To maintain AP performance at its best, consider the following select the location.

 Do not install nearby industrial equipment including transformer, microwave,

refrigerator, etc.(keep apart more than 5m)

 Metal, concrete, wall, etc. blocks communication so signals may be lost.
 The ideal installation height is 3m(10ft.) from the ground.
 Have the antenna face the ceiling to improve reception.
 Place AP as close to Tag as possible.
 When aligning two or more AP‟s, give enough space between the space and

the AP to raise efficiency.

<Inappropriate AP Location>

<Appropriate AP Location>

Antenna Port

2.2 APInstallation

① Ceiling Installation

When installing at ceiling, place in open place rather than in closed space,
and keep 3m or more away from the ground if possible.Also, organize the
cables to not interrupt passengers

 Check if the antenna is installed at AP.

 Place AP in the space Tagis installed so everyone can see it well.
 Connect the cable if installation is completed.

② Wall Installation

For wall installation, fix the Wall Bracket on a wall and assemble it with the
hole on the bottom of the AP.
To install AP on a wall,

 Make sure an antenna is installed.
 Fix the Wall Bracket on a wall and attach the AP to the Bracketto fix it.

 In case you do not use the Wall Bracket, get rid of the TOP case of theAP

and use the hole on the bottom to fix on a wall.

<Hole for Fixing AP>

<TOP Case Removal>

 Fix the AP and place the TOP case.

Power Jack

Ethernet Cable

2.3 APCable Connection

① Ethernet Cable Connection

Use an ethernet cable to connect the router and AP.

<Using DC Adaptor>

② Power Cable Connection

When using power adaptor to supply power, use the provided adaptor to connect
to the power port.

You may use a DC adaptor or a PoE injector for AP power.If it is not easy to use
AC power where AP is to be installed, you may use aPoEinjector or PoE switch
hub to supply power only with an ethernet cable. Yet, be careful the length of the
ethernet cable does not exceed 100M.

Connect to LAN

Data

Power

PoE Injector

The following is how to connect PoEinjector with the AP.

① Connect the injector power code to the AC socket.
② You can find Data In(LAN) portand Data Out(POE) port on the injector.
③ Use an ethernet cable to connect the router to Data In(LAN).
④ Connect Data Out(PoE) port to AP.

2.4 APFunction Check

You can check the AP status from the 4 LED‟s on the front side.

 Red LED

LED is turned on when power is supplied.

 Green LED

LED is turned on when connected to network.

 Yellow LED

LEDflickers on when communicating with network.

 Blue LED / Red LED

Blue LED flickers when AP normally works.
Red LED flickers when an error occurs.

2.5 AP Registration

Log in to ESL client and move toAP Management page.

AP must be connected to the router. Without additional setting, the AP is
voluntarily allocated with an IP via the DHCP of the router.

① Enter the startIPand finishIP.
② Click on [AP Discovery] to search AP.
③ Check the Status is online after AP is found.

3. TAGInstallation and Registration

Consider the following when installing TAG.

 Do not install nearby industrial equipment including transformer, microwave,

refrigerator, etc. (keep apart more than 5m)

 Metal, concrete, wall, etc. blocks communication so signals may be lost.
 If the battery is separately delivered without being installed, make sure

batteries are not in contact with each other. (A fire may break out due to
damage of the battery or high temperature.)

 Fix the TAG so it does not fall off.

(It may be damaged when fallen.)

 If you use a metal tool when separating the battery, the (+) and (-) of the

battery may be shorted, temporarily consumed to a great amount.

3.1 TAG Installation

① Open the cover of TAG backside and insert theCoin battery.

The battery isCR2450 type.

② About 30 seconds after TAG is turned on,see if the barcode below is made.

 You will find no change on the screen if the

APorESLServer is not under operation.In this case, check

the status of AP and ifESLServer is being launched.

 The battery is consumed fast when the server or AP

connection is lost, so keep the it connected.

③ Tag Management page after Log in to ESL Client and then move to Tag

Management page.
Find the TAG with Serial Number“0007FD8832D”.

4. Remote Control Usage

The remote control is used for tag reset and shut down.

The tag is reset when the bottom right of the tag and the upper part of the remote-

control backside is in touch.

The tag flickers several times and displays the price and barcode display received from
AP.

(붉은 색으로 표기된 부분을 서로 터치)

Contact the remote control to the tag and press the remote control button every

second.

The button functions as following

△ –Tag S/Nbarcode check button
▽ –Tag shutdown button(when you don‟t want to use the tag)

When the button is pressed, the LED color indicates the following.

LED RED –Turned on when button is pressed.
LED BLUE –Turned on when the remote control is communicated with the tag.
