Opticon EBS30 Specifications Manual 5 1. Abstract This manual provides specifications for the EBS30 base station that can serve Opticon’s electronic shelf labels. (hereafter referred to as “Base Station”). 2. Overview The EBS30 is a base station, equipped with two 2.4GHz radios for data communication with Opticon’s electronic shelf labels. This product uses Direct Sequence Spread Spectrum RF technology that allows for an ultra-low power consumption combined with a reduced sensitivity to background noise. That means less interference by other radios that operate in the 2.4GHz band. The radio protocol that is used is based on the IEEE 802.15.4 standard that specifies the physical layer and media access control for low-rate wireless personal area networks. The base station provides the link between a back office system and the ESLs. The base station is equipped with an Ethernet interface so that it can connect to a local area network. It has a two port Ethernet switch built-in that allows for easy daisy chaining, enabling simplified network cabling.

Protocol Modified 802.15.4 (Physical layer and Media Access Control layer). 7.1.1. The physical layer The physical layer (PHY) provides the data transmission service, as well as the interface to the physical layer management entity, which offers access to every layer management function and maintains a database of information on related personal area networks. Thus, the PHY manages the physical RF transceiver and performs channel selection and energy and signal management functions. It operates on the above mentioned frequency band. The PHY layer is 100% compliant and is based on direct sequence spread spectrum (DSSS) technique with a transfer rate of 250 kbit/s. 7.1.2. The medium access control layer The medium access control (MAC) layer enables the transmission of MAC frames through the use of the physical channel. Besides the data service, it offers a management interface and itself manages access to the physical channel. It also controls frame validation, guarantees time slots and handles node associations. Finally, it offers hook points for secure services. The EE200 does not make use of the optional network beaconing, instead it used a polling mechanism to increase power efficiency. Some changes are made to the standard to allow for more efficient data frames and better power efficiency, especially when nodes are not connected to a base station. 7.2. Security The 802.15.4 standard 128-bit AES encryption is supported. A secure method for key management is implemented as well. The encryption is optional though and can be configured. By default the radio traffic is unencrypted.
Opticon EBS30 Specifications Manual 10 8. Labeling 8.1. Product label The product label shown below is affixed to the back side of the base station. The label shows two barcodes; on top is the Ethernet MAC address and below is the serial number of the base station. The MAC address shown here matches the actual address programmed into the EBS30. The addresses for the two 802.15.4 radios are derived from this address. These addresses (both are the same) are essentially the same as the Ethernet address, but with two zero’s. Below is a description of those addresses: Ethernet MAC address: M1M2M3-S1S2S3 802.15.4 MAC address: M1M2M3-SaSbS1S2S3 M1M2M3 Define the manufacturer ID, which is 00126A in our case and is the same for both address types. The bytes following that define the product number and that number is 3 bytes long for an Ethernet address and 5 bytes for a 802.15.4 address. To convert the two, we have set SaSb both to zero. So e.g. an Ethernet MAC address of 00126A45AB23 results in an 802.15.4 address of 00126A000045AB23 Material: Base + laminate protection against wear. Base: PP film, thickness 80µm, backing with glue. Laminate: PET film, clear, thickness 50µm. Colors: Black & White The dimensions of the product label are W 84 x H 35. Figure 2: product label
Opticon EBS30 Specifications Manual 11 8.2. White box label The white box label is made from plain paper and is meant to show the product number and serial number. The label design is shown below. The Size is 70mm x 40mm with a tolerance of ± 2 mm Label material: Paper, white, with permanent adhesive backing. Article number: Standard code 39 + human readable text , data = TBD Serial number: Standard code 39 + human readable text, data should match that of the product inside the box.
