___________________________________________________________________________ WhereWand II User’s Guide ___________________________________________________________________________ 10 WhereWand II User’s Guide D1258 rev A © Copyright WhereNet, Corp. 2002 WhereNet Confidential 1.2 RF Notice The antenna used for this transmitter must not be co-located or operating in conjunction with any other antenna or transmitter. Any changes or modifications to WhereNet Corporation equipment not expressly approved by WhereNet Corporation could void the user’s authority to operate the equipment. 2 SYSTEM OVERVIEW 2.1 WhereNet RLTS System The WhereNet real time location system (RTLS) is designed to permit users to determine the position of tagged assets in both indoor and outdoor applications. Each WhereTag autonomously emits a 2.4 GHz direct sequence spread spectrum (DSSS) radio signal at predetermined blink intervals, in response to switch events, and/or in response to WherePort devices. The signal transmitted by the WhereTag is received by the WhereNet infrastructure which decodes that tag’s transmission, extracts the data, and determines the tag’s location using several different algorithms.

___________________________________________________________________________ WhereWand II User’s Guide ___________________________________________________________________________ 11 WhereWand II User’s Guide D1258 rev A © Copyright WhereNet, Corp. 2002 WhereNet Confidential The WhereNet RLTS consists of WhereTag/WhereCall tags, WherePorts, WhereWands, Location Sensors, and the server based Visibility Suite software. WherePorts generate a magnetic field in a localized area. WherePort devices can be used in places where the user wants to know immediately that the tagged asset has entered the zone covered by the WherePort field. The WhereTag devices can be configured to blink rapidly several times when they enter a WherePort field. When the tag blinks in response to entering a WherePort field, the ID of the WherePort is included in the tag transmission. WhereWands are used to configure WhereTags, WhereCalls, WherePorts, and Location Sensors. This document will detail the operation and use of the WhereWand. Location Sensors receive DSSS blinks from the tags and demodulate the signal, time stamp the blink, and send the tag ID and any associated data included in the blink to the server over the LAN. 2.2 WhereWand Hand Held Programmer All references to the WhereWand product in this document assume VSS 3.0 (or greater) Tag Utilities are loaded on the WhereWand; prior versions of the Tag Utilities do not support all features listed in this document. ____________ Note ____________

___________________________________________________________________________ WhereWand II User’s Guide ___________________________________________________________________________ 12 WhereWand II User’s Guide D1258 rev A © Copyright WhereNet, Corp. 2002 WhereNet Confidential The WhereWand Hand Held Programmer consists of Handheld Computer with an external WhereWand adapter with an integral antenna assembly. The WhereWand is capable of two-way wireless communication with WhereTag and WhereCall tag devices. The WhereWand is also capable of wired communication with WherePort devices. The third capability of the WhereWand is wireless communications with the Location Sensor in the WhereNet G2 infrastructure. The WhereWand communicates with WhereTag II/III/IV devices by sending magnetic FSK data to the tag and receiving on-off keyed / frequency shift keyed (OOK/FSK) RF data from the tag. The WhereWand communicates with WhereCall and WhereTag I devices by transmitting and receiving OOK/FSK RF data to and from the tag. Communication with the WhereTag and WhereCall allow the user to set tag configuration parameters such as DSSS blink intervals and tag responses to such stimuli as WherePorts and/or switch/telemetry inputs. It also allows the user to read back configuration and other data from the tag. The WhereWand will automatically select the proper communication protocol scheme based on the tag’s unique identification number  Tag IDs between 0 and 16,777,215 are WhereCall or WhereTag I  Tag IDs between 16,777,216 and 17,099,999 are WhereTag II V2.0  Tag IDs between 17,100,000 and 17,999,999 are WhereTag II V2.1  Tag IDs greater than 18,000,000 are WhereTag III or IV devices The WhereWand communicates with WherePort II or III devices using the configuration cable included with the WhereWand. This bi-directional interface

