Location, with an Ethernet port that has been tested and configured to work with 10 Base‐T, full duplex Ethernet. ( A 10/100 autosense setting should be adequate) System Components The Awarepoint Real‐time Awareness Solution consists of several components as shown in the diagram below. The parts of the system that require installation include Awarepoint Tags, Awarepoint Sensors, Awarepoint Bridges, and the Awarepoint Appliance. The Awarepoint Appliance contains all software necessary for system operation. Figure 1-1.1: System Diagram 1.3.1 Sensor There are several models of Sensors.

Figure 1.1-2: Awarepoint Sensor model R1 Figure 1.1-3: Awarepoint Sensor model S2 The Sensor model R1 displays its status three visual indicators in the form of Light Emitting Diodes (LEDs). The topmost LED indicates network status. Red indicates that the Sensor cannot communicate with any other devices. Yellow indicates that it can communicate with the Bridge but not the Appliance. Green means that it can communicate with the Bridge and Appliance. The middle LED indicates network activity. In normal operation, it will occasionally blink. The bottom LED (blue) indicates power. If the device is plugged into an outlet that has power then it is illuminated. The Sensor model S2 displays its status with one LED visual indicator. If it is off then the device is defective or not powered. Red indicates that the Sensor cannot communicate with any other devices. Yellow indicates that it can communicate with the Bridge but not the Appliance. Green means that it can communicate with the Bridge and Appliance. Awarepoint Sensor Installation Sensors need to be located throughout the coverage area, including along the perimeter. When installing Sensors, begin by installing Sensors near the Bridge and work progressively outward in concentric circles. In this manner, you will minimize the number of Sensors that must be moved. Prior to installing the Sensors, the Appliance and Bridge must be installed correctly. Physical Installation The Sensors are installed in standard electrical power receptacles. Prior to installing the Sensor you must locate a powered outlet. Verify that the receptacle has power by using an electrical tester. Awarepoint Sensor S2 ©... -

contact the electrical prongs while they are still inserted in the outlet. For insertion or removal, grasp the sensor by the sides only. Verify the Sensor Connects to the Network Once you plug the Sensor into an outlet, it will attempt to connect to the Awarepoint network. This process will take approximately one minute. When the Sensor has completed this process, the Network LED will be illuminated Green. If the Sensor is unable to connect to the network (out of range of a network or network not properly configured), the Sensor will continue to attempt to connect to the network and the Network LED will be Red. Once the Sensor has successfully connected to the network, mark the Sensor location and its MAC address on a paper copy of the map. Place Awarepoint Sensor on Map Open the System Manager and click on the Positioning: Configuration tab. The Sensor you just installed should show up in the Unassigned section of the device tree. If it is functioning correctly, the icon for the Sensor should be green. In the device tree, expand the Campus and Building so that you can see the floor. Click on the floor to display the map for the floor. Drag the Sensor icon onto the map and place it where it is located.

Finally, click the Apply button. Continue to place all Sensors. As they are placed, they will join the network. Some routing lines will be displayed as shown below. Figure 2‐2: Positioning: Configuration Tab ‐ Placing all Awarepoint Sensors Troubleshooting Customer Support: 1‐888‐TAGIT‐NOW Awarepoint Sensor If the Sensor appears Red in the Positioning: Configuration tab or on the Awarepoint Network Operations Center, the Sensor has a problem. Try the following steps: 1. Verify the Bridge nearest the Sensor is functioning correctly. Verify the Appliance is functioning correctly. 2. If multiple Sensors were down and they are all grouped together, likely these were all routing through one Sensor and that Sensor lost connectivity. Wait approximately one hour and check the status again. If the Sensors are still down, proceed to step 3. 3. Verify that the Sensor is physically present. If so, then proceed. 4. Unplug and replug the Sensor. If it is still red, replace the Sensor. If another Sensor is red in the same location, likely the Sensor is out of range of the next nearest Sensor. Move the Sensor closer to the Sensors that are working. Awarepoint Sensor S2 © 2008 Awarepoint Corporation Installation Manual...
