2 OVERVIEW
2.1 Introduction
The Vertiv™ Wireless Sensor Network (WSN) uses a gateway and sensor nodes that use a direct sensor to gateway
communication path for environmental monitoring. Each application is different in that the final installed system
performance is dependent on a number of factors that are not within Vertiv's control.
The sensor nodes contain multiple on-board or connected sensors allowing for multiple data points to be communicated
wirelessly back to the gateway to be aggregated and displayed. Selected data is communicated out of the gateway to
connected systems using wired means. The system can be controlled or monitored with system or user configuration values.
This solution offers a join process where advanced sensor nodes can be easily and securely added to the gateway using
auto-discovery—programming cables are not required. After sensor nodes have been added securely, the network can be
locked down to prevent unknown devices from entering the network. The gateway can support connectivity and
communication with up to 300 sensor nodes on a fully populated system.
For enhanced environmental sensing capabilities, WSN-FLEX sensor nodes provide
• Temperature and humidity control
• Dual programmable digital/analog IO
• An accelerometer
• A Piezo buzzer
The sensor nodes can be powered using three methods with automatic failover between all power methods to increase up
time and availability, prioritized in the following order:
1. Standard local micro-USB power source
2. External battery pack
3. Internal batteries
When sensors are joined to the gateway, communication begins automatically and data is made available via SNMP
protocol and to an API to externally connected clients.
