Complete the connection of a sensor

After you have configured a sensor, you must complete the connection of the sensor.

Before you begin

Before you complete the connection procedure to add a sensor, make sure that you have configured the sensor.

Procedure

In Vantage, go back to the Make connections page.
Select Continue.
Vantage shows a message with the identifier (ID) of the sensor that you are connecting, and a timer shows as Vantage waits for traffic from the sensor.
Note:
When the message Sensor attached successfully shows, communication between the sensor and Vantage has been established.
If the Continue button does not show, the sensor might not be sending traffic. Reboot the sensor. If the Continue button still does not show, go to Sensor will not connect.
Verify the connection of a sensor.
