It may not be exported or transferred to any foreign person in the United States or abroad, except as authorized by the U.S. Department of State or the ITAR. Violators of these export laws are subject to severe civil and criminal penalties. 2 FCC Information Note: This equipment has been tested and found to comply with the limits for a Class A digital device, pursuant to Part 15 of the FCC. rules. These limits are designed to provide reasonable protection against harmful interference when the equipment is operated in a commercial environment. This equipment generates, uses, and can radiate radio frequency energy and, if not installed and used in accordance with the instruction manual, may cause harmful interference to radio communications. Operation of this equipment in a residential area is likely to cause harmful interference, in which case, the user will be required to correct the interference at his own expense. Caution: FCC approved RF operation of this equipment is permitted only with the approved antennas, cable and connectors provided with this product. FCC Notice: Changes or modifications to this device not expressly approved by the manufacturer could void the user’s authority to operate the equipment. FCC Radiation Exposure Statement This equipment complies with FCC radiation exposure limits for an uncontrolled environment. This equipment should be installed and operated with minimum distance of 20 cm between the antenna and all persons. 3 Table of Contents 1 INTRODUCTION...................................................................................................................................... 4 2 NETWORK ARCHITECTURE............................................................................................................... 4 3 SYSTEM COMPONENTS........................................................................................................................ 6 4 SYSTEM OPERATION ............................................................................................................................ 6 4.1 SENSOR START-UP PROCEDURE & DEPLOYMENT................................................................................ 6 4.2 MAESTRO GATEWAY START-UP AND DEPLOYMENT......................................................................... 10 4.3 OPERATOR TERMINAL....................................................................................................................... 11 4.4 COALESCING A WIRELESS SENSOR NETWORK.................................................................................. 12 4.5 REDEPLOYMENT OF SENSORS............................................................................................................ 13 4.6 RESETTING AND RE-COALESCING THE NETWORK. ............................................................................ 13 4.7 SHUTTING DOWN THE NETWORK...................................................................................................... 14 5 TROUBLE SHOOTING GUIDE ........................................................................................................... 14 4 1 Introduction The MicroObserver system is designed to provide a user with an easy-to-use, robust, scalable wireless network that detects intruding persons and vehicles. The system may be used in applications such as military reconnaissance missions, situational awareness scenarios, or for perimeter security similar to industrial plant security and border protection. The system consists of a remote gateway and multiple nodes which interface with a user- supplied, user-interface display. The nodes are deployed in the area where it is desired to monitor the presence of a person or vehicle. The gateway operates at a distance from the nodes, far enough away to be somewhat remote, but close enough to still communicate with them. Once deployed, the nodes and the gateway self-form a wireless network upon command. The nodes functions as sensors, monitoring detections and reporting their relative locations determined by means of Global Positioning System (GPS) to the user-interface display. 2 Network Architecture The MicroObserver System is a wireless three-tiered hub and spoke network consisting of sensors, hubs and remote gateways. The system hardware is homogenous, meaning any node can function as either a sensor, or a hub/sensor. There are no differences in either hardware or software of these nodes. Sensors are deployed in a pattern best suited to complete the mission objectives. The wireless connection is automatic and hubs are selected by the system based on their ability to communicate with all of the sensors in their area and the gateway. For larger areas, multiple hubs will be selected by the system. To enhance the energy management feature on the production system, hubs will rotate automatically within an area when the network is reformed. Figure 1 shows the basic system connectivity with the Gateway, Sensors and Hub/Sensors. 5 Figure 1 System Connectivity 6 3 System Components The MicroObserver system consists of two (2) primary pieces of hardware, the MicroObserver Sensor Node, MO-1045, and the Maestro Gateway, M-100. MicroObserver Sensor Nodes have two primary functions, to detect intruders and communicate with the network. The sensors employ seismic transducers to detect both dismounted personnel and vehicles (Vehicle Detection & Classification will be integrated in 2Q 2007). Seismic activity is measured and evaluated at the sensor with potential valid detections sent to the hub via a 2.4 GHz wireless connection which then relays the information wirelessly to the Maestro Gateway. The Maestro Gateway is the wireless communications bridge between the sensor field an…
