Mounting Esls - Opticon ESL Server Manual

ESL Server manual
v1.0.62.2
To reactivate these ESLs place them nearby the connected base station and select the base
station in the list view of the 'Base stations'-tab. This allows you to press the 'Reactivate ESLs'
button in the bottom right corner.
After pressing this button, a dialog will appear showing a progress bar and how many ESLs have
been reactivated so far.
Since the ESLs will only wake-up for a split second every few minutes, it can take more than 15
minutes before all ESLs have been successfully reactivated. You can verify this by checking
whether the 'DEACTIVATED' message has disappeared from the screen.
Active ESL's will be periodically seek for an Opticon base station, so as soon as an Opticon
base station is within range, they will associate with it and start sending data requests and status
information to it. When a base station is turned off or an ESL is moved out of range, an ESL will
time out after a couple of minutes and starts seeking for another base station in range. See
chapter 6.1 for more information about configuring ESLs.
It might be possible that even though the ESLs are working properly, they still don't connect to
the base station. This might be caused by strong interference on the default RF-channel of the
base station. To resolve this problem, see chapter 5.1
3.4.

Mounting ESLs

Since there are many types of mounting clips to mount shelf labels to shelves, the ESLs of the
demo kit are supplied without mounting clips. Please contact Opticon for more information on the
mounting possibilities of our ESLs to your shelves. For simple demonstration purposes with
small amounts of labels one might also consider using double sided foam tape as a temporarily
solution.
