iMETOS Maintenance & troubleshooting 10
• Reset the RF SD board: by power up push the button and hold the button at least 2 seconds. The LED diode
will be ashing for 2 seconds. All conguration and link settings of the wireless system will be erased in RF
SD board.
Notes:
• If there was executed reset on AP board, there is no possible to communicate anymore. The solution is
doing the device pairing again with all RF sensor devices.
• If there was executed reset only on SD board (not on AP board), there is possible to re-pair RF SD again.
10.2 Connection Recovery During Running
• If the connection between RF AP and RF SD is lost for any reason:
◊ RF AP is automatically searching the RF SD for 24 hours
◊ RF SD is automatically searching the WSN for 24 hours
• If the connection of RF AP is being lost for more than 24 hours:
◊ Activate the WSN searching the lost RF SDs for next 24 hours by pressing the button of RF AP.
• If the connection of RF SD is being lost for more than 24 hours:
◊ Activate the WSN searching for next 1 hour by pressing the external button of RF SD.
10.3 Connection Recovery After Power On
If the WSN was established (RF AP and RF SDs have been paired). When the RF AP or RF SD board are pow-
ered o, all their conguration and link settings are kept and restored when power on again. There is not
necessary to do the device pairing again.
• The RF AP searches the paired RF SD boards for 24 hours automatically (Right after the start-up initializa-
tion of RF AP from iMetos station. This initialization process can take the time of a few minutes).
• The RF SD searches the WSN (the RF AP) for 1 hour automatically (After power on).
10.4 Terminal menu info about AP board
On the Terminal window press the following buttons to get the following information.
‘2’, —› ‘W’, “WIRELESS SYSTEM” —›
‘I’, “INFORMATION ABOUT WIRELESS”
‘S’, “SETUP AP BOARD”
‘T’, “SPY WIRELESS SYSTEM”
‘B’, “BRIDGE OF SYSTEM”
• ‘I’ – Prints info about the AP board and radio nodes (if there is any radio node connected to it).
• ‘S’ – Sets timestamp and serial number in the AP board (this may be used after resetting the AP board, but
usually after a station reset it does this automatically).
• ‘T’ – Keeps printing what the AP board is doing. Each 5 minutes it should print some activity, and if there
are radio nodes connected prints also what the radio nodes are sending to the AP board (because in this
