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, the sensor runs in *learning* mode to monitor all of your network traffic and build a baseline of all normal traffic patterns. This baseline includes all of the devices and protocols in your network, and the regular file transfers that occur between devices. This process normally takes between 2 and 6 weeks, depending on your network size and complexity. Additionally, any devices discovered later enter learning mode for 7 days in order to establish their network traffic baseline.

In learning mode, the sensor monitors and protects your environment by triggering relevant security alerts, such as malware, anomoly and operational alerts. However, policy violation alerts, which indicate deviations from the baseline, aren't triggered while the system is in learning mode.

Once the discovery process and network traffic is stable, you should manually turn off learning mode. At this point, the sensor transitions to dynamic mode. In Dynamic mode the sensor continues to monitor your network, validating and refining the baseline. The sensor assesses each alert category and scenario individually, dynamically changing them to operational mode when their baselines are confirmed to be accurate. Alternatively, if the sensor detects significant changes in traffic, it may automatically extend the learning mode for specific alerts or scenarios.
