ABOUT THE ALTA SITE SURVEY TOOL

GENERAL DESCRIPTION
The ALTA® Site Survey Tool helps you plan the placement of ALTA Wireless Sensors by measuring the strength and quality of the radio frequency (RF) signal from an ALTA Gateway. With the Site Survey Tool in hand, you can assess every square foot of your facility or site for the ideal locations to install your sensors. After a quick signal test, the tool’s LCD reports the average TRUESIGNAL ™ and Pass, Poor, or Fail based on your preferred signal reliability setting. The TRUESIGNAL is calculated from the wireless signal strength and the amount of wireless interference measured at the test location. This data will help you optimize data communications throughout your Internet of Things (loT} network.
The iMonnit dashboards also present the data points related to your testing. You can configure the tool’s customizable test settings and review an advanced reading log online at iMonnit.com. Choose your signal reliability
settings-Mission-Critical, Strong, or Functional-according to your environment, use case, and how frequently and reliably your sensors need to send data. (See signal reliability settings explanations below.)

UNDERSTANDING YOUR DATA

HISTORICAL DATA AVAILABLE IN iMONNIT

  • On activation of the Site Survey Tool, or when the FIND Gateway button is pressed, the tool will start searching for the nearest authorized gateway. After connecting to a gateway, the Gateway ID will scroll across the screen and iMonnit will record this event in the data history.
  • On completion of a Signal Test, the device displays Pass, Poor, or Fail, and then displays the Average TRUESIGNAL percentage. Additionally, in iMonnit, the same results are recorded in the data history.MONNIT-ALTA-Site-Survey-Tool-7

If the tool is configured in iMonnit to Show Advanced Data, then additional data points become available for viewing:

  • Average Signal Margin (in decibels)
  • Signal Quality presents the number of packets sent and received.

How many packets and results are averaged per Signal Test depends on configurations. See the iMonnit Settings View for more information.

WHAT IS TRUESIGNALTM?
TRUESIGNAL is a simple scale created by Monnit to express the amount of usable signal at a test location, as calculated from the measured wireless signal strength and background interference. The result is expressed in percent and is directly correlated to your selected Reliability Setting, with Pass corresponding to the percentages in green, Poor to the percentages in yellow, and Fail to the percentagesin red for the various reliability settings depicted below.MONNIT-ALTA-Site-Survey-Tool-8

USING THE SITE SURVEY TOOL

ADD THE DEVICE TO iMONNIT
In the Networks screen, click the Add Device to Network button and follow the instructions to add devices to your account. When prompted to choose how you will use your sensor, select the desired Reliability Settings for auto configuration. The options are Mission-Critical, Strong (default), and Functional reliability.

More information on these settings can be found in the iMonnit Settings View section (page 6).

INSTALLING/REPLACING BATTERIES
The tool is powered by two replaceable AAA-sized batteries (preinstalled at the time of purchase). The typical battery life is rated for 200 hours of activity. To replace batteries in the device, start by removing the four screws, then remove the battery door. Next, insert fresh AAA batteries in the carriage. Then, replace the battery door and screws.MONNIT-ALTA-Site-Survey-
Tool-10

Important: The battery door must be correctly re-installed to ensure the device remains waterproof.
Complete the process by opening up iMonnit and selecting Sensors from the main navigation menu. Next, verify that iMonnit shows the Site Survey Tool has a full-battery level.
NOTE: When the Site Survey Tool is low on battery, the battery symbol will be displayed on the Screen.
WARNING: ONLY install new alkaline batteries from the same manufacturer.

Button Functions

MONNIT-ALTA-Site-Survey-Tool-11

Any button press overrides what the device is doing. All readings are stored in iMonnit.

USING YOUR ALTA SITE SURVEY TOOL:
Press and hold the Find Gateway button for three seconds to power the device:

  • The LCD will flash and the device starts searching for the nearest authorized gateway.
  • After connecting, the Gateway ID scrolls across the screen twice.
  • The screen will show rdy, indicating the tool is waiting for the next button press.

If the Gatew ID on the LCD is not the gateway you want to connect to:

  • Move closer to the desired gateway.
  • Confirm the gateway is on the same network in your account.
  • Press the Utility button on your gateway to confirm the gateway has downloaded the latest wireless sensor list.
  • Press the Find Gateway button to start searching for the nearest authorized gateway.

