Brickstream® 3D+ Smart Devices can now be linked together as though they were a single Smart  Device to create a large virtual floor plan, supporting counting lines that span across up to three (3) Smart  Devices. This greatly reduces the configuration time on wide entrances, where counting lines must be precisely positioned on two Smart  Devices in order to avoid over counting and under counting. In addition, all behavioral analytics applied to counting lines in a single Smart Device can be consolidated and applied to a large virtual floor plan. You can link a master Smart  Device and up to a maximum of two additional slave Smart Devices together. Once the Smart  Devices are linked, you can use the master Smart  Device to create the counting lines and intersections for each linked Smart  Device. You can combine the count line data from the slave Smart  Devices and distribute this data as a part of the master Smart Device’s data to the user designated data warehouses for further analysis. You can unlink a group of Smart  Devices at any time and then re-link them later, or choose other Smart  Devices to replace your original grouped combination.Enabling Path LinkingThe Brickstream® 3D+ Smart  Device allows you to designate a specific port number for path linking request deliveries, when using the Path Linking functionality on “master” and “ancillary” Smart  Devices for path linking. This port number indicates where the master Smart Device listens for request, and is also the same port number that ancillary Smart  Devices use to determine This allows the IT department to use the same port for multiple devices and filter the traffic by the URL in the HTTP POST.Set the Destination URL/directory field to the default value of  ‘/’if you have not been directed to change this field.The choice of Delivery Schedule will be the smallest increment for viewing the data stream of Traffic Maps in the Device Manager’s Floorplan Editor, and also in the Traffic Map Analysis web tool.This field is only accessible if data encryption is enabled.

The Path Linking group on the Basic Settings > Data Delivery page of the Brickstream 3D+ web interface is used to set and edit this information. 1. Open the Brickstream  3D+ web interface to the Basic Settings > Data Delivery page.2. Click Path Linking to expand the Path Linking section.Figure 32:  Path Linking3. Select the Enable Path Linking check box. The field becomes active.4. Type the Port number to which the Smart  Device should attempt to deliver the path linking data in the Port field. The default value is 3012.5. Click Save. The settings are saved.6. If you are saved a change of the port number used for path linking on a master Smart Device, you must reboot the master Smart  Device for the new path linking port number to become effective. Go to   > Reboot, and then click Reboot.Using the Path Linking PageInstalling a Path Linking license on a Smart  Device enables the Path Linking page. This access will allow you to make this Smart Device a master Smart  Device. Slave Smart Devices do not require a Path Linking license. 1. On the Path Linking page of the Smart  Device, click the Enable Path Linking button. If you change the port number on the master Smart  Device, the change is not effective until the master Smart  Device is rebooted. Both the master Smart  Device and the slave Smart Device must use the same port number for path linking, because this is how the master and slave Smart Devices share calibration and tracking information. Images are not passed the same way as the calibration and tracking data, so it is not reliable to gauge whether the linked data is being passed by whether you can see the images on both devices. The images may display even if the path linking is not working.
