T301W user interface 1.4 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: Action LED Status Activation 3 x Green Activation successful 3 x Red Activation failed De-activation (Reset) 3 x Green and Red Reset successful Charging Orange Charging Green Battery full Button press 1 x Orange Button press recognized ELP / EMP packet success Success of the ELP / EMP packet is no longer indicated with the LED Alarm Configurable Can be configured to use any pattern over EMP command Chapter 2. Initial Activation of the Tag 2 Initial Activation of 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 ERC. The T301W tags are delivered with the battery charged to a storage charge. Tag activation is done using Ekahau Activator software that configures Ekahau T301 family tags wirelessly. The activation of the tags is explained in more details in chapter Installing Ekahau Activator T301 on page 3. After successful Activation you will see the MAC address of the tag appears on the ERC list of tags. After successful connection with ERC the configurations can be managed directly from ERC using Tag Configurations page. 2.1 Installing Ekahau Activator T301 The Ekahau Activator T301 can only be installed using the Ekahau RTLS installer. When you install the Ekahau RTLS, you do not necessarily need to install the Ekahau Activator if the target computer cannot be used to activate tags with a supported Wi-Fi adapter. If you want to install the Ekahau Activator later on another computer, simply run the RTLS setup file on the target computer and choose to install only the Ekahau Activator. To install Ekahau Activator as a stand alone: 1. 2. 3. Choose a laptop (or a desktop with a supported Wi-Fi adapter) computer with Windows XP or 2000, at least 256 MB of memory, PC card slot, and 100 MB of free hard disk space Install a supported Wi-Fi adapter using the driver provided by Ekahau. For list of supported adapters, please visit http://www.ekahau.com/devices Run the RTLS setup file from it's location, and follow the on-screen instructions 2.2 Supported Wi-Fi Adapters. You can find the latest supported Wi-Fi adapters from our website: http://www.ekahau.com/devices 2.3 Activation Procedure For the tags to be able to communicate with the Ekahau RTLS Controller, the tag needs to be activated e.g. the tag needs to be given the necessarry parameter to associate with the network. At least the IP address of the Ekahau RTLS Controller, SSID of the network used and the IP configuration method are required. To activate T301W tags, you need to use the Ekahau Activator T301 which you can run from Ekahau Programs menu. After that, follow the following Activator configuration procedure: 2.3.1 Configuring Ekahau RTLS Controller Settings Input the IP address of the Ekahau RTLS Controller. The Maintenance Interval is by default 240 seconds, but shorter interval can be used if LED and Vibration alerts are sent frequently to the Chapter 2. Initial Activation of the Tag T301W tag. After completing the "Positioning engine settings", the status bar should show "Engine Ok". These are the minimum settings needed. Figure 2.1. Specifying the Engine IP address and Maintenance interval In case Engine Port, Maintenance port, and/or Maintenance IP needs to be changed, go to "Advanced" mode. Figure 2.2. Specifying advanced Positioning Engine settings Chapter 2. Initial Activation of the Tag Note When activating the T301W 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 RTLS Controller. Ekahau Activator T301 only provides a set of basic settings. 2.3.2 Configuring Scan Settings Select which location update method you want to use. Select "Generic (ELP)" in case you want the tag(s) to communicate with the Ekahau RTLS Controller in associated mode where the tag associates to the network everytime it sends an ELP location update packet. If you want to use the tag(s) in beaconing mode, select the mode that corresponds to your Wi-Fi network vendor. In beaconing mode the tag does not associate with the network. In the "Count" field you can define how many times the tag sends a location update packet during each location update. By default, the Scan Interval is 60 seconds. You may also use shorter interval, but it will drain faster the battery of the tag. Alternatively you can use longer Scan Interval and enable Motion Sensor through the Ekahau RTLS Controller after activation. This way the tag will scan only when it is in use and on move. In addition to Scan Settings, you need to define 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" Figure 2.3. Specifying the Scan Interval and the channels used in the network Chapter 2. Initial Activation of the Tag Warning Only use channels that really exists in you Wi-Fi network. Activating unnecessary channels will reduce the tag battery lifetime! 2.3.3 Configuring WLAN Settings Input the Wi-Fi Network SSID and select the Encryption method used. If WEP 64/128 or WPA2PSK is used type in the network key. After WLAN settings are completed the status bar should show "WLAN Ok" Figure 2.4. Specifying Wi-Fi network settings 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. 2.3.4 Configuring 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. Chapter 2. Initial Activation of the Tag Tip If you only activate a single tag and wish to use static IP setting. Please input Start IP Address = End IP Address. Figure 2.5. Specifying IP settings 2.3.5 Activation If the supported Wi-Fi adapter is inserted and all the settings are shown OK in the status bar, the Activate button should now be active. To continue Activating the Tags press the "Activate" button. Chapter 2. Initial Activation of the Tag Figure 2.6. When all the settings are OK, you can start activating the tags The Activation window shows all the settings on the upper side of the window. The list of the activated tags will appead on the area below. Chapter 2. Initial Activation of the Tag Figure 2.7. The Activator is ready to start activating the tags When the activation window appears, the Activator is ready to start activating the tags. To activate the tag, press the small Activation Button on the side of the tag. The tag will play the vibrator when the Activation Button is pressed. After successful activation, the tag will blink green LED three times. In addition, the TAG MAC address appears on the activation window, showing Ok status. Repeat this for all the tags to be activated. Note If WPA2-PSK encryption is used, it might take even 10-15 seconds before the tag appears to EPE's Tags list. Chapter 2. Initial Activation of the Tag 10 Figure 2.8. The Activator has activated one tag After completing activating the tags, close the activation window. Tip After you have finished the activation, you can save the configuration for future use from the file menu. If you save the settings on Ekahau Activator T301.ini the setup will be the default every time the Activator is started. Chapter 2. Initial Activation of the Tag 11 Figure 2.9.

