Determine the interval (minutes) at which the unit will send its noncritical data to iNet to support the
live-monitoring capabilities of iNet Now.
Connections are generally maintained, when no interference is present, by keeping the equipment items
within their range guidelines (see Table 2.2 below). Provided the required LENS Wireless connections are
maintained, the live-monitoring of equipment items accommodates worker, instrument, and RGX
movement.

Sample Deployment Plans
As illustrated below in simplified, two-dimensional sample deployment plans, LENS provides flexibility for
iNet Now live monitoring to occur when fully enabled, wirelessly connected instruments are located within a
concentrated area, spread out over a distance, or take on some other formation (see Figure 2.1.A through
Figure 2.1D). Figures 2.1.B and 2.1.D each feature one equipment item that is
not
within the range
required for a LENS Wireless connection, so its data are not reaching the RGX, iNet, or users of iNet Now
for live-monitoring purposes.
