joining the network, the green LED turns off and the blue
LED then blinks indefinitely while the mote is part of the
network.

If the mote cannot find the network or has trouble
remaining connected during this process, make sure the
mote is in a vertical, upright position and within range of

To remove a mote from the network:
a.
In HOBOlink, click Devices, then RX Devices, and find the
station with the mote you want to delete. Click the
arrow next to and select Module/Sensor
Configuration.
b.
Select the mote serial number or name from the
Configuration menu as shown in the following example.
c.
Click Delete to remove the mote from the network.
d.
If the mote you are deleting is currently active on the
network (i.e. powered up and transmitting data), the
station will need to connect to HOBOlink to complete
the removal process. Otherwise, the mote will not
officially leave the network and can attempt to
automatically rejoin the network in the future. To
connect to HOBOlink, press the Connect button on the
station. Once the station is connected, a command is
sent to the station and the mote permanently leaves the
network.
Important:
If you remove all motes from the network and are
using smart sensors only, power down the station and unplug
the manager to preserve battery power.
