiver    out    of    auto-­‐commissioning    mode.

    NB

    -­‐    this    is    very    important,    as   

trying   to   change   configuration   properties   while   in   auto-­‐commissioning   mode   may   cause   network   
errors.   

24.

 

In    the    hierarchical    display,    right-­‐click    on    each    router    and    RF-­‐IOM    and    select    “Refresh    Node   
Information”    from    the    menu.    This    will    cause    the    router    or    RF-­‐IOM    to    transmit    not    only    its   
measurements,    but    also    all    its    configuration    data    as    well.   

NB

    -­‐    This    extra    data    is    NOT    normally   

transmitted,   but   must   be   requested   using   CMS.   Where   hours   run   is   shown   in   

italics

,   this   denotes   

that   a   request   for   data   has   been   sent   to   a   device,   but   the   device   has   not   yet   responded.   

25.

 

Using   CMS,   place   the   receiver   in   auto-­‐commissioning   mode.   

26.

 

Referencing   the   site   survey   plans,   switch   on   all   the   EDs   by   fitting   the   power   jumper   and   remount   
into   the   housing   (for   space   housing   devices).   

a.

 

If    this    is    the    first    time    the    ED    has    been    switched    on    (or    after    replacing    an    EDs    battery),   
hold    down    the    reset    button    on    the    ED’s    PCB    while    powering    up    by    fitting    the    power   
jumper.   This   resets   the   battery   hours   runtime   to   0.   

27.

 

Using   CMS,   ensure   that   all   the   EDs   appear   in   the   hierarchical   display.   

a.

 

Note   that   initially,   the   EDs   will   be   shown   in   the    “Unknown”   category   in   the   hierarchical   
display.   This   is   normal.   

b.

 

Ensure    that    each    ED    moves    to    the    “Sensor”    category    in    the    hierarchical    display.   
Depending   on   the   number   of   devices   on   the   network,   this   may   take   several   minutes.   

28.

 

When   all   EDs   have   joined   the   network   -­‐   

even   if   still   shown   in   the   “Unknown”   category

   -­‐   use   CMS   to   

disable    auto-­‐commissioning    mode.   

NB

    -­‐    this    is    very    important,    as    trying    to    change    configuration   

properties   while   in   auto-­‐commissioning   mode   may   cause   network   errors.   

29.

 

Add    all    EDs    to    the    map    display    by    drag-­‐and-­‐drop.    Note    that    if    a    device    is    shown    in    blue    in    the   
hierarchical   display,   it   has   NOT   been   added   to   the   map   display.   This   is   a   quick   way   to   see   which   
have    yet    to    be    added    to    the    map    display.    Ensure    all    are    shown    as    on-­‐line.    Note    that    the    radio   
network   links   are   displayed   on   the   map   display.   Ensure   all   links   are   depicted   in   green   and   note   the   
LQIs.   

a.

 

If    any    EDs    don’t    show    as    on-­‐line    or    are    not    in    the    “Sensor”    category    in    the    hierarchical   
display,   check   that   the   correct   battery   is   fitted,   observing   polarity.   

b.

 

If   any   EDs   link   is   shown   in   red,   check   for   obstructions   between   it   and   its   parent,   check   to   
see    that    the    aerial    is    fitted    and    is    vertical    (for    plant    housing    EDs)    or    that    the    housing    is   
mounted   correctly   (for   space   housing   EDs).   

30.

 

In   the   hierarchical   display,   right-­‐click   on   each   ED   and   select   “Refresh   Node   Information”   from   the   
menu.   This   will   cause   the   ED   to   transmit   not   only   its   measurements,   but   also   its   configuration   data   
as    well.   

NB

    -­‐    This    extra    data    is    NOT    normally    transmitted,    but    must    be    requested    using    CMS.   

Where   hours   run   and   battery   level   are   shown   in   

italics

,   this   denotes   that   a   request   for   data   has   

been   sent   to   a   device,   but   the   device   has   not   yet   responded.   

31.

 

When   the   installed   network   is   finally   formed,   briefly   press   the   receiver   reset   button   and   ensure   the   
network   reforms   properly.   This   may   take   several   minutes,   depending   on   the   number   of   network   
devices.   

32.

 

When    the    network    topology    has    been    verified    and    all    devices    are    working    correctly,    user   
configuration   can   begin   (see   pages   33   -­‐   37).   

33.

 

When   configuration   is   complete,   save   the   map   display   layout   (see   page   45).   

34.

 

Generate   a   report   of   the   completed   network   to   document   it   for   future   reference   (see   page   46).
