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.   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).

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.  Use an unpowered switch (WSS0S) or similar transmitter to verify EnOcean telegrams are being 

received and the WSCOM tool is working properly.

 

•  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).

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.

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.

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 room’s 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 shouldn’t) in order to adjust their sensitivity.

Perhaps the best usage for the WSCOM device is enabled by using the DolphinView Basic software to perform a site survey:

•   Checking signal strength (dBm level and sub-telegrams) of packets transmitted.

•  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.

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.

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.

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. 

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.
