D2.1 Overview of the Tools

n

Configurator

This tool is included in the Field Wireless Management Console that is built into the YFGW410. It

is used for constructing the field wireless network.
It creates the configuration information for the wireless network configuration that is managed by

the YFGW410 based on the detailed design information of the wireless network. It also creates

configuration data based on the provisioning information of the field wireless device, which con-

tain information such as the devices to be integrated into the network, the roles of those devices,

the function settings for the data renewal cycles, etc., data allocations for the Modbus registers,

and other information.
These pieces of information are downloaded to the YFGW410 and the field wireless device.
Configurator is launched from the Field Wireless Management Console on the YFGW410 via an

instance of Internet Explorer on a PC that is connected to maintenance interface or field network

interface.

n

Monitor

This tool is included with the Field Wireless Management Console that is built into the YFGW410.

It is used for monitoring the running status of Field Wireless System constructed .
Monitor displays the Packet Error Rate (PER), the Received Signal Strength Indicator (RSSI),

and the field wireless network configuration figures for each wireless communication path, as

well as displaying information about the field wireless device such as the battery life.
It is used for determining the communication stability when the Field Wireless System is started

and for monitoring daily status during operation.
Monitor is launched from the Field Wireless Management Console on the YFGW410 via an

instance of Internet Explorer on a PC that is connected to maintenance interface or field network

interface.
