Ekahau T301 Wi-Fi tag USER GUIDE For real-time asset and people tracking 1 INTRODUCTION 1.1 Introduction to T301-A The Ekahau T301-A Wi-Fi tag is part of Ekahau RTLS (Real-Time Location System) that consists of the T301-A tag, Ekahau Positioning Engine 4 (EPE) software platform and Finder and Tracker end-user applications. The T301-A tags can be attached to any mobile object or asset, and can be carried by people as well. The Ekahau Positioning Engine software continuously reports the tag coordinates and logical areas within the Wi-Fi coverage area both indoors and outdoors. 1.2 Firmware release level This user guide documents the tag firmware release level 1.0. Minor updates are documented in release notes delivered with the firmware release. 1.3 Features of T301-A The T301-A Prototype provides the following functionality: Is compatible with standard 802.11b and 802.11g Wi-Fi networks Support for 40 or 104-bit WEP key authentication Static and dynamic IP addressing Two configurable buttons for managing the tag and use as call buttons. Location reporting triggered by buttons and periodic timer Two status indication LEDs for determining the tag status Configuration using Ekahau Activator T301, standalone tag configuration software Wireless configuration using Ekahau Positioning Engine. EKAHAU T301-A USER GUIDE 2 CHAPTER 1: TAG OPERATION 2.1 User Interface WHITE Button Identification sticker (not in prototypes). BLUE Button Upper and lower status indication LEDs (red/green/orange) 2.2 Activating the tag When delivered the tag uses factory defaults and is ready to be used. Before using the tag needs to have environment specific parameters installed to the tag. The configuration or activation is done using Ekahau Activator T301 software that configures Ekahau T301-A tags wirelessly. See more information on the Activator software from its specific User Guide. When the tag has been activated it connects to the network when the first scanning is activated by its internal timer. After successful EKAHAU T301-A USER GUIDE Activation you see the MAC address of the tag appears on the Ekahau Positioning Engine list of tags. The tag will now automatically wake up scan and send results to Ekahau Positioning Engine using the configured wakeup interval. On scan, association to the network and sending results the lower LED lights red and the upper LED blinks green twice. 2.3 Button scan The tag can also be commanded to scan by pressing the blue or white button. After button press the tag will scan immediately and send the results to Ekahau Positioning Engine. The LEDs will indicate the scan success or failure similarly as in the scan activated by the wakeup interval. 2.4 Resetting to factory settings The tag can be reset to factory setting by pressing using a button sequence or by opening the back cover and removing the batteries. To reset the tag using buttons using button sequence do the following: 1. Press the White button for 2 seconds 2. When the lower LED flashed orange press down the blue button immediately. 3. After 2 seconds the lower LED flashes orange. 4. The tag has now been reset to factory settings. The tag is in reset mode when it does not execute button scan as defined in section 2.3. 3 TECHNICAL SPECIFICATIONS 3.1 General Outside Dimensions (mm): 45 x 55 x 19 Weight: 1.7 oz / 48 g with batteries EKAHAU T301-A USER GUIDE Power: 2xCR2 3.0V Lithium (LiMnO2) batteries Two buttons with call button functionality Two red/green/orange status indication LEDs Operating Temperature: 32 to 140ºF / 0 to 60 ºC, battery lifetime is lower on the low and high end of the temperature range.

Old batteries maybe removed from the device by pulling them gently upwards. New batteries should be placed between the battery springs. Check that the orientation of the batteries is correct. There are battery orientation indicators on the top cover and on the circuit board. The correct orientation is also showed in the image on the following page. Recommendations for choosing and replacing batteries: Use always new batteries. Replace both batteries at the same time. Use only 3.0V, CR2 size batteries. Ekahau recommends batteries from Maxell, Sanyo or VARTA. After batteries have been replaced close the back cover, replace and tighten the screws. EKAHAU T301-A USER GUIDE 3.5 Care and Maintenance The tag is a product of superior design and craftsmanship and should be treated with care. The suggestions below will help you to fulfill any warranty obligations and to use this product for many years. Keep the tag dry. Precipitation, humidity and all types of liquids or moisture can contain minerals that will corrode electronic circuits. Do not use or store the tag in dusty, dirty areas. Its moving parts can be damaged. Do not store the tag in hot areas. High temperatures can shorten the life of electronic devices, damage batteries, and warp or melt certain plastics. Do not store the tag in cold areas. When it warms up (to its normal temperature), moisture can form inside, which may damage electronic circuit boards. The operating temperature of the tag is 32 to 140ºF / 0 to 60 ºC. Do not operate the tag outside this temperature range. Open the tag only for replacing batteries. Do not drop, knock or shake the tag. Rough handling can break internal circuit boards. Do not use harsh chemicals or strong detergents to clean the tag. Do not paint the tag. Paint can clog the moving parts, affect the radio communication and prevent proper operation. Use only the supplied antenna. Unauthorized antennas, modifications or attachments could damage the tag and may violate regulations governing radio devices.
