AeroScout T2 Tag User Guide Introduction 6 Introduction The AeroScout T7a Tag is a key component of the AeroScout Infant Security System, an effective and reliable Wi-Fi-based solution to guard against the threat of infant abduction from hospitals. The T7a Tag is a small form factor Wi-Fi RFID device that is designed to attach to infant's umbilical stub and to help prevent infant abductions by alerting when the infant is carried close to an exit door. In addition, with the T7a Tag infants can be accurately located in real-time and in any environment – from tight indoor locations such as hospital floors to open outdoor spaces such as parking lots. Each infant wears a small form factor T7a which is attached to its umbilical cord clamp. The MyChild system computer console displays floor plans of the facility, showing monitored areas and protected exits. Should an attempt to leave the monitored area with a protected child occur without authorization, the MiChild system will immediately set off an alarm, activate magnetic door locks and hold selected elevators. T7a Tag messages are received and processed by standard Wi-Fi access points as well as AeroScout Location Receivers, keeping infrastructure costs low and installation simple. As with all AeroScout tags, location determination is performed through a unique beaconing method that keeps network impact low and ensures scalability and long battery life. Figure 1: T7a Tag T7 Tag Features Wi-Fi Compatibility T7a Tags use any standard Wi-Fi network infrastructure, keeping costs low and making deployments simple and fast. AeroScout tags are 802.11b compatible. The
AeroScout T2 Tag User Guide T7 Tag Features 7 tag’s clear channel sensing techniques avoid interference with Wi-Fi networks. The use of the unlicensed 2.4GHz frequency band at low power levels ensures no interference with other wireless equipment, making AeroScout tags safe for use with such sensitive equipment as medical devices in a hospital. Smart and Simple Activation To prevent battery drainage and extend battery life as much as possible, tags leave the factory in Dormant mode. Using AeroScout Exciters, T7a Tags are activated automatically when entering the Labor & Delivery unit. As result battery life can be extended and the tags provide instant notification and protection prior to the enrollment. T7a Tag can also be easily deactivated in order to conserve battery power. Power Management The T7a Tag's rechargeable battery can provide power for an operating period of up to 30 days before a recharge is needed. The tag periodically provides a report on the battery level so that when the battery level runs low, it can be recharged efficiently with minimum down time. AeroScout tags also include a smart mechanism that records the tag activity and forms a profile of the tag's behavior. Based on those statistics, the system constantly delivers the updated battery's capacity level the estimated battery life expectancy. Battery Life Prediction and Analysis AeroScout Tags are configured with counters that retain the number of times a tag undergoes different events such as the number of transmissions or the number of LF triggers, thus forming a profile of the tag's behavior. Based on those statistics, the system constantly delivers updated estimates of the battery life expectancy and the tag's behavior can be analyzed. Battery Stretch AeroScout Tags are designed to stretch the battery life when it reaches low level in order to prevent the tag from dying before the battery is replaced. When a tag's battery reaches Low level, the tag will temporarily modify its configurations to transmit in intervals of one second between each channel and one second between repetitions. The original configurations will be restored once the battery is replaced with a new one. It is recommended to change the batteries as soon as they reach Low level. Motion Sensing AeroScout T7a Tags contain on-board motion sensors. The motion sensor can be configured to trigger alerts. It also enables different transmission intervals for tags
AeroScout T2 Tag User Guide T7 Tag Features 8 when they are stationary or in motion – which reduces unnecessary network traffic and conserves battery life. Tag Management The T7 Tag can be programmed via a wireless interface using the AeroScout Tag Activator. Together with the AeroScout Tag Manager software it allows for easy and efficient Tag configuration, activation or deactivation and programming. Tag Programmability and Storage The T7 Tag can store up to 15 messages of 15 bytes each. These messages can either be pre-programmed via the Tag Manager or programmed on the fly by an AeroScout Exciter when a tag is in proximity to it. These messages can also be transmitted in addition to the standard location messages (the tags can be either configured to transmit one of the messages or triggered by an AeroScout Exciter to transmit a specific message). Active RFID Functionality Using the AeroScout Exciter, the tag sends out specific location reports upon arrival at chokepoints or gateways. The tag behavior can also be automatically modified while passing through a chokepoint such as a doorway or gate. This includes activating/deactivating tags or changing the tags’ transmission rate to accommodate different usage patterns. Compatibility and Non-interference AeroScout Tags are 802.11b compatible. The tag’s clear channel sensing techniques avoid interference with Wi-Fi networks. The use of the unlicensed 2.4GHz frequency band at low power levels ensures no interference with other wireless equipment, making AeroScout tags safe for use with such sensitive equipment as medical devices in a hospital. Rugged Performance AeroScout Tags are designed to function in harsh work environments and weather conditions. The T7 Tag enclosure is water-resistant (IP-67) and designed to withstand significant physical shocks.
AeroScout T2 Tag User Guide Tag Mounting 9 Tag Mounting The AeroScout T7a Tag is enclosed in a compact case and designed to attach to infant's umbilical stub. Figure 2:Umbilical Tag with the Clamp Tag Management The AeroScout T7 Tag can be configured, programmed and activated via a wireless interface. This is done with the help of the AeroScout Tag Manager application and the AeroScout Tag Activator. In addition, Tag Manager is used to activate and deactivate tags and to program stored messages on the tags. The Tag Manager functions can also be activated via APIs that enable easy integration with third-party applications.