After connecting, the Gateway ID scrolls across the screen twice. The screen will show rdy, indicating the tool is waiting for the next button press.
NOTE: If your ALTA Gateway setting On Aware Messages is set to Wait for the Heartbeat, you need to switch or toggle the setting to Trigger Heartbeat. This will ensure the Site Survey Tool can send the data immediately to iMonnit through the gateway.
Press the Signal Test button to begin scanning the RF environment and measure the TRUESIGNAL”.

  • The screen starts flashing the TRUESIGNAL measured.
    • The result will be a number if the scan was successful
    • The result will be a dash “-” if the scan wasn’t successful
  • When the test is complete, the device displays Pass, Poor, or Fail, and then displays the average TRUESIGNAL percentage.
  • These results will show twice before the screen displays rdy.
  • The device is now ready for the next signal test.

All data is logged by the tool until the data is successfully delivered to the gateway.

WHAT TO DO WHEN EXPERIENCING A HIGH NUMBER OF TESTING FAILURES:
While surveying your area, there can be times when the tool will experience poor signal quality even when the TRUESIGNAL is considered passing. This can be caused by deliberate or random noise sources. In this situation, please do the following.

  1. Retest to confirm your results. More data is always bette.
  2. Move closer to your gateway and retest. If the signal quality improves, continue testing and moving to identify poor signal locations.
  3. If the signal quality does not improve, identify and turn off extra ALTA Sensors in your area. ALTA devices that are frequently communicating may unintentionally cause the tool to report communication failures.

MONNIT DATA SECURITY

The ALTA Site Survey Tool is designed and built to securely manage data. Monnit works to ensure your data security is handled with the utmost care. The same methods used by financial institutions to transmit data are also used in Monnit’s security infrastructure. Security features from sensors to gateways include tamper-proof network interfaces, data encryption, and bank-grade security.
Monnit’s proprietary sensor protocol uses low power and specialized radio equipment to transmit application data. Wireless devices listening on open communication protocols cannot eavesdrop on sensors or the Site Survey Tool. Packet-level encryption and verification is key to ensuring data traffic isn’t altered between ALTA devices. Paired with a best-in-class range and power consumption protocol, all data is transmitted securely from your devices, ensuring a smooth, worry-free experience.

SENSOR COMMUNICATION SECURITY
Monnit’s sensor-to-gateway, secure wireless tunnel, Encrypt-RF™ , is generated using ECDH-256 (Elliptic Curve Diffie-Hellman) public key exchange to create a unique symmetric key between each pair of devices. Sensors, gateways, and the tool use this link-specific key to process packet-level data with hardware- accelerated 128-bit AES encryption, which minimizes power consumption to provide better battery life. Thanks to this combination, Monnit proudly offers robust bank-grade security at every level.

DATA SECURITY ON THE GATEWAY
ALTA Gateways are designed to prevent prying eyes from accessing the data that is stored on the sensors and the gateway. Gateways do not run on an off-the- shelf, multi-function operating system. Instead, they run on a purpose- specific, real-time, and embedded state machine that cannot be hacked to run malicious processes. There are also no active interface listeners that can be used to gain access to the device over the network. Our fortified gateways secure your data from attackers and secures the gateway from becoming a relay for malicious programs.
Click here for more information on gateway security.

iMONNIT SECURITY
The iMonnit system is the online software and central hub for configuring your device settings. All data is secured on dedicated servers operating Microsoft SQL Server. Access is granted through the iMonnit user interface that requires Two-Factor Authentication (2FA), or an Application Programming Interface (API) safeguarded by 256-bit Transport Layer Security (TLS 1.2) encryption. TLS is a blanket of protection to encrypt all data exchanged between iMonnit and you. The same encryption is available to you whether you are an iMonnit Basic or Premiere user. You can rest assured that your data is safe with iMonnit.

OPTIONAL DATA AUTHENTICATION
SensorPrints™ is the industry’s only end-to-end Internet of Things (loT) data authentication platform for low-power wireless sensors. SensorPrints authenticates data by issuing a unique fingerprint for each device within the loT. Data is secured from the point of generation to the point of consumption. Easy to install and use, SensorPrints is the definitive loT security solution for any enterprise. SensorPrints authenticates data at both the point of generation and consumption, creating trust between the sensor and server levels. Implementing 256-bit SHA 3 authentication, SensorPrints creates a fingerprint for an ALTA Wireless Sensor that contains an authenticated sensor message. When data is transmitted from the sensor, it is accompanied by a generated authentication token. Upon receipt by the application, the token is evaluated via cryptographic hash function against a unique per sensor secret key. This step provides an unprecedented level of full-coverage security for any Monnit user wishing to secure their loT devices and data.
