TABLE 8:
LED Indicator Meaning
When the Status button is pressed on the gateway, the LEDs briefly display the
network status. If the network is in Deployment mode when the button is
pressed, the Deployment mode timer will reset. If the network is not in
Deployment mode, it will enter Deployment mode on the following radio cycle.
This could take up to six minutes, as changes to the radio settings can only
occur when all the radios in the network are awake. In order to provide timely
feedback to the user, the network parameters are set to a 10-second radio
interval while the gateway is in Deployment mode.
When the Status button is pressed on a logger, the LEDs briefly display the radio
signal status. The logger will indicate the status of the radio signal after each
radio transmission for a period of 10 minutes. If a logger has not yet joined the
network, it will change its radio interval to approximately one second and search
for an available network.
