Cape sensor - two questions

  • 1.  Cape sensor - two questions

    Posted Jan 07, 2021 03:08 PM
    Hello and Happy new year.

    We use Cape sensors (not the newer UXI) and I have a couple of questions.

    We had a sensor deployed that we disconnected for now. Of course it still shows up on the dashboard. If I "Remove" the sensor does it  go back to my list of available sensors for future deployment? Message just warns me that removing the sensor can't be undone. I suspect it goes back to the list of unused sensors but want to verify.

    I'm using another sensor at a remote site for wired and wireless connectivity. Both are currently working. I want to test giving the sensor a static IP after configuring it's port in a different vlan. If I give the sensor a static IP and something fails (e.g. routing issue, typo, etc.) can I still connect to the sensor over it's wireless link or T-mobile to change the IP settings on the wired interface? I want to test with this but don't want to lock myself out of reaching the sensor because of a bad wired static..

    Thanks!
    Mike

    1. If I "Remove" the sensor does it  go back to myst of available sensors for future deployment? Yes it come back in the list for deployment.
    2. Cape-sensor have 4G connection for configuration and monitor when then lan/wlan is offline. Not sure you can buy it without this subscription.

    Thanks Marcel. I can confirm the sensor goes back to the "on hand list" after being removed. My other question had more to do with whether I could stil manage the unit over the LTE link or the wireless link if the Ethernet link goes down. And happily I found that I can. I don't know the order in which the sensor communicates to the cloud - which interface it uses - but I suspect it will try any link that works - any port in a storm!
