An OT network sensor starts monitoring your network automatically after it's connected to the network and you've [signed in](activate-deploy-sensor.md#sign-in-to-the-sensor-console-and-change-the-default-password). Network devices start appearing in your device inventory, and [alerts](../alerts.md) are triggered for any security or operational incidents that occur in your network.

Initially, this activity happens in *learning* mode, which instructs your OT sensor to learn your network's usual activity, including the devices and protocols in your network, and the regular file transfers that occur between specific devices. Any regularly detected activity becomes your network's baseline traffic.

> Use your time in learning mode to triage your alerts and *Learn* those that you want to mark as authorized, expected activity. Learned traffic doesn't generate new alerts the next time the same traffic is detected.

Creating your baseline of OT alerts can take anywhere from a few days to several weeks, depending on your network size and complexity. We recommend that after 2-6 weeks, depending on your network size, you manually change the Learning mode to Dynamic mode when the daily number of alerts decreases to a manageable level. In dynamic mode Defender for IoT continues to monitor the network for suspicious traffic and triggers alerts, but also automatically moves individual sensors to operative mode if no new alerts are triggered.

In operational mode all alerts produced are listed in the inventory and must be remediated by following the actions listed in the alert details pane. If the alert was triggered by safe network traffic you'll need to use the **Learn** button to add this traffic to the baseline list so that the sensor doesn't produce an alert for this in the future.