Configuration After Initial Activation 15 3 Configuration After Initial Activation The tag can be adjusted for each application and network settings by adjusting a set of parameters. The parameters can be changed wirelessly after resetting the tag by using the Ekahau Activator software or through Tag Configurations in Ekahau RTLS Controller. Ekahau Activator is used for configuring the initial configuration settings that allows connecting the tag to ERC over the network. After connection is established with ERC, all configurations can be managed through Ekahau RTLS Controller. 3.1 Tag Configuration Settings in ERC Configs Page In Ekahau RTLS Controller it is possible to create a configuration to a single tag or a group configuration to multiple tags. After the tags are activated, the configurations are applied to tags from the Tags page. It is also possible to apply a configuration automatically to all new tags via the Configs page.

This is Seconds, Minutes, Hours relevenat only when Motion Sensor is enabled. Otherwise leave the field empty. Note 1) Network wide DHCP enables roaming between subnetworks. With this setting the tag refreshes its IP address whenever the tag associates with a new access point. It is not recommended to use the feature, if not required, due to higher power consumption Note 2) 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. 3.2 Tag Actions Available in ERC Tags Properties Page Setting Description Values A user given name for tag Free text User Data Name Chapter 3.

Note Currently the T301W's vibration is controlled and configured by using the same commands that are used with the Buzzer. Remember that T301W tag does not have a buzzer alarm! Chapter 4. Tag Operation 19 4 Tag Operation 4.1 Button Activated Location Update In addition to periodic location updates, the tag can also be set to scan and update it's location when any of the buttons is pressed. After a button press the tag scans immediately and sends the results to ERC. The LEDs indicate the scan success or failure similarly as in the scan activated by the wake up interval. 4.2 Maintenance Call The T301W performs normal periodict Maintenance Calls. The interval of the Maintenance Calls can be set during the initial activation or after the activation via Ekahau RTLS Controller. The T301W tag does not perform button activated maintenance calls. Instead, when the button is pressed, ERC will respond to the Location Update with ACK packet which can indicate if there is pending Maintenance command message. If there is, the T301W will perform automatically Maintenance Call. 4.3 De-activation / Resetting to Factory Settings The T301W tag can be reset back to factory settings by pressing the Activation Button on the side of the tag. Use small pen or pin to press the button. The tag will be reset to factory settings immediately. When it has been successfully reset, the tag will blink the LED three times as Green and Red in turns. 4.4 Firmware Update The tag firmware can be updated wirelessly using ERC. The firmware is uploaded to the tags from the Tag Properties page or directly from Tags page in ERC. Follow instruction in the ERC 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 ERC is TU. To update the firmware, please first recharge the battery and try again. Note T301W firmware update requires a new UDP port allocation from EPE (defaults to 8563). See “Global Settings” page in EPE Config Utility. Chapter 4. Tag Operation 20 4.5 Optimizing Battery Life The T301W Wi-Fi tag uses an ultra-low power system-on-chip architecture that lowers the power consumption to minimal. This enables running tags with same batteries for several years. However, to get the maximum lifetime from your tags you should take care that your network and tag configuration supports all possible power save features. 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. T301W tag supports roaming between subnetworks. 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. 