Answer:


Provision a Primary Receiver Node (PRN) using Raspberry Pi and a USB Connection

  1. Plug PRN into USB port on Raspberry Pi
  2. Open Terminal program
  3. Input ls -al /dev/serial/by-id
    1. Note:  the tty phrase associated with the PRN
      1. Example:  USB-Parker_Hannifin_900MHz_PRN_c352B9542745427-if00 is associated with ttyACM0
  4. Open terminal emulator such as PuTTY, Tera Term, etc.
  5. Select Serial button
  6. Input 115200 in the speed field
  7. Input dev/ttyACM0 in the serial line field (using example in 3.a.i)
  8. Press Enter or Click Open
  9. Input JR (this command erases the table of sensors on the PRN)
    1. Note:  the PRN will restart and close the terminal emulator
  10. Input J1 (this command enables joining mode)
  11. Look for desired sensor’s ID to display within terminal emulator
  12. Input J0 (this command disables joining mode)
  13. Input LA? (this command displays the sensors that are currently joined)
  14. Close terminal emulator
  15. Unplug PRN from USB port on Raspberry Pi
