Configuration and identification
At the factory exit, all Sphensor line devices use a default configuration: they communicate on the same
radio network (
Channel
= 17,
PanId
= 0xDEFA,
Key
= 0x751751.
NetworkId
= 0xDEFA0170) and the sensors
transmit the measurement data to Sphensor Gateway every 3 minutes. Typically, in basic installations, where
the system consists of a single Sphensor Gateway and some sensors, the default configurations are suitable
for the proper functioning of the system. In more complex installations, consisting of multiple Sphensor Ga-
teways and different sensors and repeaters, it is necessary to change the configurations.
Sphensor Manager
is the software for configuring Sphensor equipment and verifying data reception.
Before proceeding to the modification of the configurations it is desirable to have in mind already how to
realize the network of sensors Sphensor. To facilitate the implementation and to increase the reliability of
the connections it is recommended to subdivide the network into sub-networks (

shows an example), where each sub-network has the following characteristics:
➢
A Sphensor Gateway
➢
Sensors located near the Sphensor Gateway
➢
Auxiliary repeaters or sensors, if any, with repetition function
➢
Same radio network for Sphensor Gateway, sensors and any repeaters and/or sensors with repetition
function
Once the configuration of each individual apparatus has been completed, it is recommended to identify it so
that it can be easily found. For this purpose it is supplied with a writable cable tie-cord.
You can, however, identify a sensor or repeater via software, via the

3.1
Installing the Sphensor Manager software
The Sphensor Manager software is located on the
MW6501 USB flash drive - LSI LASTEM products.
Alterna-
tively it can be downloaded from the website
. Run the Setup program for installation.
To start the program, from the Windows Start menu choose LSI-Lastem, then
SphensorManager
.
3.2
Sensor configuration
The sensors are configured via the Sphensor Manager software, accessing the sensor via Sphensor Gateway.
Proceed as follows:
1.
Start Sphensor Manager.
2.
Turn on Sphensor Gateway and wait for the program to recognize it (in the example are shown the
information related to the recognized Sphensor Gateway).
