What happens to my wireless sensor network if the PC being used as the application host goes into sleep mode or is powered off for some reason?
If the MonnitLink™ Wireless Gateway is unable to receive transmissions from the sensors due to the PC being off, or the gateway not being installed, the sensors will continue to try and link with the gateway (one time by default). If it is unable to link to the gateway it will disassociate itself from the gateway and enter “link mode” where it will try to find a gateway nearby. If no gateway is found, the sensor enters “power save” mode, and will sleep for two hours before entering link mode again, and scanning all available channels for a gateway. This process will continue until the sensors find a gateway to communicate with. Note: While the gateway is off, no data is being collected and no notifications can be transmitted.
