STAR 3000 Installation Manual Mojix Incorporated www.mojix.com (877) 886-6549 Page 25 of 36 Confidential and Proprietary MASTER CONTROLLER INSTALLATION The Mojix Master Controller (MCON) is an application server capable of running on a number of platforms to support the Mojix STAR system. The MCON is built on a scalable architecture that allows seamless coordination and aggregation of an entire network of distributed STAR systems across one or multiple facilities. Its applications include a Real Time Location System (RTLS) and portal or dock door operations which provide transition detection and rejection of closely staged RFID tags. The MCON’s RTLS function uniquely identifies and locates items in real-time and is able to handle extensive data collection requirements with a high level of accuracy. The MCON publishes tag data directly to enterprise applications via EPC ALE without the need of middleware typically used to collect and filter tag information. The diagram below provides a summary of the MCON’s interfaces, functions and applications. Figure 18: MCON Architecture The MCON is offered in a high-availability platform with a robust redundancy capability within the hardware components of the MCON, as well as for automatic failover redundancy of an entire MCON to secondary system. Internally, the MCON features hot-swap power supplies and six (6) hot-swap hard drives running in a RAID5 configuration, which allows for a single drive failure without disruption of any MCON functions. Replacement drives need only be inserted in place of the failed drive for the system to fully recover. The MCON is offered in two form factors detailed in Table 8 and Table 9. The desktop configuration is suitable for small installations, demonstrations and trial implementations. The enterprise configuration is intended for full scale deployments.

These specifications are detailed in Table 10 and Table 11.

A multi-core CPU may be composed of several smaller computing units.  - The minimum amount of memory required is calculated by the RTLS resource allocation specification provided below. MCON hardware must be installed in a temperature and environmentally controlled room. Redundancy Summary The Mojix solution includes a robust redundancy capability within the hardware components of the Master Controller (MCON), as well as for automatic failover redundancy of an entire MCON system to another. These redundancy options are only offered on the Enterprise Server Class hardware. Internally, the platform features 8 hot-swap hard drives running in a RAID5 configuration. With this configuration, a single drive can fail without disrupting any MCON functions. Replacement drives need only be inserted in place of the failed drive and the system will automatically configure the new drive. Figure 19: Front Panel of Dell PowerEdge Server

It is recommended that each supply use a separate AC circuit to protect against a possible circuit failure. Figure 20: Redundant Power Supplies Once the MCON hardware is mounted and secured and prior to issuing power to the unit, connect a network cable to the eth0 port as identified in Figure 21. The next step is to power on the unit. Figure 21: Identification of Network Interfaces
STAR 3000 Installation Manual Mojix Incorporated www.mojix.com (877) 886-6549 Page 29 of 36 Confidential and Proprietary SYSTEM NETWORK SETUP The MCON has the flexibility to configure and manage the STAR unit through a Web enabled interface called the Web Console. CONNECTING TO THE MCON The MCON by default uses DHCP for IP assignment. If a DHCP server is not found within 5 minutes from power up, the MCON uses the following default IP address. • Default Static IP: 169.254.1.1 • Default Netmask: 255.255.0.0 • Default Gateway: 169.254.1.1 It is recommended to connect the MCON using loopback/crossover cable directly to a windows PC for the initial setup. This will ensure that the MCON defaults to the IP address above after 5 minutes. If the MCON is instead connected to a LAN with DHCP server, it may acquire a different IP address, making it difficult to locate on the network for first time setup. CHANGING MCON NETWORK SETTINGS The simplest way to change network settings of the MCON is to navigate a web browser to the MCON’s IP address. Use the following credentials to authenticate the connection. User: edison Password: m0j1xInc Once connected, use the Config menu to select Network. The Figure 22 shows the network configuration screen. The user can choose between dhcp or a static IP address. Once changes are made, click on the Save button. Changes occur within 30 seconds.
STAR 3000 Installation Manual Mojix Incorporated www.mojix.com (877) 886-6549 Page 30 of 36 Confidential and Proprietary Figure 22: MCON Network Configuration CHANGING STAR NETWORK SETTINGS The STAR 3000 uses DHCP for IP addressing by default. If a DHCP server is not detected within 1 minute from power up, then there are 2 temporary IP addresses assigned and remain active for 10 minutes. These addresses are as follows: • Default Ethernet 1 Address: 169.254.1.10 • Default Ethernet 1 Netmask: 255.255.0.0 • Default Ethernet 2 Address: 169.254.1.11 • Default Ethernet 2 Netmask: 255.255.0.0 Network settings can be edited and changed using a built-in Web interface. To edit the network configuration, follow this procedure: 1. Power on the STAR 3000 with an Ethernet cable connected to Ethernet 1. 2. Enter the default IP address of 169.254.1.10 into a Web browser and the user should be presented with a page similar to Figure 23.
