Overview
Once you receive the FDAP and the associated hardware and physically inspected them
for any damaged components. You must perform an initial configuration of the unit. This
must be performed before the installation of FDAP in the network at its designated
physical location. In addition, the FDAP must be given a security key to associate it with
the wireless network in which it is installed and operated. Once the unit is set up and the
authentication is completed, the FDAP joins the network and starts communicating.
FDAP require little configuration. All configuration parameters are easily accessible
from the WDM which centralizes all key functions required to manage the field
instrument network and wireless field devices. You can configure the FDAP by using
OneWireless application (WDM UI). For more information about the WDM UI, refer to
OneWireless Wireless Device Manager User's Guide.
5.2
Provisioning a FDAP
You can send provisioning information (security, wireless) from Provisioning Handheld
to the FDAP using IR communication link or using over the air provisioning (ISA100).
Before you provision a FDAP, ensure that you have completed the provisioning of WDM
and Provisioning Handheld. For more information about the provisioning of WDM and
Provisioning Handheld, refer to OneWireless Wireless Device Manager User's Guide.
Power on the FDAP and connect FDAP to the WDM through LAN1 port of WDM.
TIP
If you are using multiple FDAPs, you can use an Ethernet switch to connect
the FDAPs to the WDM.
For information about the procedure to provision a FDAP, refer to OneWireless Wireless
Device Manager User's Guide.
