SSKFunctionalOverview
The Sontay SonNet Site Survey Kit (SSK) is designed to make the design and installation of a SonNet radio
sensor system simple and quick and to take the guesswork out of the radio communications aspect of the
network.
TheSSKreceivershouldbeplacedwheretheactualRFRXsystemreceiverwillbeinstalled(typicallyinaplant
roomorriser).
The handheld monitor (HHM) communicates with the SSK receiver (via a router, if necessary), and the LCD
displayshowswhichnodesareonlineandthequalityoftheradiolinktotheirparentdevices.

SSKNodes
RFTS900 nodes are used in conjunction with the Sontay RFRXSS receiver, RFPS500 routers and RFHHT
handheldmonitor.
Data is transmitted back to the receiver every 30 seconds. Each sensor retains these configurations if the
batterybecomesdischargedorrequiresreplacement.
NB To preserve battery life, an SSK node will automatically go offline after approximately 4 hours if not
powercycled.

TheRadioSystem
TheradiosystemusedbytheSontaySonNetdevicesisdividedinto3sectionsorlayers.
1.
The radio layer is where physical control of the radio signal is done. This conforms to
international standard 802.15.4, and determines the frequency of the radio signals, the
number of channels available for use, the bandwidth and power level of the signal etc.
Thereare16channelsavailable,andthebestoneisautomaticallyselectedbythereceiver.
ThefrequenciesusedareintheISM(Industrial,ScientificandMedical)2.4GHzband,witha
maximumdatarateof250kb/s.
2.
The network management layer is where the selfhealing tree functionality is run, which
controlsnetworktopology.ZigBeeisanexampleofanetworkmanagementMESHprotocol.
SonNet does not use ZigBee, but instead uses a selfhealing tree protocol to control
networktopology.
3.
Theapplicationlayeriswhatdetermineswhatthedevicedoesi.e.makesitatemperature
sensingdevice,arouterorareceiver.SonNetdevicesusespecificapplications,andinclude
featuressuchasconfigurationproperties.
Security
AllSonNetsystemdeviceshavethesame,uniquenetworkidentifier.OnlydeviceswiththecorrectIDwillbe
allowed to join the network. The ID used by system devices is different from the ID used for site survey kit
(SSK) devices. Hence, SSK devices cannot join a system network and vice versa. When a SonNet system
network has been formed, it can be locked to prevent any unauthorised devices joining, even if they are
SonNetdevices.TheCMScanbeusedtoauthoriseextraSonNetsystemdevicesifrequired.
AlldatatransmittedbySonNetdevicesisencrypted.
HowtheSelfHealingTreeNetworkIsFormed
Thenetworkisformedbasedon3rules,andinaspecificorderofpriority:
1.
Howmanytiersadeviceisawayfromthereceiver.
If a device can communicate directly with the receiver, it will, even if the link quality is
poorerthanifitwentthrougharouter.Ifadevicehasachoiceofmorethanonerouter,it
willalwayschoosetherouterclosesttothereceiver(theleastnumberoftiersaway),evenif
thelinkqualityismarginal.
2.
Thenumberofchilddevicesarouteralreadyhas.
A router can have a maximum of 16 children. If a device has a choice of more than one
router of the same tier level, it will always choose the router with the least number of

BestPractisePoints:
1. Alwaysconductasitesurvey,andensurethatifyouplantouseanexternalextensionaerial
onthesystemreceiver(forexample,ifthereceiveristobeinametalpanel),youusethe
same external extension aerial on the SSK receiver for the survey. Document the survey
thoroughly,andleaveacopyonsite.
2. When planning where routers are going to be needed, plan for redundancy, i.e. what
happenstoallthe EDsconnected toarouteriftherouterfails?Backuproutersareworth
considering.Seepages1113.
3. Generally speaking, wireless works best in a horizontal plane, so expect reduced signal
strengthifhereceiverisonadifferentfloortotherouters/EDs.Agoodruleofthumbishave
thereceiveronthesamefloorasitschildren,thoughthisisntalwaysthecase.
4. 2.4GHz wireless signals dont go through metal! Plan to circumvent metal obstructions
wherepossible.
5. Iftheinstallationenvironmentisonewhereobstructionsarelikelytochangeregularly(ina

6. Rememberthatwhenareceiverscansall16channelsforthebestone,thechannelchosenis
the best where the receiver is. On long networks with several layers of routers, the
channel chosen by the receiver may not always be the quietest at the far end of the
network.Whentheinstallednetworkisfinallyformed,pressthereceiverresetbuttonand
ensure the network reforms properly. This will ensure that, in the event that the receiver
needstochangechannels(forexample),itwillworkseamlessly.
