108NetBotz Appliance User’s Guide
Commissioning your wireless sensor network
Each wireless network must have one and only one Coordinator, connected to a USB Type A port on the
NetBotz appliance. Routers are powered by an AC-USB adapter, not directly connected to the NetBotz
appliance. End Devices are powered by batteries.
For best results, power each wireless sensor as specified in the installation manual that came with the
device.
In NetBotz v4.5.x, there are two ways to configure your wireless sensor network:
• You can manually add or scan the extended addresses (MAC) of each wireless device.
• Once the Coordinator is connected to the NetBotz appliance, allow the devices to automatically
join and form the network using Auto Join.
Double-click the Wireless Sensor Setup icon to open the Wireless Sensor Setup window.
A message indicates whether Auto Join is running.
Another message may be displayed when the Coordinator is in the process of loading firmware update
files on the devices on your wireless network. See “Wireless sensor firmware update” on page 112.
