1.2 Before you begin
Prerequisites
Before deploying your Honeywell wireless system, a radio frequency (RF) site survey must be
completed. Honeywell services can perform a comprehensive site survey for you.
FCC requirements
After initial set up and configuration of wireless components, you will be ready to install them. We
assume you have available qualified personnel to install wireless devices.
Important
FCC Regulations require that industrial wireless devices be professionally installed by an
installer certified by the National Association of Radio and Telecommunications Engineers or
equivalent institution.
Assumptions
Honeywell assumes the following about the installation and maintenances of your wireless network.
• You are familiar with good security networking practices, and are prepared to implement them for
all wireless devices.
• You understand the critical nature of the Key Server and the Authentication Device and will take
additional precautions for protecting their integrity.
•You are prepared to carry out ongoing monitoring and diagnostics for optimal network management.

2.1. About the Honeywell Wireless System
Wireless software and devices
Following is a brief description of the wireless software and devices of the Honeywell Wireless System.
Component Description
Wireless Key Server
Acts as the center of trust for the network by generating, issuing and
managing security keys. All devices on the wireless network must be
authenticated to join the secured network.
Used for initial configuration of wireless devices and to store wireless
network system data for configuring wireless devices. Associated software:
Key Server Manager, Wireless Builder, Directory Server, Security Server,
Network Tools Server, OPC Server.

Wireless
Authentication
Device
A mesh network node that serves as a gateway between the wireless
network and the wired network. Associated software: 3eTi configuration
software.
A mesh network node that facilitates communications between the wireless
devices and the wireless subsystem gateway. It may also be used to
facilitate communication among the different nodes on the Wireless network.
The network of iNodes and WSGs form the mesh network. Associated software: 3eTi configuration software.
The wireless field devices such as the wireless temperature transmitter,
pressure transmitter and temperature transmitter devices.
Client node used for communication with server nodes.
Associated software: OPC DA/AE, Modbus Serial, Modbus TCP
Client node used to communicate with the Wireless Server & Configuration
Node for network maintenance and troubleshooting.
A personal digital assistant (PDA) handheld with IR capability and Honeywell
authentication software. It receives security keys from the Key Server and
then transmits a security key to each wireless device. Without a valid security
key the wireless device cannot be authenticated and will not be allowed to
join the network.
