The EX5100 extends the AeroScout suite to provide robust and sophisticated RFID detection capabilities, using the same AeroScout tags that can also be accurately located in real time by the AeroScout system. The EX5100 triggers AeroScout’s tags as they pass through a choke point or when they are located near the Exciter and the tags in turn transmit Wi-Fi message to Internal Receiver or compatible Access Points in range. The Exciter can activate/deactivate the tags, program the tags or even cause tag reaction such as blinking. This provides instant acknowledgment that a tagged asset passed through a gate, doorway or some other well-defined area. The EX5100 Exciter has built in Wi-Fi receiver which enables it to receive AeroScout tag messages. The Exciter also has an embedded Wi-Fi transmitter which is utilized by the Exciter for self-health monitoring. These capabilities make the Exciter ideal for security applications. The detection capabilities of the EX5100, combined with the location features of the AeroScout Visibility System, make the AeroScout suite the most sophisticated enterprise visibility solution for a wide variety of industries. Figure 1: EX5100 positioned at choke point triggering a tag Introduction AeroScout EX5100 Exciter Application and Industry Examples High value asset tracking Health care facilities and general enterprises can tag valuable assets that are intended to stay within a certain area. The AeroScout system can track the location of those assets, and if they leave through an exit or enter a restricted area, the EX5100 triggers a tag message. Process control Manufacturing and supply chain facilities can track the location and presence of equipment and in-process inventory as it moves through the production process. This gives an enterprise a real-time view of which (and how many) assets have passed each step in the process, enabling better supply chain management. Inventory management Logistics and manufacturing enterprises can automatically update inventory records as inventory enters and leaves the warehouse, ensuring real-time knowledge of levels without manual checks or physical scanning. Security applications Government agencies and enterprises can tag secure assets and people that are restricted to certain areas or require historical location tracking. If those assets leave through an exit or enter a restricted area, EX5100 triggers a tag message. EX5100 Features RFID detection of AeroScout Tags Triggering the tags to transmit as they pass through a defined area, EX5100s reach up to a 6.5 meters (21.3 ft) range, enough to cover typical door or gate areas. EX5100s can also be chained one to another, thus increasing the RFID detection range for accommodating even very large areas. Note The exciters’ effective range, based on specific environment and placement, may be less than the configured range. The effective range should be taken into consideration when planning and designing the deployment. Application and Industry Examples AeroScout EX5100 Exciter Tag behavior modification: The EX5100 can wirelessly active and deactivate tags. Tag battery life can be extended further by switching the tags off when they leave a defined tracking area through a gate or doorway. It is also possible to configure the Exciter to change of tag transmission rate temporarily or indefinitely to accommodate different usage patterns in various physical spaces. Message Programming functions The EX5100 has the ability to store messages on the tag for later transmission. Message transmission can later be triggered by other EX5100s, enabling sophisticated process control functions. EX5100 can trigger a tag to: transmit up to 15 bytes of data sent to it by the EX5100; transmit one of 15 pre-stored messages; transmit and store up to 15 bytes of data sent to it by the EX5100. Network connectivity Enables remote programming, monitoring and software updates by the AeroScout Engine. In addition, the EX5100 can work in offline mode disconnected from the network, thus eliminating the need for a physical network feed. In this mode, remote configuration and monitoring is not enabled. EX5100 Hardware The AeroScout EX5100 includes the following components: 125 KHz LF Tx Bidirectional Wi-Fi module with only the receiver enabled Wi-Fi transmitter (T2 Tag) which is used by the exciter for health management.

