Definitions of Gateway Terminology
Self-Healing – As part of the Mesh technology the system is able to adapt automatically if one part of the system is
damaged, i.e. Radio Contact is lost with part of the Backbone. Only regular Transmitters directly reliant on the faulty part
of the system will be affected with the rest of the Transmitters simply finding alternative routes for the data.
Task – The name given to the collection of logging parameters for a specific monitoring job. Tasking is the action of
entering these parameters into RF500 and sending them to the Transmitter.
TextMagic™ – Internet SMS provider (www.textmagic.com). Warning emails sent from the Gateway can be converted to
SMS messages using this service. Other service providers may also work but only TextMagic has been tested.
Transmitter – A transmitter is a device connected wirelessly to the system. This device records data locally from a
number of sensors and sends the information back to the Gateway using RF. A transmitter is powered via battery or AC
adaptor.
