Mesh Enabled Architecture Geo-Location Reference Guide
Overview
The Mesh Sensor Monitor (MSM) application provides an interface that allows a user/operator to send or receive data from a remote wireless sensor node within a Mesh Enabled Architecture (MEA™) network. Sensor devices can be connected to the MEA wireless device via an RS-232 or an RS-485 interface. Mesh Sensor Monitor is designed as a debug tool for sensor network development, sensor/network integration, or third party development of sensor management applications. A Mesh Sensor API is available for third party development of custom sensor management applications.
Although MSM is used as the means for communicating directly with remote sensor devices, the MeshManager™ suite of Element Management software applications must be used to configure the serial interface on the MEA hardware (MWR6300/WSM6300). Configurable parameters include baud rate, packetization parameters (time interval, sync character, number of characters), GPIO configuration (input/output) and server IP address (the IP address of the host executing the MSM application).
Supported Operating Systems
Microsoft Windows 2000
Microsoft Windows XP
System Requirements
Motorola Device Manager version 9.x.x or higher
Mobile Wireless Router (MWR6300) / Mesh Sensor Monitor (MSM6300)

After reading the License Agreement, select the YES radio button and click on the Next button to continue. When the Ready to Install dialog is displayed, confirm the default Install and Shortcut folders and click on the Next button to proceed with the installation.
Figure 3. Ready to Install Dialog
If you have previously installed the Mesh Sensor Monitor application, the Notice dialog will be displayed. Click on the Yes button to confirm you wish to overwrite the existing MSM.mdb file.

For both initial installation and reinstallation of the Mesh Sensor Monitor application, the
Performing Setup Actions dialog will be displayed.
Figure 5. Performing Setup Actions Dialog
When all installation actions have been completed, the MeshSensor Systems Installed Successfully dialog will be displayed. Click on the Finish button to dismiss the dialog and
complete the installation.

Mesh Enabled Architecture Geo-Location Reference Guide Operation
All functional operations for the MSM are performed using the Mesh Sensor Monitor Graphical User Interface (GUI).
Mesh Sensor Monitor Main Window
The Mesh Sensor Monitor (MSM) main window is shown in Figure 7.. This is the display
configuration presented at application startup. This configuration presents four sub-windows, which are described in detail in the following sections.

Figure 7. Mesh Sensor Monitor GUI
Sensor ID Window
The Sensor ID Window displayed on the Sensors tab shows a list of all sensors that have been
discovered. Only active sensors are available to the user for communication. Active sensors are designated by a blinking green indicator displayed to the left of the corresponding MAC address. Devices can be sorted or identified by MAC address, IP address, name, or activity. To manage the device display attributes, right click on the device ID.
By default, any new sensor will initially be filed in the Unconfigured Sensors folder until
additional configuration parameters are applied.
