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

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.
