Mesh Enabled Architecture Geo-Location Reference Guide Overview The Mesh Sensor Monitor (MSM) application provides an interface that allows a user/operator to send or receive data from a remote wireless sensor node within a Mesh Enabled Architecture (MEA™) network. Sensor devices can be connected to the MEA wireless device via an RS-232 or an RS-485 interface. Mesh Sensor Monitor is designed as a debug tool for sensor network development, sensor/network integration, or third party develo
