The Federal Communications Commission has established technical standards
regarding radio frequency energy emitted by computer devices. This equipment has
been tested and found to comply with the limits for a Class A digital device, pursuant
to Part 15 of the FCC Rules. These limits are designed to provide reasonable
protection against harmful interference when the equipment is operated in a
commercial environment. This equipment generates, uses, and can radiate radio
frequency energy and, if not installed and used in accordance with the instruction
manual, may cause harmful interference with radio/TV reception. Operation of this
equipment in a residential area is likely to cause harmful interference in which case
the user will be required to correct the interference at his own expense.
Changes or modifications to this equipment that are not
expressly approved by Savi Technology could void the
warranty and the authority to operate this equipment.
Savi Technology is not responsible for radio/TV
interference caused by using unauthorized cable or
by making unauthorized changes to this equipment.

This guide describes how to install the EchoPoint Signpost, including
hardware installation and using the software to configure the Signpost.
Signposts are short-range transmitters that provide their identity
information to the EchoPoint Series 600 tags (Tags) that are within
range. A Tag uses this information to relay positional information
about itself to an EchoPoint Reader SR-600-101 (Reader). The
Reader then provides this information to the Savi SmartChain system
software where it is used for asset management.
This chapter introduces the Signpost types, and provides references
to other chapters having detailed Signpost setup, installation,
and configuration information. EchoPoint Signposts are used in
conjunction with other Savi equipment, including the Savi Site
Managers and Readers. Installation and use of these components is
documented in their respective user guides. For information on setting
up the EchoPoint Reader SR-600-101, refer to the EchoPoint Reader
SR-600-101 Installation Guide. For information on setting up a Savi
Site Manager, refer to the Site Manager Installation Guide.

for placement and the preparation include the considerations listed in
Table 2-2.

Consideration Addressed by ...
Safety Avoid selecting a Signpost installation location where
harm to the equipment or personnel is possible.
Power Select an installation location where power is
accessible.
Space Allow sufficient space to install the Signpost.
Coverage Make sure that the installation location is appropriate
for capturing data.
Model SP-600-201 Signpost coverage is a rectangle
with rounded corners that is approximately 12 feet
by 10 feet, measured on the floor under the Signpost
antenna.
Model SP-600-101 Signpost coverage is a circle that
is approximately 6 feet in diameter.
Note: The exact size and shape of these patterns is
dependent on several parameters, such as initial power
settings during installation, ambient noise levels, and
nearby obstructions. When installing, you need to
experiment to determine actual performance based on
needs.
Placement Signposts should be placed adjacent to a portal or other
choke point, covering an area where the assets must
pass or be stored.

The only cabling required for a basic installation is operating power.
This needs to be done in accordance with applicable safety
regulations. All cables should be routed and protected in a manner
which precludes damage to them or harm to personnel; for example,
unsecured extension cords left across access-ways or where assets or
asset moving equipment can damage them.

Either before or after the Signpost is installed, the installer should
set and verify the following settings for operation. This activity is
performed using a computer having the Signpost configuration
software application installed.
Before verifying these settings, you need to connect the computer
to the Signpost, which is documented in “Connecting Signposts to a
Computer” on page 3-2.
»To verify the operation settings:
The following Signpost configuration application parameters need
to be verified.
1. Configure the Signpost ID (1 to 65535)
The Signpost ID should be a unique number in the facility.
The Signpost can be identified in the system by associating this
number with a description in the Site Manager configuration.
2. Transmit group number (0 to 10)
The Transmit group number is used when a number of Signposts
are transmitting at the same time or a different time. The factory
setting is 0. The Signpost will not synchronize when the group
number is 0. When you program a number from 1 to 10, Signposts
having the same group number will transmit simultaneously.
Otherwise, they transmit at a different time.
3. Beacon Control on/off
The Beacon Control on/off option is used to program the tag
whenever changing the beacon mode of the tag is required.
When this option is disabled, the tag remains in the same mode.
When the option is enabled, the tag beacon mode will be changed
according to the command.
&RQILJXULQJ6LJQSRVW2SHUDWLRQ6HWWLQJV
(FKR3RLQW6LJQSRVW,QVWDOODWLRQ*XLGH
4. Power level
Generally, the maximum setting of 1023 is used, but this number
can be reduced to reduce power; the higher the number, the
higher the power. However, range does not increase linearly with
an increase in the power level, and may require a number of trial
settings to achieve the appropriate power level.
5. Tx Mode
The Tx mode should be set to normal mode.