Blinking Green LED (according to transmission interval) indicates that the EX5100 is transmitting LF (Low Frequency) signals. Green LED constantly lit when the unit is connected to a power source. Orange LED represents Link (LAN Connection) Connectors Panel Figure 4 displays the EX5100 connector panel. Figure 4: AeroScout EX5100 Connectors EX5100 Hardware AeroScout EX5100 Exciter 1. Ethernet LAN Connection – RJ-45 interface. In a configuration that uses a physical Ethernet cable connection to the LAN, the network cable is attached here. Permanent connection to a wired network is not mandatory. However you must have a wired connection for configuring the Exciter. In addition, some of the monitoring functions will not be available if the Exciter is not wired. This connection is also used for Power over Ethernet (PoE, 802.3af). 2. Power jack – Accepts an input voltage of 48V DC. This is a standard 2.5mm jack connector for direct power supply. Alternatively, you can use the power supply that is packaged along with the Exciter. When PoE is used, this connection is not used. 3. Chain IN Connector – RJ-45 connector. This connector is used for receiving power from chained Exciters. 4. Chain OUT and Control Connector – RJ-45 connector. This connector is used for distributing power to chained Exciters. The output voltage is 12V DC (0.5A maximum). 5. Auxiliary connector – Designed for connecting an External Speaker unit. WARNING: The auxiliary connection is for connecting an External Speaker unit only. Connecting other devices or a POE connection to the auxiliary input may harm the Exciter. 6. Termination Switch – For defining termination settings in a chained Exciters installation. The default factory setting is Termination On (o-o). In chained Exciters installations, the termination of the first and last Exciters in the chain should be set to On (o-o) and the rest should be set to Off (-o-o-). 7. IP Reset Switch: Restores the device’s IP address to the company default. EX5100 Hardware AeroScout EX5100 Exciter Connecting the EX5100 to the Network and Power Source The following is a brief summary of available powering and networking options: Usage option Description Single EX5100 – not connect ed to network EX5100s can be used as standalone devices that function independently without any network connection. In this case, you need to connect the EX5100 to the power supply only. Using System Manager, set the control switch to EXT, and set the unit to be “not connected to the network". Single EX5100 – connect ed to network EX5100s can be remotely controlled (for configuration and monitoring purposes) through the local area network. In this case, you need to connect it to both a power source and the network. AeroScout EX5100s also support power-over-Ethernet (PoE), which supply both power and network services via a single connection. Set the control switch to EXT. Connecting the EX5100 to the Network and Power Source 10 AeroScout EX5100 Exciter Usage option Chained EX5100 s – not connect ed to network Description EX5100s can be connected to each other in a chain and receive the power/data from one master EX5100 in the chain. This configuration does not require any network connectivity. Up to 8 EX5100s can be connected in a chain. Up to 3 EX5100s can use the same power source (depending on the source’s power). See Direct Power Supply Directly connect a 48VDC power source to the Exciter’s power jack (connector 2 in Error! Reference source not found.). Note An Exciter requires approximately 10W of power. When connecting an Exciter to a direct power source with one of the above voltage levels, verify that the current level is sufficient. When using a direct power source for chained Exciters, you can drive power to no more than three Exciters sequentially even if the source power is sufficient for more. Unit shall be powered only by limited power source (marked LPS or NEC class 2) power supply. PoE Switch If your network has a Power-over-Ethernet infrastructure, you can connect a CAT-5 Ethernet cable from the PoE switch to the Exciter’s LAN connector (connector 1 in Error! Reference source not found.). This supplies both the power and the network connection. Note PoE standard 802.3af class 0 allows power for not more than one Exciter. When using PoE with chained Exciters, a PoE connection must be made to every single Exciter in the chain. In addition, the LAN connectivity that the PoE supplies will not be utilized for slave Exciters in a chain. 110/220 VAC to 48VDC PoE Single-Port Injector The PoE Single Port Injector converts 110/220VAC to 48VDC. In addition, it can receive a network connection and enable the installer to run a single cable to the Exciter’s LAN connector, thus supplying both power and network connectivity. When using this injector, the power jack of the Exciter will not be used. Chaining Exciters 11 AeroScout EX5100 Exciter Direct Power Supply Directly connect a 48VDC power source to the Exciter’s power jack (connector 2 in Error! Reference source not found.).

In addition, the LAN connectivity that the PoE supplies will not be utilized for slave Exciters in a chain. 110/220 VAC to 48VDC PoE Single-Port Injector The PoE Single Port Injector converts 110/220VAC to 48VDC. In addition, it can receive a network connection and enable the installer to run a single cable to the Exciter’s LAN connector, thus supplying both power and network connectivity. Chaining Exciters 12 AeroScout EX5100 Exciter When using this injector, the power jack of the Exciter will not be used. Figure 5: Single-Port Injector The injector’s IN connector is connected to the network. The injector’s OUT connector is connected to the Exciter’s LAN connector (connector 1 in Error! Reference source not found.). The injector can be used for both networked and non-networked Exciters. In case of a non-networked Exciter, the IN connector on the injector is not used. Note An injector can provide enough power for one Exciter only. When using the injector with chained Exciters, an injector must be connected to every single Exciter in the chain. In addition, the LAN connectivity that the injector supplies, is not to be utilized for slave Exciters in a chain. 