2.6 System Hardware Deployment
2.6.1 Positioning your Access Point and Router(s)
The access point and routers together form the wireless network through which your wireless
ESL tags will operate; correct placement is essential to ensure that you stay within the
operating range of the access point and router(s). Keep in mind, however, that the number,
thickness and location of walls, ceilings, or other objects that the wireless signals must pass
through, may limit the range. Typical ranges vary depending on the types of materials and
background RF (radio frequency) noise in your home or business. The key to maximizing
wireless range is to follow these basic guidelines:
Make sure that your devices are located within reach of an AC power outlet.
Place your devices in an elevated location, recommends a minimum height of 2m to
achieve the best reception.
Keep the number of walls and ceilings between the access point and the router(s) to a
minimum. Each wall or ceiling can reduce your devices range from 3-90 feet (1-30
meters.) Position your devices so that the number of walls or ceilings is minimized.
Be aware of the direct line between network devices. A wall that is 1.5 feet thick (0.5
meters), at a 45-degree angle appears to be almost 3 feet (1 meter) thick. At a 2-degree
angle it looks over 42 feet (14 meters) thick! Position devices so that the signal will
travel straight through a wall or ceiling (instead of at an angle) for better reception.
Building Materials make a difference. A solid metal door or aluminum studs may have a
negative effect on range. Try to position the wired access point and wireless routers so
that the signal passes through drywall or open doorways. Materials and objects such as
glass, steel, metal, walls with insulation, water (fish tanks), mirrors, file cabinets, brick,
and concrete will degrade your wireless signal.
Keep your product away (at least 3-6 feet or 1-2 meters) from electrical devices or
appliances that generate RF noise.

2.7 Computer Configuration for LEO-D ePaper Display Soultion Installation
It can be seen in the diagram below that the system architecture consists of several key
components; a single or multiple Access Points, several Routers, multiple End Devices (LEO-D
tags) and the Platanus Daemon program running on a desktop.
This LEO-D Device Manager installation is designed to use either a static IP address for a single
Access Point or a dynamic IP address when multiple Access Points are installed.
2.7.1 IP Address Configuration (Static IP)
Ensure that your Access Point is connected to your computer.
Your Access Point comes pre-configured with a default IP Address (192.168.2.1) and therefore
prior to installing the ELSA-M firmware and software (reference Section 3.1) it is necessary to
modify the IP Address of the Ethernet port on your computer that is cabled to the Access Point
so that they can communicate with one another.
Ensure that your Access Point is connected to your computer.
