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.

WhereLAN III User’s Guide

Do not attempt to communicate with the Location Sensor until it has
completed the first stage of the boot process (i.e., left LED is solid). Doing
so will stop the boot process. The unit must be reset to clear this
condition.

These units are configured using:

• Telnet/SSH via Ethernet (preferred)

• iSensor (Sensor Analyzer)

• WhereWand

• Hyperterminal (or any terminal emulation software) via serial port

Telnet/SSH is the preferred method of communicating with the Location
Sensor, once installed. Use the HyperTerminal is for initial set-up before
being installed on a network for setting static Ip addresses, if DHCP is not
used.

during the first stage of the boot process, or if visibility to the boot process is
needed for debugging installation problems.

5.3 Location Sensor MAC/ IP Address Configuration

Location Sensors communicate over an Ethernet interface using TCP/IP. For
the LOS-5000-00AB, both the Location Sensor and the embedded Client Card
must be independently configured with their own unique IP addresses. The IP
address of each LS must be recorded and entered into the ZES site file, which
contains the configuration information for each LS, including its location, and
MAC address.

Failure to configure the Location Sensor prior to operation may result in
an inoperative unit.

Each Location Sensor is shipped with a label set containing one label (Figure

1) with the bar coded MAC address of the Location Sensor and Wifi Client

8.1 Timing Cable Interconnection Guidelines

For some applications the Location Sensor requires a timing cable to be
connected to other nearby Location Sensor units. The site design document,
provided by the site designer, will specify which Location Sensors will be
connected together. Each of the three timing ports on the Location Sensor is
an identical bi-directional link. The cable and connector types are specified in
section 4 above.

The following rules must be applied when connecting timing cables between
the Location Sensors:

____________
Note

____________

____________
Note

____________

• 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 (305 m).

Do not exceed the maximum timing cabling length of 1000 ft (305 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 or 4 pair*
