D4. Starting up the Field Wireless
System
This chapter describes how to start up the Field Wireless System and check the communications
quality.
The Monitor from the Field Wireless Management Console, which is contained in the YFGW410,
shows the communications quality. For instructions on how to start up the application, see Sub-
section D2.2.2 Launching the tool.
D4.1 Procedure for System Start-up
After following the connection instructions in part C, start up the Field Wireless System in the fol-
lowing sequence.
1
Host system
2 YFGW410
3 Field Wireless Access Point YFGW510
4 Field wireless device (devices with routing function)
5 Field wireless device (devices with only IO function)
For 4 and 5 , start devices physically closer to YFGW510 first.
Power on YFGW410, and wait approximately 1 minute after the RDY LED has lighted up green,
then start the Monitor of the Field Wireless Management Console. The Monitor will show the
status of wireless communications.
IMPORTANT
When enabling F1-F3 ports of YFGW410, power on the connected devices before starting
YFGW410. A link down state for F1-F3 ports is handled as an error.
In redundant configuration, enabled F1-F3 ports shall be a link up state.
Next, turn on YFGW510 and use the Monitor to confirm connection (Full Join) to the network.
Instructions on how to check this with the Monitor are described below.
Next, start up the field wireless devices that have routing function (Router or IO+Router setting),
from a number of small hops. The method of starting up the devices depends on the status of the
devices. If the device is in deep sleep mode, remove the battery once and plug it back in again. If
the device is in radio silence mode, it will automatically start up and start connecting to the target
network within an hour. If it fails to connect within the specified time frame, it will attempt connec-
tion every hour. For detailed instructions on start up, refer to the user’s manual of each device .
Using the Monitor, check that all field wireless devices that have routing function have connected
(Full Join) to the network. Instructions on how to check this with the Monitor are described below.
Finally, start up field wireless devices with IO functions only, starting with devices that are physi-
cally closer to YFGW510.
