2 – Overview
Trellix is an on-premise smart lighting IoT platform that moves real-time monitoring and processing to the edge of the network. The
Trellix platform accelerates insight around your building operations and business processes, unlocking efficiency and enabling more
effective decision-making with apps from Trellix and our partners.
The platform manages the trellis of digital sensors embedded in your connected LED lighting, collects the data gathered by the
sensors, and analyzes the data to provide meaningful insights to users.
This on-premise platform hosts Trellix Core Services, a set of microservices required for fully functional IoT solutions; Trellix Sense, a
set of interfaces to allow data exchange with third-party apps; and Trellix Apps, a set of Cooper-developed Apps designed to serve
connected buildings and sport facilities.
2.1 – System Components
The components of a Trellix system are described below.
Component
Description
Trellix Core Services
A set of microservices required for fully functional IoT solutions which facilitates device
communication, device management, data upload, data aggregation and storage, data
interfaces as well as robust user and device authentication and authorization.
Trellix Exchange
A set of REST APIs that enable third-party applications to unlock the value of the data being
gathered by Cooper’s connected lighting system.
Trellix Admin
The Admin application lets users perform the administrative tasks required to manage the
Trellix Core services such as: enabling/disabling interfaces; creating/editing/deleting users
and roles; backing up and restoring configuration databases; and upgrading the platform.
Trellix Lighting
The Lighting application lets users configure and monitor a code-compliant connected
lighting system designed to create an energy-efficient space. With this application, you can
perform high level supervisory tasks such as making changes to the light levels, creating
lighting schedules and viewing your lighting system’s energy usage. It is also the foundation
for the sensing network and other advanced applications that leverage the data gathered by
the system.

Description
Trellix Locate
The Locate application lets users monitor the location of objects or people in real time within
a building or other contained area.
NOTE
The use of the Locate application covered in the Trellix Locate User Manual and Trellix Locate
API Reference. Please refer to those documents for further details.
2.2 – Web Interface
Trellix Lighting is accessed with a Web browser on a desktop that is connected to the LCS network. A desktop view of a Device Details
on the Buildings page is shown below.
2.3 – Key Features
The key facility management features available in Trellix, grouped as they appear in the user interface shown above, are described
below.
Feature
Description
The app menu lets you switch between the Admin, Lighting, and (optionally) Locate apps.
Alarms
Monitor active alarms to see the health of your WaveLinx/iLumin system and quickly address issues.
Troubleshooting tips, aggregated from Cooper’s insight into its lighting systems, are provided. Alarms
can also be emailed.
Operate
Monitor and control the lighting system with a floorplan or using the building hierarchy. A facility
manager can control the light levels of a Floor, Area, Zone, or single light fixture. The floorplan can
also indicate the status of a Device or an Area (e.g., light on/off, or faulty).

2.4 – Trellix Admin: System and User Management
The Admin application lets users perform the administrative tasks required to manage the Trellix Core services, such as: enabling and
disabling interfaces; creating, editing and deleting users and roles; backing up and restoring configuration databases; and upgrading
the platform:
• Users lets the system administrator create, edit, and delete users, create custom roles, and associate roles and areas of
responsibility with each user.
• Published API lets system integrators integrate networked WaveLinx WACs with other enterprise systems using the Cooper REST
API. Please refer to the Trellix Lighting API Reference for details.
