on creating a Positioning Model using the Ekahau Manager.
Test the Positioning Model by walking around the site with the
laptop while observing your location on the map. Then save
the model in the Positioning Engine.
Charging T201 Tags
T201 internal battery needs to be charged before use.
1. Apply the charger provided by Ekahau. If you want to use your
own charger, see Chapter 3: Technical Specifications.
2. Plug the flat end of the splitter cable to the T201 tag.
3. Attach the cable from the charger into the round plug of the
splitter cable.
4. The green status LED will turn off once the charging is complete.
This may take up to 6 hours depending on charger. You can use
the tag normally while it is being charged, but the LED status
lights are not displayed during charging.
CHAPTER 2: Configuration
Accessing the Configuration Interface (CLI)
The T201 tag provides a Command Line Interface (CLI) for configuring
its settings. The CLI can be accessed with the included serial cable.
You need to configure at least each tag’s communication settings to
let it associate with your Wi-Fi network and communicate with the
Positioning Engine software. To configure a tag, follow these steps:
1. Plug the flat end of the splitter cable into the T201 tag.
2. Plug the 9 pin serial connector of the splitter cable to your laptop.

Minimum Configuration
To allow T201 associate with your Wi-Fi network and communicate
with the Positioning Engine, you must configure at least:
SSID (network name is always required)
Positioning Engine IP address (always required)
WEP key as a string or hex bytes (if WEP is enabled)
T201 IP address or method (if DHCP service is not available))
T201 friendly name (optional but recommended)
It is recommended to name each T201. The name will be displayed in
Ekahau Manager instead of IP address, and developers can read the
names via Ekahau SDK and YAX device property
GENERAL.NAME.
Minimum configuration with example values:
tag[00001]#

Configuring Multiple Tags
To configure tags faster, it is helpful to create a text file that contains
the preferred configuration settings, and send the file to the CLI with
any terminal program.
1. Open Windows Notepad or similar plain text tool, and write a
configuration parameter on each row. For example:
wlan ssid test-net<Enter>
engine ip 192.168.1.1
wlan wep 1 26:4d:29:42:34:28:4d:69:44:30:24:4d:29<Enter>
save
<Enter>
2. Save the file for example as T201_settings.txt.
3. Connect a T201 tag to your computer and open a terminal
program, such as HyperTerminal (see the previous chapters).
4. Select

Configuration Tips
Fetches and upgrades tag’s
embedded software from a server in
the network.
Supports http, https and ftp
protocols
When upgrading the tag software
plug the tag to the charger to
avoid accidental loss of power in
middle of upgrade.
Username and password are
optional.
Use software packages provided
by Ekahau only.
This section provides tips that guide you in selecting the optimal
configuration for your tags.
For best performance in accuracy it is recommended let T201 to
scan two times before sending both results to engine. This improves
Engines throughput and accuracy.
Ekahau recommends to use UDP protocol instead of TCP with larger
amount of T201’s that frequently send data to the Engine. This is
because of smaller overhead of the UDP protocol. Note that UPD
protocol transmission is not guaranteed.
To save battery power it is recommended to always use "Sleep
WLAN" option.
Ekahau recommends to use UDP protocol instead of TCP with larger
amount of T201’s that frequently send data to the Engine. This is
because of smaller overhead of the UDP protocol. Note that UPD
protocol transmission is not guaranteed.
TCP protocol is recommended for applications were it is essential for
the engine to receive all packets from the T201’s. TCP protocol
transmission is always guaranteed.
25
T201 gives mistaken status "Associated" even if the WEP key is not
correct. This is because WLAN driver gives correct response that it
has "associated" to access point, but it does not inform if
"Authentication" was successful. To avoid problems with the
authentication make sure that the WEP key(s) are set correctly.
T201 supports roaming between different SSIDs. This is
implemented by scanning all audible networks and selecting the
SSID in index 1. If that is not audible then index 2 and so on. How
ever, if the signal of SSID index 1 is low enough, lower than -
80dBm, the index 2 is tried to use and so on. This way T201
ensures that it establishes good connection to network even when
the prior (index 1) network is audible with too low signal strength.
Following settings have proven to work well with the motion sensor:
motion sensitivity = 3
motion poll interval = 0.200 seconds
motion threshold = 5
motion dead time = 5.000 seconds

CHAPTER 4: Care and Limited Warranty
Care and Maintenance
The tag is a product of superior design and craftsmanship and should
be treated with care. The suggestions below will help you to fulfill any
warranty obligations and to use this product for many years.
Keep the tag dry. Precipitation, humidity and all types of liquids or
moisture can contain minerals that will corrode electronic circuits.
Do not use or store the tag in dusty, dirty areas. Its moving parts
can be damaged.
Do not store the tag in hot areas. High temperatures can shorten
the life of electronic devices, damage batteries, and warp or melt
certain plastics.
Do not store the tag in cold areas. When it warms up (to its normal
temperature), moisture can form inside, which may damage
electronic circuit boards.
The operating temperature of the tag is 0 to 50 °C. Do not operate
the tag outside this temperature range.
Do not attempt to open the tag. Non-expert handling may damage
it.
Do not drop, knock or shake the tag. Rough handling can break
internal circuit boards.
29
Do not use harsh chemicals, cleaning solvents, or strong detergents
to clean the tag.
Do not paint the tag. Paint can clog the moving parts and prevent
proper operation.
Use a soft, clean and dry cloth to clean the tag.
Use only the supplied antenna. Unauthorized antennas,
modifications or attachments could damage the tag and may violate
regulations governing radio devices.
All of the above suggestions apply equally to your tag, battery,
charger or any accessory.
