50 can then be done from any location provided that that location is connected to the same network as the EBS-50. It is even possible to do that from a remote location but in that case, a VPN tunnel is required because of safety concerns. The EBS-50 can setup that VPN tunnel by itself, provided that the remote location already has a VPN server running but this is usually not needed.
USB-OTG port, with a micro USB style connector. The main use of the host port is for a Wi-Fi dongle and Opticon will come with a list of approved dongles for which the driver is already installed. This port however can also be used for software updates that come on a USB-stick for those situations where the EBS-50 cannot connect to the Internet.
3.1 Weight The weight of the EBS-50 is approx. 250g (TBD) 3.2 Dimensions The dimensions of the EBS-50 base station: 145 x 110 x 27.1 mm (179.6x158.3x27.1 mm with the antennas mounted alongside the main housing). Figure 1: EBS-50 Dimensions 3.3 Maximum total height...
The EBS-50 comes with a mounting plate for easy mounting to e.g. a wall or the ceiling. The EBS-50 can slide over the mounting plate to click and lock it into place. To unlock it, use a flat screwdriver to push the locking tap down and then slide the EBS-50 away from the screwdriver.
± 8 kV (No damage but operator involvement may be required) 4.4 Drop resistance. The EBS-50 has withstood the following drop test: Drop the base station 12 times (3 times at each of 4 orientations), from a height of 1m onto a concrete floor as shown below.
Radio Baud rate 250 Kbits / second Number of independent radios Channels 1~10 are reserved for sub-GHz frequencies, which are not supported by the EBS-50. Local regulations may not allow the use of these channels. Parameter Unit Remarks Receiver sensitivity -100.3...

6.2 Reset switch The reset switch can be used to reset the EBS-50 to factory default. This can be used for instance when the operator has made a mistake and has accidentally locked the EBS-50 out from the network. Since the EBS-50 must be controlled via a web-browser, a working Ethernet connection is required to change the setup, so when that is not working the reset switch is the only thing that can bring the EBS-50 back online.
7 Indicators The EBS-50 has 5 LED indicators that are visible from the top of the device. Figure 9: LED Indicators Power. This LED turns red right after the power is applied. The internal computer will then start running and when it is done with the boot process, the led will turn green. If the LED stays red for several minutes, a severe problem has occurred.
802.15.4 MAC address: M1M2M3-SaSbS1S2S3 M1M2M3 defines the manufacturer ID, which is 00126A for Opticon and is the same for both address types. The bytes that follow the manufacturer ID, define the product number which is three bytes long for an Ethernet address and 5 bytes for an 802.15.4 address. To convert the two, we have set SaSb both to zero.
1 4 8 2 8 Figure 13: White box label The white box label lists the item number and serial number just as on the product label. It also shows a GTIN barcode that has the Opticon manufacturer number and the article code encoded.
The shipment box label is Opticon’s standard shipment box label and contains information about the order number, box quantity, manufacturing spec. number, software versions etc. The label also contains a GTIN barcode. The label is according to Opticon’s shipment box standard rev 9 and the size is 160x105mm.

10.1 Basic setup To start working with the EBS-50, the first step that needs to be done is to connect it to a network via Ethernet. Once that is done, the EBS-50 can be configured via any computer on the same network.

This is the ESL dashboard that shows an overview of the system, such as the status of the ESL’s, the database, the server etc. This is all explained in the user manual of the EBS-50. The most important step is to configure the network here which is why this part is added to this specification manual.
