4. Optional: To measure the strength of the WASP signal(s) throughout the customer facility, follow the below

instructions provided by North Pole Engineering by using a portable WIFI WASP:

a. Download the WASP Util application from the iOS app store:

id966390978

b. Make sure the device running WASP Util is on the same network as the WASPs.

c. Open the WASP Util app.

d. Tap the sensors tab. In the sensors tab, all ANT+ sensors that are visible to the WASP will appear. If using a

heart rate monitor, assuming it is on and active, it should appear in the heart rate sensors list.

e. Note the RSSI. The RSSI will be stronger when closer to the WASP and weaker the farther away the sensor is

from the WASP. A stronger RSSI will be indicated by a smaller negative number. A weaker signal will be

indicated by a larger negative RSSI number. As an example, an RSSI value of -20 is stronger than an RSSI value

of -80. A good rule of thumb for installations is to make sure sensors the farthest away from the WASP have an

RSSI no worse than -70 to -80. An ideal RSSI range for all sensors is -40 to -60 or better.

For each sensor location, move the portable sensor to the locations where the fixed sensors will be placed.

Check the RSSI of the portable sensors in the WASP Util app noting values in a spreadsheet or similar data

recording tool. Makes sure to take multiple readings to obtain a good average RSSI value.

SMARTsync Setup

As long as the SMARTsync is connected to the same network switch as the WASPs, there should be no distance

constraint for setting up the SMARTsync relative to the WASPs.

1. Connect the SMARTsync via Ethernet cable to the same network switch as the WASPs and plus the power cord into

a power source.

2. Optional: Plug in an HDMI display to the SMARTsync. A display is only needed to display any local WASP/ANT

devices, or to view the current status of the SMARTsync. No keyboard/mouse input available.

3. The SMARTsync should display a momentary red LED followed by a blue LED, indicating that it is starting up. This

process takes approximately 1-2 minutes.

4. Optional: If attached to a display, the screen will show console lines scrolling during boot. Once the SMARTsync is

fully booted and running, the attached display will show the SMARTsync registration code, as well as the status of

the SMARTsync and the connected WASPs, ANT Device Type 99 are SMARTconnect units (high device numbers

(~5 digits) are not configured). If the WASP Title shows a MAC address, it likely not properly configured.
