10 Overview of
Network Devices
Wireless sensor modules in the Smart-Vue monitoring systems transmit data
to the server computer running Smart-Vue Server via receivers, whose range
may sometimes be extended by the use of one or more repeaters.
The diagram below shows how these elements fit together in a typical
layout:
Figure 28. Sample network overview
There are several types of receivers:
• USB receiver: plugged directly into a USB port on the server computer.
The USB receiver is not covered in this document, but is described in
detail in the Installation guide for Smart-Vue Server/Smart-Vue Client® 2.2
and USB Wireless Receiver document provided with your solution.
• TCP/IP receivers: installed anywhere on an Ethernet network, enabling
groups of remote sensors to communicate with a server beyond wireless
range.
• Standalone repeater: a wireless range extending device that bridges the
gap between a module and a receiver that are beyond wireless range. A
repeater is transparent with respect to the data being transmitted.
Each of these devices is described in the following chapters of this section.
