2.2 Activating the tag
When the tag is delivered it does not have any of the necessary configuration settings. These
environment specific settings need to be applied before the tag can connect to the network and
the EPE. The T301-B tags are delivered with the battery charged to a storage charge, it is
recommended to fully charge the battery, before activating the tags first time. See charging
instructions in Charging the T301-B tag on page 7
Tag activation is done using Ekahau Activator software that configures Ekahau T301-B tags
wirelessly. See more information on the Ekahau Activator software in chapter Ekahau Activator
T301 on page 9.
After successful Activation you will see the MAC address of the tag appears on the EPE list of
tags. After successful connection with EPE the configurations can be managed directly from EPE
using the Tag Configurations.
2.3 Status Indication LEDs
The tag is equipped with two multi-color LEDs that provide status indication. The table below lists
the different modes of the tag LEDs:

2.4 Button activated location update and maintenance
call
The tag can also be set to scan and update it's location by pressing any of the buttons. After a
button press the tag scans and sends the results to EPE immediately, if Red button was pressed
the TAG will additionally do a maintenance call to update the settings. The LEDs indicate the scan
success or failure similarly as in the scan activated by the wake up interval.
2.5 Safety switch activated location update
If the safety switch is pulled out from it's original position the tag will update it's location to the EPE
with the Safety Switch flag. If the location update is not succesful the tag will retry until the battery
is empty.

2.6 Resetting to factory settings
The tag can be reset to factory setting with the following button sequence .
1. Press and hold the Blue button until Right LED flashes orange. When the tag is busy this may
take even 20 seconds.
2. Then immediately press down the Red button .
3. After approximately 2 seconds both LED’s flash 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 Button activated location update and maintenance
call on page 5.
2.7 Firmware update
The tag firmware can be updated wirelessly using EPE. The firmware is uploaded to the Tags
from the Tag Properties page in EPE. Follow instruction in the EPE User Guide for updating the
firmware.
Note
If the Tag battery level is below 50% the FW update is not allowed. The corresponding error
code in EPE is TU. To update the firmware, please first recharge the battery and try again.
2.8 Optimizing Battery Life
The T301-B Wi-Fi tag uses an ultra-low power system-on-chip architecture that lowers the power
consumption to minimal, but to ensure optimal performance with targeted lifetime, here are some
considerations.
The principal in optimizing battery life is to determine the maximum interval for location updates,
still sufficient for the use case, to minimize the amount of time the tag is active.
Recommendations for optimizing battery lifetime:
● Scan only channels that are in use in your network. Typically, because of overlap of channels,
there are only 3 or 4 channels in use from the 11 (or 13/14) available.
● Use single SSID whenever possible. Using multiple SSIDs requires additional network scans
and decreases battery lifetime.
● When using dynamic IP addressing tune the DHCP server to provide very long lease times
for tags.
● tag supports roaming between sub networks. This feature renews tag’s IP address whenever
the access point association changes. Since renewing IP addresses consumes large amounts
of energy, it is strongly recommended not to use the network wide dynamic addressing feature
if it is not needed.
● Tune the wake up settings to match your application needs. More frequent updates lower the
battery lifetime.

2.9 Charging the T301-B tag
Figure 2.3. Connecting the tag with a charger.
The T301-B tag is delivered with the battery charged to a storage charge, and it is recommended
to fully charge the batteries before first time activating the tag. To ensure the tag battery is full,
please put the tag in to a charger for 4 hours. To remove the charger plug, release the plug by
pressing the latches on the plug and pull the plug out.
The tag will give a notification when the tag battery is low. Connect the charger and the Right LED
will show orange light during the charging. after the tag is fully charged the Right LED will turn
green. If the tag battery is completely empty, the tag will automatically turn off. After a charger is
connected, the tag will automatically return to it's normal function, maintaining last settings.
The Ekahau supported adapters are
1. FW7650/05 Ekahau T301-B Charger
2. CMC-301B-1 Ekahau multi charger for T301-B
Note
In case the tag battery is completely empty, typically when left empty and uncharged for several
days, is may a long time for the tag even to turn on the orange led. Just connect the charger
and leave the tag to recharge overnight.
Warning
Only use Ekahau supported adapters for charging the tags.
Chapter 2. Tag operation

3.3 Activating T301-A Tags
For the tags to be able to communicate with the Ekahau Positioning Engine, the tag needs to be
activated e.g. the tag needs to be given the neccesary parameter to associate to the network. At
least the IP Address of the Ekahau Positioning Engine, SSID of the network used and the IP
configuration method are required. To activate T301-A tags, first start the Ekahau Activator T301.
To activate the tags for survey usage please refer to Ekahau Location Survey User Guide chapter
Using Ekahau T301 Location Tag
3.3.1 Positioning Engine settings
Input the IP address of the Ekahau Positioning Engine. After completing the "Positioning engine
settings" The status bar should show "Engine Ok". These are the minimum settings needed.
In case Engine Port, Maintenance port or Maintenance IP needs to be changed go to "Advanced"
mode.
10
Chapter 3. Ekahau Activator T301
Note
When activating the T301-A tags, only an initial setup is required for the tag to associate with
the network. All the settings can be set and changed from the Ekahau Positioning Engine.
Ekahau Activator T301 only provides a set of basic settings.
3.3.2 Scan settings
Select the correct area the tag is used in. FCC for North America, ETSI for Europe and Japan for
Japan. The software automatically disables the channels not available for the area selected. It is
also recommended to only select the channels used in you network. Activating the unused channels
will only reduce the battery lifetime of the tag. After completing the settings the status bar should
show "Scan Ok"
Chapter 3. Ekahau Activator T301
11
Warning
Only use channels that really exists in you Wi-Fi network. Activating unnecessary channels will
reduce the TAG battery lifetime!
3.3.3 WLAN Settings
Input the Network SSID and select the Encryption method used. If Wep 64/128 or WPA2-PSK is
used type in the network key. After WLAN settings are completed the status bar should show
"WLAN Ok"

Chapter 3. Ekahau Activator T301
Tip
If Wep encryption is used the Activator automatically determines the key type and length from
what you type. Wep 64 require 5 Ascii characters or 10 hex digits, respectively Wep 128
requires 13 Ascii characters or 26 hex digits.
3.3.4 IP Settings
Check the IP settings. If DHCP is used nothing needs to be done. In case your network requires
Static IP to be used, type in the IP address range to be used, Netmask and Gateway addresses.

Note
1) Network wide DHCP enables roaming between sub networks. With this setting the tag
refreshes its IP address whenever the tag associates with a new access point. It is not recom-
mended to use the feature, if not required, due to higher power consumption
Note
Using the Advanced Scan Settings need a careful consideration. The scanning consumes a
high amount of energy, and the more scanning is done the less battery life the tag has. Typically
these parameters are used to improve accuracy in very difficult conditions or in cases the tag
otherwise would scan rarely.
