Consider the following guidelines when planning where to place devices on the Map in the Site Management app:
Sensor density: The density of sensors in areas of a Site is based on the human activity in an area and the topology of the forest floor. See
Density per hectare: This is related to sensor density, except that in this case you need to know where in the forest is the (WUI) and where are the deep forest areas.
Device ratio: Ensure sufficient Mesh Gateways are deployed for the number of sensors deployed. Similarly, ensure at least one Border Gateway and possibly a backup Border Gateway is deployed based on the amount of Mesh Gateways deployed. See .
Device range: Ensure sensors are deployed within range of at least one Mesh Gateway. See .
Packets are prepared using the Packet Planning page which displays any previously prepared Packets.
Log in to and from the Sites dashboard, select open a Site.
In the _Dashboard of the Site, select from the ellipsis menu (upper-right corner) the Packet editor. Any existing Packets appear in the editor.
Select + Add Packet to open the Create Packet page. A default location should be shown in the embedded map.
Provide a unique name for the Packet in the Packet name field, then select Add devices to packet.
After adding a new Packet, find the Site location by centering the map on the Site location using the Search field.
Use the Map tools (zoom in or out, move the map) to find the geographical area (Site location) where the devices in the Packet are to be deployed.
On the Packet Planning page, select Add devices to packet.
From the Device Type dropdown menu, select Border Gateway and enter the number of Border Gateways. Then, select Add.
Repeat the same procedure for Mesh Gateways.
Select Save to save the Packet (you may need to scroll down to see the Save button).
Placing Border Gateways on the map generates the GPS location for each Border Gateway. Ensure the map is centered on your Site location.
Select the Gateway(s), then select Add devices to map.
The Gateway(s) appears on the map as icons centered in the view.
Drag the Gateway icons to the approximate location of the planned deployment. The GPS coordinates appear next to the device in the list.
Select Save to save the Packet (you may need to scroll down to see the Save button).
Select Back to go the Packet Planning page.
On the Packet Planning page, select Add devices to packet.Select Add devices to packet and select Sensor.
From the Device Type dropdown menu, select Sensor and enter the number of Sensors. Then, select Add.
Select Save to save the Packet.
Placing sensors on the map generates the GPS location for each sensor. Ensure the map is centered on your Site location. Ensure you follow the guidelines in Device Ratio and Ranges and Sensor density when placing the sensors.
Select the sensors, then select Place on map. The sensors appear on the map in a default location in the center. The GPS coordinates of the sensors appear in the list next to the devices.
Drag the sensor icons to their respective deployment locations. When selecting a sensor icon, the distance between the Wildfire Sensor and the nearest devices and Gateway are highlighted
Select Save to save the Packet
Select Back to go the Packet Planning page.
When the required number and type of Packets have been prepared, the new Packets appears in the Packet Planning page and in the Silvanet Deployment app.
The Packet Planning page allows for a Packet to be modified such as deleting a device from a Packet.
Open the Packet editor from the ellipsis menu in the Site Dashboard.
Select a Packet, then select the Pencil (Edit) icon to open the Packet in Edit mode.
From the list of devices, select the devices to be edited.
To update GPS coordinates of a device, select the Pencil icon next to the device, make changes to the Latitude and Longitude, then save the changes.
To delete a Sensor or Gateway, select the device then selecting Remove.
This only removes the Sensor from the Packet. If a
Select Save to save the changes. A Packet saved message appears.
Deleting a Sensor or Gateway from Packets
If a Silvanet device has already been deployed, deleting a Silvanet device from a Packet does not delete the device from the Dryad database. Contact Dryad for more information.
If required, a Packet can be deleted from the Site Management app.
Open the Packet planning page in the Site Management app.
Select a Packet, then select the Trash (delete) icon.
Confirm the deletion.
Select Save to save the changes.
Before adding Wildfire Sensor, review the .
If a device has not been deployed, it can be removed from the Packet. However, once a device has been deployed, removing a device requires sending a request to Dryad to remove the device from the Site database. In this case, send a to Dryad with the Device IDs of the devices you have removed from your Site.
