6.sensemetrics Management Platform
GeoNet wireless nodes are compatible with the sensemetrics sensor management platform. This combination of plug and play technologies greatly expands the ways data can be remotely collected and displayed in near real-time on a user-friendly, browser-based data platform. The figure below shows a network configuration pairing GeoNet wireless devices with sensemetrics' sensor management platform. A GeoNet supervisor is not necessary in this configuration.

When you press the Status button, nodes indicate their connection status with the network by briefly illuminating the LED indicators located above the Status button. A red flash means the node has not yet discovered and joined the network. A green flash means the node has joined the network and is operating. A node with a green flash will be present in the portal. With an always on thread, nodes should join and be present in the portal within a couple of minutes, provided they are within radio range.
A node with a red flash may be out of radio range of the sensemetrics gateway (thread), or the thread may be in low power mode. When adding a node to network, threads should be in always on mode for the fastest deployment. Threads may be switched back to the desired mode once all the devices are accounted for. Use the Modify Thread Connection dialog in the portal to change the thread mode.
