+* You can test the connection by clicking the 'Toggle LED' on the sensor node. This often takes 10 seconds to transmit and will affect LED D2 on the GW16122 if it is being used as a sensor. 
+
+==== Troubleshooting ====
+* Be sure any GW16122 boards have an antenna installed
+* Be sure the collector network is an open network so that the sensors can joined. By default, the network is closed and no sensors can join
+* Be sure that the Gateworks board and collector are all setup and turned on and the WebGUI is live with the run_demo script running on the Gateworks board. After this, then try re-programming the sensor firmware. This usually will force the sensor to re-join and search for new networks.
+* On the Gateworks board, you can try deleting the file in the extracted bin folder called nv-simulation.bin. This file will erase all previously connected sensor entries.
