  Dana DunnAug 5, 2025
  If your Lord MicroStrain Network Hardware gateway or node isn't powering on, first ensure that power is being applied to the device; the status LED should illuminate. Check that the power source is correctly wired and providing the correct voltage, as using the wrong voltage can cause damage or malfunction. If the problem persists, it may indicate that the node is damaged, and you should contact LORD Sensing Technical Support.

  If you're experiencing communication issues with your Lord MicroStrain Network Hardware gateway or node, check the following: * Ensure both the node and gateway are powered on, with power switches activated. * Verify the node is within the gateway's range by performing a bench test in close proximity. * Confirm the node is in idle mode by using the 'Set to Idle' command in the software. * Check that the node is on the same channel as the base station; if not, use the software to move the node to the correct frequency.

  Sarah RobbinsAug 26, 2025
  If sensor data is missing from your Lord MicroStrain Network Hardware, consider the following: * Check if the node is in sampling mode by observing the 'node state' in the diagnostic data (it should be in RUN mode, not IDLE or SLEEP). * Ensure the node is within adequate signal range by monitoring the RSSI in the diagnostic data. * If using synchronized sampling, verify that the beacon is enabled on the WSDA gateway and that the node is within good communication range. * Check for a low battery flag in the diagnostic data, as low power can cause missing data.
