EQUIPMENT NEEDED FOR INSTALLATION:
Desktop/laptop/notebook PC or similar USB Enabled Device. DolphinView Basic (minimum) or other Third Party Software. FTDI Drivers (Included with DolphinView). USB Extension Cable (Optional). INSTALLATION:
This installation guide concentrates on the usage of the WSCOM tool with the EnOcean DolphinView Basic software package. DolphinView Basics allows for signal monitoring of transmitted wireless telegrams. In order to transmit telegrams or utilize Remote Management features the DolphinvView Advanced or other third party software package will be required. See details at the bottom of this documentation for these other software options. 1. Make sure the WSCOM tool is not plugged into the PC. 2. Download DolphinView Basic from Leviton: www.leviton.com/LevNetRF/DolphinViewBasic 3. DolphinView Basic System requirements:
Windows XP, Windows Vista or Windows 7;
CPU 1.5GHz, 1 GB RAM, 200 MB Disc Space;
Screen resolution 1280x768 with DirectX 9 support. Install DolphinView Basic 3.2.1.0 or newer on your Windows PC. Be sure to accept all selections: Uninstall previous DolphinView, Create desktop icon, and Update or install FTDI drivers version 2.08.02 (or newer). NET Framework 3.5 installed;
4. Restart your PC after installation is complete. 5. Start DolphinView. 6. Plug in the LevNet RF USB computer link. When first plugging in the WSCOM tool the red power LED will turn ON while the amber and green LED will blink twice at the same time. This signals the device has received power, booted up, and is working properly. 7. The WSCOM Tool should automatically be detected by the Windows XP/7 PC and any new drivers required will be installed. It is important to allow Windows to search for software. This is a process that can take up to 2 minutes. Both a USB Com Port Driver and USB Serial Port Driver will be installed. Note: If the driver fails to install, a manual install of the FTDI driver maybe required. Refer to the troubleshooting section towards the end of this document for more details. 8. 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.

2.3.0.0 ID: 01010762 A100D28SA GATEWAYCTRL DEVICE STATUS LEDS:
Red power LED: Device is being power from host. Amber receive LED: Device received a wireless telegram. Green transmit LED: Device transmitted a wireless telegram (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:
As a communication gateway between EnOcean enabled devices. For monitoring and logging a site having EnOcean enabled devices. For testing new or pre-existing installs. As a repeater. 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 determine a rooms occupancy over the course of a day, week, or month. It can also be used to determine if sensors are false tripping (turning on when they shouldnt) in order to adjust their sensitivity. 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:
Verifying if devices are transmitting (occupancy sensors) with proper signal strength. The WSCOM should be located close to the receiving device. Validating an install is working properly by logging a rooms data over several days. 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 of signals. Those sites with poor signal quality (refer to Device Performance section below) between transmitter and receiver can use the WSCOM device to determine best location of repeater. This would require enabling one WSCOM device as a repeater and using another device to monitor the received signal near the transmitter. Enabling the repeater of the WSCOM device requires usage of the DolphinView Advanced or other software tool with access to the Telegram Transmit function. When using with DolphinView Advanced open up the Telegram Transmit tab (use drop-down menu under the EnOcean logo if not seen). Click the + Add Operation tab. From the drop-down menu select Send Serial: ESP3 Packet Level 1 Repeater: Type 05, Data: 09, 01, 01 Level 2 Repeater: Type 05, Data: 09, 01, 02 Click on the Executed selected to enable the repeater of a device. To disable the repeater: Type 05, Data: 09, 00, 00 A 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. Checking signal strength (dBm level and sub-telegrams) of packets transmitted. 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 have a unique ID (1 of 4 billion). The quality of the signal can be determined by the dBm level and sub-
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 the signal quality goes down. Figure 2. DolphinView Telegram Log Serial Autoscroll Autoselect Telegram Log Log directory Telegram Direction Clear log TimeDif. Security count:

Driver Installation Problems (Device not detected): DolphinView and other 3rd Party software providers will typically install the latest FTDI drivers. 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.htm for more details along with installation guides. A reboot after installation maybe required. Refer to FTDI AN_104 for Windows XP installations. Driver Not Installed: If the driver does not get installed properly and the device is no longer detected when plugging into the PC this will require accessing the Device Manager. Under Other devices look for FT232R 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 receiver is not possible then repeaters maybe required. 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. Other factors restricting transmission range:
False ceilings with panels of metal or carbon fiber. Hollow lightweight walls filled with insulating wool on metal foil. The distance between EnOcean receivers and other transmitting devices such as computers, audio and video equipment that also emit high-frequency signals should be at least 3ft. THIRD PARTY SOFTWARE:
Any third party software which supports the EnOcean Serial Protocol V3 (ESP3) can be used. This includes but is not limited to these tools and site gateway packages:
LevNet RF view - www.leviton.com/LevNetRF/LevNetRFview EnOcean DolphinView Basic www.leviton.com/LevNetRF/DolphinViewBasic Leviton occupancy sensors should be rotated so that the Leviton logo points towards the receiver.
