Answer»
- With NI-WSN software, which is included with the NI WSN gateways (or downloaded here), you can easily CONFIGURE your network in the MEASUREMENT & Automation Explorer (MAX) utility. MAX provides an intuitive user INTERFACE to add and remove measurement nodes and configure wireless settings. To set up your NI WSN, add your gateway under Remote Systems in MAX and assign measurement nodes to a gateway by entering the node serial NUMBER. Upon power-up or reset, the nodes automatically reconnect to the assigned gateway.
- You can also use MAX to view all of the nodes in your WSN and their last communication time, battery status, and link quality. In ADDITION, MAX provides an interface to set the ZigBee communication channel, configure the Gateway IP address, wirelessly update firmware on the measurement nodes, and configure a node to act as an end device or mesh router.
- If you are using the NI 9792 Programmable WSN Gateway, these operations can also be performed from a web browser.
