2 Enter the IP/Hostname of the sensor or communication server and the Port number

through which Collector will communicate. Ranges can be used to add more than one

sensor at the same time (see Figure 4.3).

Figure 4.3 – Add Sensor Info Fields

Depending on the sensor and communication setup, a multi-drop ID or a unit address

may be required. e Multi-drop ID eld will not be displayed if it is not necessary for

the selected driver. In other cases, the Multi-drop ID eld will be visible and relabeled

with a new name to correspond to the particular address or eld name used by the

device for user clarity.

e Custom ID eld is optional and can be used to enter any additional identication

information.

3 Enter the initial collection interval (in seconds) into the Collection Interval eld. For

sensor drivers that support automatic querying of the sensor interval, the Use Sensor

Interval option will be displayed. Check this box to use the sensor interval as the col-

lection interval.

4 Select the time zone that the sensor resides in from the Time Zone drop-down list and

mark whether the sensor location observes daylight savings time. is will allow Col-

lector to adjust sensor time to local time for proper timekeeping and data storage (see

Figure 4.4).

e Start Collecting Data Immediately option determines whether data collection is

started or stopped for the new sensor once it is added. If the communication pathway

to the sensor is open, data collection can begin immediately; if the Start Collecting

Data Immediately option is checked, Collector will attempt to retrieve the sensor’s

conguration aer it is added to the system. However, if the sensor is not connected

and congured properly, it is recommended that this option be turned o. If the op-

tion is not turned o, Collector will continue to attempt to connect and will simply log

errors aer every collection interval.

e Attach to Multi-drop Server (if available) option is used when multiple sensors

share a common IP address and port. is option will only be available if the selected
