NetBotz Wireless Temperature Sensor Installation Guide
5
Components of the Wireless Sensor Network
Wireless Sensor Network. A ZigBee wireless network consisting of a host
appliance, one Coordinator, and one or more devices in Router or End Device
mode.
Host Appliance. A wireless sensor network is monitored by a single NetBotz
appliance, listed in “Supported appliances” on page 2. The appliance collects
data from the wireless sensor network, and generates alerts based on sensor
thresholds.
The host appliance supports a total of 26 or 48 wireless devices on the network,
listed in “Supported devices on the NetBotz wireless network” on page 2.
Coordinator. Each NetBotz host appliance and wireless sensor network must
have one and only one Coordinator. The Coordinator is connected directly to
the host appliance via USB. It reports data from the sensors on the network, and
its internal sensors and any attached external sensors (NBSP0180 only), and
provides firmware updates to the wireless network, when available.
Router. A wireless sensor configured as a Router extends the range of the
wireless sensor network and passes information back and forth from the
NetBotz device to the End Devices.
A wireless sensor network can contain multiple Routers; one Router for every
three racks is recommended.
End Device. An End Device monitors its internal sensors, and any attached
sensors, and sends data back to the monitoring appliance through the network.
The Wireless Temperature Sensor is automatically configured as an End
Device.
