- Page 7 PowerGIG‐OAC PowerGIG‐MobileApp User Guide 8. From the main home page there are two options: INITIALIZE is used with NFC to pre‐configure the switch prior to installation. TROUBLESHOOT is used with BLE to access the switch to check or change configuration or reboot the switch after installation without having to physically access the switch with a cable. The use of these two buttons are briefly detailed starting on page 8. The ideal use case is for the switch to be pre‐configured through NFC (via the PowerGIG‐MobileApp) prior to installation or bootup. The switch is then installed in an out‐of‐reach location (e.g. high on a pole or wall). The switch is powered up and the configuration is set in the switch. At this point, the NFC is no longer used for configuration changes (i.e. no one should have to climb the pole to get close enough to make changes—and no unauthorized person should be able to make changes either). All future changes can be made remotely through the Web UI or at the site (from the ground) through BLE using the PowerGIG‐MobileApp. Page 7 of 27 BSP0415.A 33816 www.berktek.us ...

Page 21: Additional Information
PowerGIG‐OAC PowerGIG‐MobileApp User Guide 5. Additional Information Q & A Q1: What is the PowerGIG‐MobileApp used for? A1: The PowerGIG‐MobileApp interfaces with the NFC and BLE features to allow switch configuration, remote diagnosis, and troubleshooting without having to climb a ladder or scissor lift to connect to the switch. Q2: How can you configure the switch without it being powered up? A2: When the NFC‐enabled device (smartphone or tablet) and the NFC “tag” or antenna on the switch are in close proximity, a magnetic field is formed and the power from that magnetic field uses modulation to transfer data. The NFC antenna/tag contains a nonvolatile EEPROM which retains the data transferred from the smartphone or tablet even after it moves out of proximity, and the configuration is transferred into the switch’s memory once the switch is fully powered up. Q3: What does the BLE feature do? A3: The Bluetooth Low Energy feature allows remote access to the switch without having to physically connect with a cable, so monitoring and troubleshooting and changes can be made prior to leaving the job site or after ladders or scissor lifts have been removed. The maximum range is approximately 328 feet (100 meters); local environmental factors (such as trees, building materials, etc.) can limit this distance. Q4: Are the BLE and NFC features safe and secure enough for my network? A4: NFC is considered very secure and is frequently used for contactless payments (e.g. Apple Pay). A secure channel is established and uses encryption for sending sensitive information. However, we always recommend users have antivirus software and passwords on their devices in case they are lost or stolen. Page 21 of 27 BSP0415.A 33816 www.berktek.us ... -

Glossary of Terms NOTE: The mention or definition of a term here does not imply that the switch supports that particular feature. 802.11b standard has a maximum raw data rate of 11 Mbit/s and uses the same media access method defined in the original standard. 802.11b products appeared on the market in early 2000, since 802.11b is a direct extension of the modulation technique defined in the original standard. The dramatic increase in throughput of 802.11b (compared to the original standard) along with simultaneous substantial price reductions led to the rapid acceptance of 802.11b as the definitive wireless LAN technology. Devices using 802.11b experience interference from other products operating in the 2.4 GHz band. Devices operating in the 2.4 GHz range include microwave ovens, Bluetooth devices, baby monitors, cordless telephones, and some amateur radio equipment. 802.11g modulation standard was ratified in June 2003. This works in the 2.4 GHz band (like 802.11b) but uses the same OFDM based transmission scheme as 802.11a. It operates at a maximum physical layer bit rate of 54 Mbit/s exclusive of forward error correction codes, or about 22 Mbit/s average throughput. 802.11g hardware is fully backward compatible with 802.11b hardware, and therefore is encumbered with legacy issues that reduce throughput by ~21% when compared to 802.11a. 802.11n is an amendment that improves upon the previous 802.11 standards by adding multiple‐input multiple‐ output antennas (MIMO). 802.11n operates on both the 2.4 GHz and the 5 GHz bands. Support for 5 GHz bands is optional. Its net data rate ranges from 54 Mbit/s to 600 Mbit/s. The IEEE has approved the amendment, and it was published in October 2009. Prior to the final ratification, enterprises were already migrating to 802.11n networks based on the Wi‐Fi Alliance’s certification of products conforming to a 2007 draft of the 802.11n proposal. APK File and “Sideloading”: The .apk (Android Package) is a package file format used by the Android OS for distributing and installing mobile apps. APK files are a type of archive file, specifically in zip format packages, based on the JAR file format, with .apk as the filename extension. APK files can have any name needed, as long as the file name ends in the file extension ".apk". APK files can be installed on Android‐powered devices just like installing software on a PC. When you download and install an Android application, you are installing an APK file on to your device. You can also install an APK file directly to a device (i.e. not via download from the network) from a desktop computer, using a communication program (e.g. adb) or from within a file manager app in a process known as "sideloading". Installing APK files downloaded outside the Google Play is disabled by default. You can install unknown APK files by enabling "Unknown sources" from "Accounts and Security" in Settings. With Android apps, "sideloading" usually means installing an application package in APK format onto an Android device. Such packages are usually downloaded from websites other than Google play, usually with a computer. Sideloading apps is only ...
