are specified. As the network is being designed, Wireless Sensor Planner
automatically determines many individual device settings. After the model is
completed, device settings can be written to the devices using Wireless Sensor
Planner.

Network Planner version 1.1 or higher, available in LoggerNet 4.1 and higher,
can also be used to set up a wireless sensor network. See Section 4 “Setting up
Datalogger Networks” in the LoggerNet manual for more information on using
Network Planner. This manual will show only the use of Wireless Sensor
Planner to set up the wireless sensor network, but the steps shown will be
almost identical to those used with Network Planner.

3.2.2 Installing Wireless Sensor Planner

Run Setup from the CWB100 Configuration CD.

3.2.3 Using Wireless Sensor Planner

Launch Wireless Sensor Planner by double-clicking the Wireless Sensor
Planner shortcut on the Windows desktop. This will open a window that
includes a Device Palette, Drawing Canvas, Configure Devices list, and Station
Summary. These will be used to develop a model that includes a wireless base
station and one or more wireless sensors. After specifying the communication
links between the base station and the sensors, configuration settings will be
sent to components of the system.
