Wireless software and devices
Following is a brief description of the wireless software and devices of the Honeywell Wireless System.
Component Description
Wireless Key Server Acts as the center of trust for the network by generating, issuing and
managing security keys. All devices on the wireless network must be
authenticated to join the secured network.
Used for initial configuration of wireless devices and to store wireless
network system data for configuring wireless devices. Associated software:
Key Server Manager, Wireless Builder, Directory Server, Security Server,
Network Tools Server, OPC Server.
Wireless system
gateway node
(WSG)
A mesh network node that serves as a gateway between the wireless
network and the wired network. Associated software: 3eTi configuration
software.
Infrastructure node
(iNode) A mesh network node that facilitates communications between the wireless
devices and the wireless subsystem gateway. It may also be used to
facilitate communication among the different nodes on the Wireless network.
The network of iNodes and WSGs form the mesh network. Associated
software: 3eTi configuration software.
Wireless field
devices The wireless field devices such as the wireless temperature transmitter,
pressure transmitter and temperature transmitter devices.

9.1 Key Server quick reference
The following table describes the parameters for each of the Key Server’s functional areas. Values for
parameters in bold are supplied by the system and do not need to be entered by the user.
Authentication Device – Configure AD tab
Network Parameters:
Default
WFN_ID Default wireless field network identification. You may edit this parameter when you
initially deploy the system. Used to support multiple wireless networks within the
same physical area. The WFN_ID is only a logical entity and will not be associated
with or loaded to any of the real equipment.
For example: Devices on WFN ID 1 will be on one wireless network, while devices
on WFN ID 2 will be on a second wireless network. This is similar to an SSID for an
802.11g network.
Freq
Hopping ID Default value is zero. This parameter is not used in this release.
Defines the frequency hopping pattern for the nodes in the wireless network:

10. Troubleshooting
10.1 Resolving software startup problems
Cannot login to Wireless Builder
Cause 1: If all the services are not started, Wireless Builder cannot access its database.
Solution: Start the WNSIA services
• Click Start > Control Panel > Administrative Tools > Services.
• Click the Name column to sort the services and locate the WNSIA services.
• Verify all the following are started: cda server, erserver, gcl, , Raptor
DirectoryServer, SysRep, WNSIA Key Server.
10.2 Resolving authentication errors
Wireless device cannot join the network
Cause 1: Wireless device has not yet been authenticated.
Solution: Re-inject device with new security key.
Cause 2: Key Server can no longer recognize the device’s security key or the device lost its
security key.
Solution: Reset a device, a gateway, or an interface node to its default values. This clears the
radio configuration and removes the current security key.
• Align the authentication device with the device’s IR port.
• On the authentication device, select Advanced options.
• Select Restart to defaults.
• Re-inject device with new security key.
Cause 3: Wireless device is authenticated, but is not yet active in the wireless tools (Wireless
Builder, Data Collection Tool).
Solution: Allow at least 10 minutes for the device to be visible in the Wireless Tools.
