If you installed the correct drivers, you only have to insert the USB port in your computer: The manager will power up and start creating a network automatically.
Similar to the mote via the interface board, you should now see 4 new serial ports, where the third and fourth give you access to the CLI and API, respectively.
Factory Default Values
By default the manager is shipped with a well-known network ID and join key that your application will need to connect to its network, so you do not need to configure anything. However, it is useful to know about certain commands available through the CLI. These commands are presented in the next section, while relevant default values for its configuration parameters are listed in Table 4.
Useful CLI Commands
With the manager connected to your computer via USB:
- Just like with the mote, identify the correct serial port name and connect to the CLI with a serial terminal of your choice (again, see Table 1 for configuration details).
Unlike the mote, you will first have to login to have access to the commands we want:
- You now have access to a wide range of commands, where the most interesting ones are shown below.
sm: Displays information about the motes in the network. The manager itself will always be the first one listed (with MoteID 1)