110VAC/220VAC to 48VDC Power Supply Adaptors These adaptors convert 110VAC or 220VAC inputs to 48VDC Chaining Exciters 13 AeroScout EX5100 Exciter Figure 6: 110VAC to 48VDC or 220VAC to 48VDC Adaptor The adaptor is connected to the Exciter’s power jack). The network should be connected separately to the Exciter’s LAN connector (connector 1 in Error! Reference source not found.). This adaptor is most common for chained Exciters. It can be used for supplying power to up to three Exciters. Power Connection Summary The following table summarizes the power connection options: Power supply Input Output Maximum Current Available Power Maximum # of Exciters with one source POE single port injector 100-240V AC 50-60Hz 48VDC 0.32A(1) 15.4W Standard POE 802.3af switch port(2) 48VDC 0.32A(1) 15.4W External power source 48VDC >1A >48W 3(3) Note Cable losses are included assuming cables are less than 100m long. The POE class should be 0. The Exciter port cannot support power required by more than three Exciters. Chaining Exciters 14 AeroScout EX5100 Exciter Chaining Exciters In an area where the required LF coverage exceeds the capacity of one Exciter, you can chain several Exciters, thus extending the coverage area. For example, a large entrance gate for trucks and heavy equipment that is 10m wide might require three Exciters chained to one another. The chained EX5100s will be treated by the system as a single entity and as a single Exciter with a single ID covering a larger area. Transmissions will not interfere with one another. The EX5100s’ transmission ranges and physical positions should be set in a manner that will allow overlapping between neighboring EX5100s’ coverage areas. Figure 7 illustrates chained EX5100s and shows the connections. Figure 7: EX5100 chaining Chain Connection Up to 8 EX5100s can be connected to each other in a chain, as follows: 6. The first Exciter in the chain that is directly connected to the LAN is called the “master”. The others are called “slave”. Any EX5100 can be a master or slave. 7. The master is connected to the next slave from the master’s OUT connector (connector 4 in Figure 4) to the slave’s IN connector (connector 3 in Figure 4). 8. A slave is connected to the next slave in the same manner (from OUT to the next slave’s IN). Chaining Exciters 15 AeroScout EX5100 Exciter 9. The Termination Switch (item 5 in Figure 4) of the master and the last slave in the chain should be set to On (o-o). On the other slaves, it should be set to Off ( -o o-). 10. The Master/Slave configuration is done using System Manager 4.3 or higher. If you are using an older version of System Manager, the master-slave configuration is done using the Slave Exciter Configuration Tool (SECT). See Appendix A. Slave Exciter Configuration Tool. The slaves will inherit the master's ID and its LF configurations aside from the transmission range. Figure 8: Slave configuration in System Manager Chaining Exciters 16 AeroScout EX5100 Exciter Chaining an EX3210 Exciter To connect the EX3210 Exciter to the EX5100 Exciter, follow these steps: 1. The EX5100 Exciter in the chain that’s directly connected to the PoE/LAN is called the “master”. The EX3210 Exciter is also a “master”. Each Exciter has its own ID. 2. Configure the EX3210 Exciter as not connected to the network. 3. Connect the EX3210 Exciter to the Chain Out connector of the EX5100 Exciter. Power Connection Considerations As mentioned earlier, an external power supply or AC/DC adaptor can support up to three chained Exciters, and a PoE connection can support one Exciter. In order to chain more Exciters than the currently connected power supply can feed, an additional power supply element can be added using a junction box. Figure 9: Junction box 1. Connect the junction box to its power supply. 2. Connect the last of the currently connected slave’s OUT to the junction box’s IN. 3. Connect the junction box’s OUT to the next slave’s IN. 4. Connect subsequent slaves to each other as explained above. If necessary, you can use more than one junction box to supply more power along the chain. Chaining Exciters 17 AeroScout EX5100 Exciter Resetting the EX5100 You can reset the EX5100’s IP address to the factory defaults by pressing the IP Reset button using a thin, pin-like object. The Reset button is located on the LAN side of EX5100. The default IP address is 192.168.1.178. After a successful IP reset the red LED will lit for two seconds. Figure 10: IP Reset button Exciter Configuration Exciters are configured using the AeroScout System Manager or MSE. The configuration settings consist of device installation and network definitions. Configuring the Exciter via System Manager The configuration procedure involves the following steps: 1. Connect all Exciters with a wired Ethernet connection to a dedicated segment. 2. Add the Exciters with the AeroScout System Manager, configure their parameters and define their IP settings (The preconfigured IP is supplied per Exciter). If you wish to later change the IP settings (IP, subnet, gateway or ports) you can do so by right-clicking on the Exciter and selecting IP Settings. 3. Check that the Exciter’s status is OK by right clicking on the Exciter icon and selecting Status. Also verify in the status window that the firmware versions (DSP and Second Boot) are compatible with the current installed Engine version Resetting the EX5100 18 AeroScout EX5100 Exciter and Exciter hardware version. Consult AeroScout Support regarding the appropriate firmware versions. 4. Position the Exciter in the site according to site survey recommendations, and mount it. 5. Align the Exciters’ positions according to the required area coverage. 6. If you wish to define the Exciter as an offline Exciter not connected to the network, you should approve the above configuration, wait for a confirmation, define the Exciter as disconnected from network from the Properties window, approve the settings again and disconnect the Exciter from the network.
