Add Wireless Device

Add new wireless or LAN devices in the menu "Tools" > "Setup" > "Devices". If you want to add wireless devices, you first need to set up a gateway in the system.

 

Add Gateway

Step 1

Add LAN device

E-SM-RMS-WEB-V1.3.1_add lan device

 

Step 2

Enter the serial number of the gateway

Step 3

Press the button on the device for clear identification

Step 4

Setting of:

oDevice name

oChannel: 5 channels can be operated in parallel

oNetwork ID: Gateways only receive data from wireless data loggers with the same network ID. In this way wireless data loggers can be linked to gateways1. Permissible network IDs: 1…254.

oWhen adding a new gateway, RF Net-ID and Channel will be suggested:

The next unused Net-ID

The next unused channel or the least used one

oGroup

2 The dialog must be confirmed within 2 minutes because otherwise the device will switch back to standby.

3 It must be ensured that the wireless address is unique for the frequency of the gateway in order to prevent collisions.

4 For example: interval 30 seconds, highest device address is 30.

       

When all devices have been added, add the measured value labels to the measuring points in the menu "Tools" > "Setup" > "Layout".
