Classification: CPC G  H | IPC G  H

Claim 7:
8. A communication unit configured for commissioning a sensor, the communication unit comprising:
a wireless transceiver configured to communicate with a system controller;
a scanner;
a processor; and
memory operatively connected to the processor, the memory comprising executable instructions that when executed by the processor cause the processor to:
scan, via the scanner, a sensor-identifying feature of the sensor to provide sensor-identifying data;
send, via the wireless transceiver to the system controller, the sensor-identifying data;
receive, via the wireless transceiver from the system controller, one or more contextual prompts regarding a sensed object to which the sensor is operatively connected, wherein the sensed object is an object having one or more parameters that are subject to being sensed by the sensor and wherein the contextual prompts solicit information regarding the context in which the sensor will be operating and that permit association of the sensed object with the sensor;
send, via the wireless transceiver to the system controller, sensed object context information in response to the contextual prompts; and
receive, via the wireless transceiver from the system controller, confirmation of commissioning of the sensor.
