Level 3 Level 3 Searches for wireless stations and displays
wireless receiver and station configuration. Please note that
the search operation can take a minute or so to complete. This
tool is useful for identifying a wireless device if its ID is
unknown. The ID is needed to use the ISDEMO Wireless
Configuration Tool. Wireless receivers are listed with their
respective port numbers and channel settings plus a field that
indicates the type of control (active or manual).
MicroTrax receivers have active control, which means channel
settings and station pairings can be changed using the
Wireless Configuration Tool. Previous-generation receivers
have manual control via a mechanical channel switch.
Wireless stations that were detected during the search are
listed with their respective IDs and channel settings.
If the station is paired with a receiver, its port and slot number
is also shown. The search operation can only detect stations
that are powered on and in range. Since the search operation
scans through all available channels, be aware that it may
temporarily interfere with other InterSense trackers if they are
in range. Any stations reporting the ID 65535 indicate a
communication failure between the radio and the device
connected to it (such as between the head tracker and lapel
transmitter, or the wand and its internal radio board).
Self test reports generated here can be saved to the disk using the Save to a File option in

([e-mail]
