PRODUCT DESCRIPTION

The MX01 is a low power sensor for use in retail monitoring applications. MX01 leverages the industry
standard wireless IEEE 802.15.4 to seamlessly integrate with other retail solutions. By using industry
standards and a modular sensor scheme, MX01 enables a wide range of sensing applications and network
capabilities. With MX01, real time knowledge of the retail environment becomes possible.

Properly assembled, the MX01 will monitor the ground loop antenna; connect to the modem or Ethernet
board, battery or wall power supply, and the radio which can be seen in figure 1a and figure 1b. The
locations of the DIP switches and the RESET, JOIN, and SW B buttons are also shown in figure 1b. Select

JOIN A NETWORK

The following procedures outline how to join the MX01 radio board to a system network.

Join Operation

Step 1: Find the nearest Network Router or the Network Integrator wit hi n radio range of the

network device, typically between 60’ (20m) to 300’ (150m) depending upon the number and type
of obstructions. Open the case and press and hold the Join button for at least 2 seconds. The blue
network LED will light (on but not blink.) This indicates this device will accept new network
members for 20 minutes.

Step 2: Go back to the network device and press the join button once briefly. The blue LED will go

on for 2 minutes or until the network device joins the local network. If the blue LED goes ou t and
does not blink, the join was not a success and there is a problem.

NOTE: All DIP switches MUST BE OFF for proper functionality.
