1 DOCUMENT OVERVIEW

This document describes the basic configuration and recommendations on physical installation of the Location Sensor product. The site design and placement is detailed in the Location Sensor Placement Guide D0406 and WhereLAN III Installation Guide D1677.

2 PRODUCT DESCRIPTION AND FEATURES

The WHERELAN III is the next generation of WhereLAN product that receives the signals transmitted by WhereTags (ISO 24730-2), which are attached to the tracked assets. The WHERELAN III has improved performance and uses less power than the previous, WhereLAN Location Sensor. The received tag blinks are decoded, time stamped, and routed to a PC or ZLA (Zebra Location Appliance) for additional processing. The locate algorithm running on the PC or ZLA 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 three base WhereLAN III configurations:

• LOS-5000-00AA(Wired Ethernet, POE 802.3af compliant)

• LOS-5000-00AB (with 802.11b/g Wireless LAN Client, POE 802.3af

Compliant)

• LOS-5000-01AA (no embedded transmissions, Wired Ethernet, POE

802.3AF Compliant)

Both the LOS-5000-00AA and LOS-5000-00AB configurations also include a low power an embedded transmitter, which complies with the ISO 24730-2

standard, is used to distribute configuration data, health, and timing signals to other Location Sensor units. The embedded transmitter uses channels, both left and right, for transmit and receive, which is not compatible with the legacy LOS/LAP 4000 series WhereLAN products. However by default the WHERELAN III will be shipped in G2 emulation mode, and in site launch with system builder the user will be able to select full WHERELAN III mode to take advantage enhanced features, if not being used to replace WhereLAN infrastructure. Note: The

LOS-5000-01AA has this embedded transmitter function disabled.

5 CONFIGURATION & CONTROL

5.1 Location Sensor Self Boot

Upon power up, the Location Sensor executes a self boot process. The boot process takes between 45 to 60 seconds. If a fault occurs during the boot process, the unit may reset and restart the boot process. During that process, the four LEDs blink in a sequence to indicate the current stage of the power up boot process. Once the boot process is complete, the LEDs revert to their standard functions indicating power/health, tag status, Ethernet, and WLAN.

5.2 Location Sensor Interface

After the Location Sensor has completed its boot process, it is possible to communicate with the unit via the following methods.
