8. On the M-GAGE: Verify the center LED is flashing green approximately once a second.
•
Flashing green approximately once a second: The M-GAGE is bound to its DXM and is operating correctly.
•
Flashing red once every three seconds: Move the M-GAGE farther away from the DXM Controller and perform the
binding process again.
Before installing your M-GAGE, perform a Site Survey to verify radio communications.
Conduct a Site Survey Between the M-GAGE and DXM Controller
After the M-GAGE Node is bound to the DXM Controller, verify radio operations before installing the M-GAGE by conducting a Site
Survey.
Place the M-GAGE Node at the application's desired location. Align the antenna (wire antenna inside the Node's epoxy housing) to
face the DXM Controller's desired location.
1. On the DXM: Use the arrow buttons to select the
ISM Radio
menu and press
ENTER
.
2. Select the
Site Survey
menu and press
ENTER
.
3. Use the Up or Down arrows to select the device ID number and press
ENTER
to run the site survey with that radio.
The site survey results display as green (strong radio signal), yellow (moderate signal), red (low signal), and missed (no
signal) packets. Missed packets were not received.
4. When you are finished running the Site Survey, press
Back
twice to return to the main menu and exit site survey mode.
The desired outcome is to maximize the green signals and minimize the missed signals. Having more than 10 missed signals will
decrease the M-GAGE's battery performance and should be corrected prior to final deployment. If all signals are missed, rerun the
binding process and site survey.
