1 DOCUMENT OVERVIEW
This document describes the physical installation and basic configuration of the
Location Sensor product. The site design is detailed in the D0406 Location Sensor
Placement Guide.
2 PRODUCT DESCRIPTION AND FEATURES
The Location Sensor receives the signals transmitted by the WhereTags, which are
attached to the tracked assets. The decoded tag information is time stamped and
routed to a PC for additional processing. The locate algorithm running on the PC
calculates the tag position based on the time stamps of multiple Location Sensors,
and reports that position to the database where it is displayed by Resource
Manager.
There are two separate Location Sensor models:
• LOS-4100 (802.3 Wired Ethernet)
• LAP-4200 (with 802.11b Wireless LAN Access Point, also known as a
Locating Access Point)
The difference between the two models is that the LAP-4200 contains an Access
Point, while the LOS-4100 does not. These units are identical in appearance; the
___________________________________________________________________________ 6

Infrastructure Installation Guide
only way to distinguish them is by the model number on the housing. Note that
both units have a wired Ethernet port; the LAP-4200 has a can function as either a
client bridge or an access point.
Both units also include a low power transmitter which is used to distribute
configuration data, and timing signals to other Location Sensor units. This
transmitter has the same transmitter characteristics as a tag.
Features include:
• Outdoor weatherproof housing
• Wireless data transport capability
• Wireless Timing capability
There are three separate antenna options for the Location Sensor. In addition,
there is an optional high gain Wireless LAN Access Point directional antenna for
installati ons in which the standard antennas do not proved the range required to
communicate with the base access point. The available antennas are listed in
section 4 below.

Infrastructure Installation Guide
Both of these units are configured using:
• LPManager software via Ethernet (preferred),
• Telnet via Ethernet, or
• Hyperterminal (or any terminal emulation software) via serial port
For the LAP-4200, both the Location Sensor and the embedded Access Point must
be independently configured. That is, both units must have their IP addresses
correctly specified. The communication connection can be switched between the
Location Sensor and the Access Point by typing ctrl-w.
5.1 Location Sensor Configuration
Location Sensors communicate over an Ethernet interface using TCP/IP. Each
Location sensor must be configured with a unique IP address. The IP address of
each LS must be recoded and entered into the WhereNet site file, which contains
the configuration information for each LS, including its location.
Each Location Sensor is shipped with a label set containing one label (Figure 9)
with the bar coded MAC address of the Location Sensor (and of the Access Point
if so equipped) and three labels with the last six characters of the Location
Sensor’s MAC address in large type. Ensure that the label is correct by matching
the MAC address(es) on the loose label set with the MAC address(es) listed on the
back of the Location Sensor. Place the loose bar code label in the site design

8 MOUNTING OVERVIEW
The site design specifies the location of the Location Sensor(s) to provide
optimum system performance. It is critical that the Location Sensor is mounted in
a position which provides good RF visibility to the tracked assets. Thus the
Location Sensor must be mounted exactly in the position specified in the site
design document.
Failure to mount the Location Sensor in the exact position specified in the site
design will result in erroneous or non-locates of the tracked assets.

The Location Sensor can be mounted to a wall using the integral keyhole mounting
slots. An attachment hole is also provided to accept a 3/8 in (10 mm) threaded
rod. A pole mount hardware kit is available separately.
8.1 Wall Mount
The Location Sensor may be mounted directly against a non-metallic wall using
the standard AK-210 All Weather Omni-directional antennas. For a metallic wall,
Location Sensor must be mounted 12 inches (305 mm) away from the wall for the
antennas to operate properly. Alternately, the AK-120 Flat Panel antennas may
utilized as they may be mounted directly to a metallic wall.
The Location Sensor can be mounted to a wall using the four key hole mounting
slots per the following instructions:
• Determine the preferred screw/ anchor type (not supplied) for the particular
wall material. The Location Sensor requires a #6 or 3.5 mm mounting
screw.
• Mark and drill holes in the wall to match the keyholes on the Location
Sensor (Figure 10).
• Mount the Location Sensor and securely tighten the screws.

9.1 Power
The customer must provide 120 Vac power to the specified Location Sensor
position. The Location Sensor utilizes an external power supply to convert 120
Vac to the required +18 to 36 Vdc. The recommended power supply has a 6 foot
(2 m) AC cable and a 6 foot (2 m) dc cable. The electrician should verify that the
AC power is available within 3 feet (1 m) of the position of the Location Sensor.

___________________________________________________________________________
_____________
____________
Infrastructure Installation Guide
This allows a 9 foot (3 m) “service loop” margin if the Location Sensor position
must be readjusted after the AC power is installed.
For outdoor installations the power supply must be installed within a suitable
waterproof housing. Follow local and national building codes.
_____________
9.2 Timing
______________
For most indoor and some outdoor applications the Location Sensor requires at
least one timing cable to be connected to other nearby Location Sensor units. The
site design document will specify which Location Sensors will be connected
together. Each of the three timing ports on the Location Sensor is an identical bidirectional link. The cable and connector types are specified in section 4 above.
For a reliable system operation, the jacket of the timing cable must be
securely crimped inside the RJH connector. Standard eight conductor cat 5
cable is too large for crimping in the 4 wire connector; the recommended 4
wire cable must be utilized to ensure a proper crimp.
___________________________________________________________________________ 24
Location Sensor Installation Guide D0405 rev PA6

___________________________________________________________________________
____________
Infrastructure Installation Guide
The following rules must be applied when connecting timing cables between the
Location Sensors:
• Do not connect the timing cable from one Location Sensor back to the
same Location Sensor.
• Do not connect two timing cables between the same two Location Sensors.
• The maximum timing cable length is 1000 feet (310 m).
Install the Location Sensor timing cables from one unit to the next, as specified in
the site design document, using the specified 2 pair Cat 3 cable and RJH
______________
(telephone handset) connectors.
Incorrect routing of the timing cables between the Location Sensors may
result in decreased location accuracy.
9.3 Ethernet
The Location Sensor utilizes standard 10/100 802.3 Ethernet connectivity via cat 5
cables. The Location Sensor must be wired to a nearby hub, which is in turn
connected to the network containing the database cpu. The maximum Ethernet
cable run is 328 feet (100 m). If additional distance is required, hubs, repeaters,
and fiber (with 10baseT converters) can be used to extend the distance. Refer to
IEEE guidelines for Ethernet cabling.

Do not exceed the maximum Ethernet cabling length of 328 ft (100 m).
9.4 Access Point Antenna Cabling (Optional)
In many installations, the Access Point antenna must have omni directional RF
coverage to support communication from nearby 802.11 wireless terminals. Thus,
in the standard configuration the Access Point shares the same antennas as the
Location Sensor.
However, in some installations the distance between the Location Sensor and the
receiving Access Point is beyond the maximum **TBD** range supported by the
omni directional antennas. In that case the optional high gain antenna must be
utilized to permit the embedded Access Point to communicate with the receiving
Access Point. The high gain Access Point antenna will increase the
communication range to approximately 2000 feet (620 m) (US Only), at a bit rate
of 1 MB/s, when used in conjunction with a receiving omni directional antenna.
The range in Europe will be less due to regulatory output power restrictions.
