In the drop-down area next to Connect [F5] select the COM PORT that shows the “GATEWAYCTRL” device with the green check mark (figure 1).9. Click Connect [F5] and the DolphinView software will now be able to access the WSCOM USB tool. •Any 315MHz EnOcean telegram transmitted will appear in the Telegram Log at the bottom of screen.10. Use an unpowered switch (WSS0S) or similar transmitter to verify EnOcean telegrams are being received and the WSCOM tool is working properly.DEVICE STATUS LED’S: • RedpowerLED:Deviceisbeingpowerfromhost.• AmberreceiveLED:Devicereceivedawirelesstelegram.• GreentransmitLED:Devicetransmittedawirelesstelegram(Transmit is not available with DolphinView Basic).PRODUCT USAGE:With software and the device plugged into a PC the LevNet RF computer link (WSCOM) can be used in the following ways:• AsacommunicationgatewaybetweenEnOceanenableddevices.• FormonitoringandloggingasitehavingEnOceanenableddevices.• Fortestingneworpre-existinginstalls.• Asarepeater.COMMUNICATION GATEWAY USAGE:Utilizing a third party software package and the WSCOM tool opens the door to wireless control of all devices within range of the centrally controlled Gateway PC. In this environment the WSCOM tool and accompanying software can simulate all transmitting devices within range and then can be learned into all receiving devices. This situation allows for the Gateway PC, if desired, to monitor and handle all of the lighting controls.MONITORING AND LOGGING:The WSCOM tool can be connected to a PC in an office and that PC can be utilized to monitor the lighting within a small office. This is most useful in conjunction with wireless occupancy sensors to determinearoom’soccupancyoverthecourseofaday,week,ormonth.Itcanalsobeusedtodetermineifsensorsarefalsetripping(turningonwhentheyshouldn’t)inordertoadjusttheirsensitivity.TESTING NEW OR PRE-EXISTING INSTALLS:Perhaps the best usage for the WSCOM device is enabled by using the DolphinView Basic software to perform a site survey:• Checkingsignalstrength(dBmlevelandsub-telegrams)ofpacketstransmitted.• Verifyingifdevicesaretransmitting(occupancysensors)withpropersignalstrength.TheWSCOMshouldbelocatedclosetothereceivingdevice.• Validatinganinstallisworkingproperlybyloggingaroomsdataoverseveraldays.ENABLING REPEATER:The repeater function is useful for sites where devices are installed within a reasonable range of one another (<100ft) but encounter RF/EMI or other wireless interference which degrades the transmission ofsignals.Thosesiteswithpoorsignalquality(refertoDevicePerformancesectionbelow)betweentransmitterandreceivercanusetheWSCOMdevicetodeterminebestlocationofrepeater.ThiswouldrequireenablingoneWSCOMdeviceasarepeaterandusinganotherdevicetomonitorthereceivedsignalnearthetransmitter.EnablingtherepeateroftheWSCOMdevicerequiresusageoftheDolphinViewAdvancedorothersoftwaretoolwithaccesstotheTelegramTransmitfunction.WhenusingwithDolphinViewAdvancedopenup the “Telegram Transmit” tab (use drop-down menu under the EnOcean logo if not seen).• Clickthe“+AddOperation”tab.• Fromthedrop-downmenuselect“SendSerial:ESP3Packet”• Level1Repeater:Type05,Data:09,01,01• Level2Repeater:Type05,Data:09,01,02• Clickonthe“Executedselected”toenabletherepeaterofadevice.• Todisabletherepeater:Type05,Data:09,00,00A repeater will show up on the receive side as an increase in Sub-telegrams transmitted and also as bit changes in the last four bits of the Status Byte. A Level 1 Repeater only repeats the original transmitted message. A Level 2 Repeater can re-transmit a repeated message.ENABLING SUB-TELEGRAMS:By default Sub-telegrams are enabled on the WSCOM unit when using DolphinView Basic software. When using DolphinView Advanced this feature can be enabled/disabled by accessing the Telegram Transmit function. To do this select Add operation from the drop-down menu and select Sending serial ESP3 packet. To enable sub-telegrams: Type 05, Data: 10, 01, Execute selected. To disable sub-telegrams: Type 05, Data: 10, 00, Execute selected.The only benefit to disabling sub-telegrams is to reduce the reception of a transmitted message in the case there are many transmissions taking place and some messages are being missed. DOLPHINVIEW TELEGRAM LOG:In the DolphinView Basic tool, locate the Telegram Log at the bottom of the page. This log provides telegram packet arrival time, ID of device, RORG (type of device), Data transmitted, Status Byte (repeated info), Signal Strength (dBm), Sub-telegrams, and time difference between last transmission of the same telegram received.An EnOcean enabled Occupancy Sensor will broadcast a message similar to what is shown in Figure 2. The Occupancy Senor will be a 4BS type package (RORG), an unpowered switch will have an RPS type package, and a window/door sensor will have a 1BS type package. Each of these devices will haveauniqueID(1of4billion).ThequalityofthesignalcanbedeterminedbythedBmlevelandsub-telegrams. Typically the PTM240C module used in an occupancy sensor will have a best case dBm of -42dBm and 3 sub-telegrams. As the dBm goes lower (more negative) and the sub-telegrams decrease thesignalqualitygoesdown.DI-001-WSCOM-00A-X2 Figure 1.

If problems are encountered the latest (2.08.14 or newer) Virtual COM Port Drivers (VCP) from FTDI can be installed. Visit www.ftdichip.com/Drivers/VCP.htmformoredetailsalongwithinstallationguides.Arebootafterinstallationmayberequired.RefertoFTDIAN_104 for Windows® XP installations.Driver Not Installed: IfthedriverdoesnotgetinstalledproperlyandthedeviceisnolongerdetectedwhenpluggingintothePCthiswillrequireaccessingtheDeviceManager.Under“Otherdevices”lookforFT232R USB UART or Serial USB, right click and select “Update Driver Software…” If the PC is connected to the internet this should find the proper driver and continue. If automatic updating is disabled on the PC then you may have to go into Windows® Update, Change settings and confirm that “Allow all users to install updates on this computer” is checked. If this still fails then the drive can be uninstalled. The next time the device is plugged in make sure, if using Windows® 7, that Windows® is allowed to automatically download a driver. This allows Windows® to search the internet and install the correct driver. If this fails then the best case is to go to the FTDI chip website and download the latest VCP driver as noted above. A manual search for the driver should allow the install to complete properly.Marginal-Poor Signal Quality: Reposition the transmitter so the antenna is aligned with the receiving device (ensuring also that the antenna is securely fastened). When re-position of the transmitter or receiverisnotpossiblethenrepeatersmayberequired.Improving Performance: Metal around or near the antenna will cause signal degradation. Keep these guidelines in mind to increase device operational performance:•Devices should not be installed near metal or behind metal faceplates.•Avoid installing sensors on metal ceilings.• Leviton occupancy sensors should be rotated so that the Leviton logo points towards the receiver.• Relays and wall box switches installed in a metal single or dual gang electrical switch boxes need to have their antenna outside of the metal enclosure. Other factors restricting transmission range:•False ceilings with panels of metal or carbon fiber.• Lead glass or glass with metal coating, steel furniture.•Hollow lightweight walls filled with insulating wool on metal foil.•ThedistancebetweenEnOceanreceiversandothertransmittingdevicessuchascomputers,audioandvideoequipmentthatalsoemithigh-frequencysignalsshouldbeatleast3ft.THIRD PARTY SOFTWARE:Any third party software which supports the EnOcean Serial Protocol V3 (ESP3) can be used.
