Confidential and Proprietary 1.0 Background This document is intended as a set up guide to the System Integrator for Free Alliance‟s nuRF Enterprise System 2.2‟s Real Time Locating System. For instructions on installing and setting up the nuRF Enterprise System, refer to the Installation Manual or contact your solution provider. For instructions on configuring the nuRF Enterprise System, refer to the User Manual or contact your solution provider. RTLS feature is only available in nuRF Enterprise System.
Setup Guide for System Integrator Page 6 of 19 Free Alliance Sdn Bhd. Confidential and Proprietary 2.0 Real Time Location System Setup Real Time Locating System (RTLS) provides tracking and location of the nuRF Tags in real time, accessible by users via the nuRF Web Application. The RTLS is set up during system deployment after the system infrastructure has been finalized and typically performed as the final process. The set up of the RTLS does not require specialized tools or equipment, and can be performed using the actual infrastructure and nuRF Tags. The process includes the following steps that are undertaken by the system integrator: a. Manage Map  To upload map image file and assign Access Points locations in the map.  Refer to section 2.1. b. Site Survey  To generate an RSSI reference map for the coverage area.  Refer to section 2.2. c. Sampling Algorithm  To select the RTLS sampling method.  Refer to section 2.3. d. nuRF Web Application: Map View  Monitor and track the location of the nuRF Tags in real time.  Refer to section 2.4.

Confidential and Proprietary 2.2 Site Survey Site Survey is a one-time calibration process where the System Integrator performs RF signal mapping in the coverage area to generate an RSSI reference map used by RTLS. Prior to starting the Site Survey, sampling points shall be selected as to minimize possible interruptions and optimize the process. Points must be selected to represent the areas where nuRF Tags are expected to be tracked. The Site Survey requires that one nuRF Tag (preferably an Active Tag to minimize user intervention) be assigned as the Site Survey Tag, whose RF signal will be recorded to generate the RSSI reference map. All Access Points registered within the system will be actively recording the RF signal during the Site Survey. It is critical to ensure that all APs are properly mounted in their final location and properly registered and recognized by the nuRF Enterprise System. Instructions are provided on the Site Survey tool during the process. To begin, click on the menu item “System Management” and click on “Site Survey”

Setup Guide for System Integrator Page 13 of 19 Free Alliance Sdn Bhd. Confidential and Proprietary 2.3 Sampling Algorithm The RTLS supports two methods of sampling while performing location estimation of the nuRF Tags. Depending on the application requirement and user preference, the optimal method can be chosen as follows:  Primary zone sampling o The RTLS Engine estimates the Tag location based on the current Primary Zone of the Tag, ie the AP receiving the strongest RF signal from the Tag. The estimated location will be selected from the subset of locations associated to the particular Primary Zone only. This method is preferable in most cases, as it optimizes the CPU and memory usage during processing, and provides smoother location estimation for all Tags. This method is also particularly useful for large scale deployment where the total number of Site Survey reference points is large (generally >50). The drawback of this method is that the transition of the estimated location of fast moving Tags may be slower and may result in a perceived „lag‟ on the visual of the Tag tracking. This method should not be selected if the APs are laid out in high density and highly overlapping manner.  Full sampling o The RTLS Engine estimates the Tag location by sampling ALL the reference points as recorded during the Site Survey. This method is the preferred method for most small scale deployments (3 – 10 APs), and where computing and networking resources are available with significant buffer. The advantage of this method is the ability to reflect a more responsive estimation of location based on a more complete set of sampling data. The drawback is that the RTLS Engine will commit more CPU and memory resources for the processing.