4.6 Turning off the T301W Tag The T301W tag can only be turned off by resetting the tag to factory settings which is explained in chapter De-activation / Resetting to Factory Settings on page 19. To continue using the tag after resetting, you have to re-activate it following the instructions explained in chapter Activation Procedure on page 3. 4.7 Charging the T301W tag The T301BD 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 2 hours. The tag will give a notification when the tag battery is low. Connect the charger and the LED will show orange light during the charging. after the tag is fully charged the 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. 2. Ekahau C-T301W Charger Ekahau C301W-9 Multi Charger Note Chapter 4. Tag Operation 21 In case the tag battery is completely empty, typically when left empty and uncharged for several days, it may take 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. Warning Recharge the tag only in room temperature conditions, 0 °C - 40°C (32 °F - 104 °F). Recharging the tag in too cold or too hot conditions may damage the tag. Chapter 4.

This device may not cause harmful interference, and 2. This device must accept any interference received, including interference that may cause undesired operation. Warning (Part 15.21) Changes or modifications not expressly approved by the party responsible for compliance could void the user’s authority to operate the equipment. FCC Interference Statement (Part 15.105 (b) This equipment has been tested and found to comply with the limits for a Class B digital device, pursuant to Part 15 of the FCC Rules. These limits are designed to provide reasonable protection against harmful interference in a residential installation. This equipment generates uses and can radiate radio frequency energy and, if not installed and used in accordance with the instructions, may cause harmful interference to radio communications. However, there is no guarantee that interference will not occur in a particular installation. If this equipment does cause harmful interference to radio or television reception, which can be determined by turning the equipment off and on, the user is encouraged to try to correct the interference by one of the following measures: - Reorient or relocate the receiving antenna. - Increase the separation between the equipment and receiver. - Connect the equipment into an outlet on a circuit different from that to which the receiver is connected. - Consult the dealer or an experienced radio/TV technician for help.

Industry Canada Statements for Portable Devices Section 7.1.3 of RSS-GEN Operation is subject to the following two conditions: 1) this device may not cause interference, and 2) this device must accept any interference, including interference that may cause undesired operation of the device. Le fonctionnement de ce système est assorti aux deux conditions suivantes : 1 L’appareil ne peut causer d’interférences nuisibles, et 2 L’appareil doit accepter les interférences reçues, y compris celles qui pourraient nuire à son fonctionnement. Section 7.1.2 of RSS-GEN "Under Industry Canada regulations, this radio transmitter may only operate using an antenna of a type and maximum (or lesser) gain approved for the transmitter by Industry Canada. To reduce potential radio interference to other users, the antenna type and its gain should be so chosen that the equivalent isotropically radiated power (e.i.r.p.) is not more than that necessary for successful communication." "Conformément à la réglementation d'Industrie Canada, le présent émetteur radio peut fonctionner avec une antenne d'un type et d'un gain maximal (ou inférieur) approuvé pour l'émetteur par Industrie Canada. Dans le but de réduire les risques de brouillage radioélectrique à l'intention des autres utilisateurs, il faut choisir le type d'antenne et son gain de sorte que la puissance isotrope rayonnée équivalente (p.i.r.e.) ne dépasse pas l'intensité nécessaire à l'établissement d'une communication satisfaisante."
