6.1 Portal Commissioning
6.1.1 Introduction
Every Response Sensor node has the capability to connect to IoT gateways automatically and starts reporting to the Response Portal . There is a manual process of adding nodes and mapping them on floor plans, this process is called Response Portal commissioning.
A commissioning process consists of,
Creating a new building in the Response Portal
Adding/assigning gateways to the Response Portal
Adding Floorplans/Electrical Layouts as images
Adding nodes on the floor plan
Mapping each node to register their addresses in their installed locations.
6.1.2 Setting up Building in Response Portal
The OR team is responsible for creating a Response Portal building upon request from our partners. We recommend contacting your luminaire manufacturer to get your project created. We provide admin rights to provided email addresses at the time of building creation, which can provide access to more users in a building. An example image below showing a user with access to 4 buildings,
6.1.3 Adding Gateways to the Response Portal
When you select any building by default you land on the analytics page of the building as shown below,
Since a fresh building is blank you can start by adding gateways to the building.
Navigate to blue highlighted Administration menu as shown on the right
Switch to the “Gateways“.
Start adding gateways by giving it a name/description (a good practice would be to name/number it based upon floor plan location)
Now add gateway serial number usually found on the box or on the label of the gateway
Now click on PLUS button to save it.
6.1.4 Adding Floorplans to the Response Portal
Once you have added gateways you can start adding floors while in Administration menu
Switch to the “Floors“.
Add a name & Description
Hover mouse over this blank space to start uploading your floorplan as an image
Click on “Add Floor“
In addition to above some optional administration options that could be useful may include, if these are not required, please skip next 3 steps.
Switching to “Users” tab and start inviting other people to this Response Portal building as admin or other roles.
When in “Roles” tab you can customize a role and control the access levels for existing or new users.
Section “Tenant Groups” will allow you to create different tenants within a single building.
6.1.5 Adding Response Sensor nodes:
Once you have added floor plans, you can start populating nodes in the floor plan by following simple steps shown and explained below,
Go to the Response Sensor node page
Hover you mouse in floorplan area and you will see a tooltip has appeared click on “Add nodes” as highlighted.
Your mouse will start carrying a black Response Sensor node as you move it around on floor plan. Click anywhere on plan image to start placing Response Sensor node s.
Once added one or all nodes, click save.
Use “Undo” to clear the previously added node in sequence.
Or “Discard” tab in case you want to clear all changes you made since last save.
6.1.6 Mapping
6.1.6.1 Mapping A Response Sensor node
To prepare for mapping arrange to take with you a smart device (tablet/phone/laptop) that can
be easily carried while you go to each node to map it
open up the Response Portal in a browser and you can view Response Sensor node page easily
has 3.5 mm audio jack that can have a charged dongle inserted to it.
The mapping process associates the installed Response Sensor node s’ address with the node you added above.
Insert IR dongle in audio jack of smart device
Open the portal and go to sensor node page of relevant floor you wish to map nodes on.
Click anywhere on floor plan if using touch screen when you see tooltip appear press on ‘Map Node’ to select one of the two options
‘map Response Sensor node’ icon or
‘Map Response Radio’ icon.
Click on required node in Response Portal and point dongle towards the Response Sensor node that you need to map on the floor plan. The red dome of the node should flash 3 to 5 times to indicate a mapping attempt is being made.
Upon successful mapping the Response Sensor node icon would turn white and would indicate when mouse is hovered over it that it is “mapped”.
Some examples of mapped nodes with different number of attached devices (drivers & inverters)
6.1.6.2 Mapping a Passive Device
While passive device can be mapped using manual or automated mapping process, however, we would only cover automated process for this guide. If you wish to map nodes manually please click here for detailed version.
In order to get passive devices automatically mapped you will require the passive device to have been configured for a pub-sub group (click here to see how). The configuration of pub-sub group makes the mapping of passive devices quite simple.
As soon as you map a Response sensor node that is a publisher all passive devices (2 square white icons) in its pub-sub group will also be mapped automatically. Passive devices mapped this way will automatically show linked as blue dotted lines next to a mapped Response Sensor node s in random order.
Emergency luminaires get automatically detected upon mapping because of emergency gear attached to them and reporting the status. Emergency luminaire may initially be mapped as standard luminaire first before it is detected as emergency gear due to the query process
