Overview
Unless the CSI 9420 is purchased pre-configured from the factory, you must connect it to a wired HART interface. This is to define device credentials that allow the device to communicate on your wireless network. You can also define other device configurations such as sensor type and alert thresholds at this time.
Note:
- Use the wired HART interface only for configuration. Dynamic variables (such as measured vibration parameters) are not updated when communicating on the wired interface.
- The CSI 9420 does not
communicate simultaneously on both the wired and wireless HART interfaces. You
will lose wireless connectivity when you connect to the wired HART interface.
Configuration changes are not reflected in a wireless host until connection has
been re-established. To avoid loss of synchronization, disconnect hosts relying
on the wireless link when communicating with the device on the wired interface.
For example, if you are viewing a configuration screen in AMS Device Manager through a wireless link, and you leave this screen open while making changes with a Field Communicator, you will have to exit AMS Device Manager and then re-open it (or re-scan the device) after the wireless connection has been restored in order to see the changes.
