-
No. The A205 is an interface for communicating directly between a computer and a wireless sensor. It has no impact on the radio communication between the wireless sensor and the wireless sensor base, so line of sight doesn’t matter.
-
No. Use the CRBasic CWB100Routes() instruction in the datalogger program to collect information as to which sensors are repeaters.
-
No. The A205 is for communication with a single sensor only and cannot access any information related to the wireless sensor network. Use the CRBasic CWB100Diagnostics instruction in the datalogger program to collect information on the wireless sensor network performance.
-
No. Use the CRBasic CWB100RSSI() instruction in the datalogger program to measure and record wireless sensor signal strength.
-
An A205 is required to write the radio address of the wireless base station to the wireless sensor firmware so that the sensor will respond to polling from the base station. This is done using the Device Configuration Utility software. The A205 is also useful for connecting a computer directly to the CWS655, CWS220, or CWS900 for diagnosis, changing the base station radio address, uploading new firmware, and verifying sensor functionality. It is only necessary to purchase one A205—unless multiple users with multiple computers need to perform these tasks.

To incorporate a sensor that is compatible with wireless sensor interfaces into a wireless network, a CWS900-series wireless sensor interface is needed, as well as an A205 CWS-to-PC interface to configure it.