___________________________________________________________________________ WhereWand II User’s Guide ___________________________________________________________________________ 13 WhereWand II User’s Guide D1258 rev A © Copyright WhereNet, Corp. 2002 WhereNet Confidential allows the user to configure WherePort devices and read back the configuration. WherePort configuration parameters include WherePort ID, power level, phase setting, and tag response. The WhereWand communicates with the Location Sensor by transmitting DSSS messages containing the desired configuration data or test mode. This is a transmit only operation and the Location Sensor will not transmit anything back to the WhereWand, but the Location Sensor will flash its LEDs to indicate communications are in progress. 2.3 Power Management The WhereWand II’s power management is handled by the application software installed on the handheld computer. The WhereWand II Adapter PCBA itself will shut off the on-board high frequency RF clock while it is not transmitting to further reduce current consumption. The WhereWand II Adapter ships with rechargeable Lithium batteries. Any time the WhereWand Programmer is not in use, it should be placed into its battery charger cradle. Refer to the terminal’s Original Equipment Manufacturer documentation included with the product.

The same WherePort ID will be ignored after causing tag blinks until the retrigger timeout expires. The mode selects the event that starts the timer. In retrigger mode 1 (values with ‘L’ added to the time in seconds) the retrigger timer starts after the tag sends its last WherePort blink from the previously received valid WherePort message. In retrigger mode 2 (values with ‘E’ added to the time in seconds) the retrigger timer will not start until the sends its last WherePort blink AND the tag has left the WherePort field. If the same WherePort message is received before the timer expires, the time is reloaded and the retrigger timeout starts over. In retrigger mode 3 (values with ‘EF’ added to the time in seconds) the retrigger timer operates the same as in mode 2, only when the timer does expire, the tag will send another set of WherePort blinks – with the “LEFT WP FIELD” bit set. The retrigger times can range from 1 second to 2 minutes. As soon as the user selects one of the available timeouts, the WhereWand application will return to custom configuration screen 1 to allow another parameter to be selected and modified. The user can press <Enter> to move to between the WherePort retrigger pages, or <ESC> to return to the previous menu. Anytime the tag enters the field of a different WherePort, the blinks and retrigger from the previous WherePort are aborted and the process begins for the new WherePort. Figure 14 shows the flow diagram of the blinks and retrigger for one WherePort. Figure 15 shows the available retrigger times. This configuration parameter applies only to tags with ID greater than 17,000,000.

___________________________________________________________________________ WhereWand II User’s Guide ___________________________________________________________________________ 46 WhereWand II User’s Guide D1258 rev A © Copyright WhereNet, Corp. 2002 WhereNet Confidential Most applications will use <F2> or length 27. This will support any WherePort ID between 0 and 32,767. The message also includes the tag response information to select between 72-bit or 152-bit tag blink response. The 15-bit WherePort ID is added to the normal tag blink. The tag’s 4-bit status will always be 1000. This message only works with WhereTag V2.1 tags. <F3> or length 43 will support any WherePort ID between 0 and 32,767. The message also includes the tag response information to select between a 72-bit or 152-bit tag blink response. The 15-bit WherePort ID is added to the normal tag blink. The tag’s 4-bit status will always be 1000. This message also includes limited tag configuration parameters. The parameters include: Number of WherePort Blinks (0 through 15) WherePort Blink Interval (5 seconds to 1 minute) WherePort Retrigger (1 second to 2 minutes, three modes) These parameters will permanently overwrite the existing tag configuration. This message only works with WhereTag V2.1 tags. <F4> or length 143 is used to send the tag 12 bytes of data. The data is the entire WherePort message, so there is no associated WherePort ID in the tag blinks. This message only works with WhereTag V2.1 tags. Figure 35 shows the message length screen.

The maximum power setting 8 will give about a 20 foot range. The minimum power setting 1 will give about a 3 foot range. Care should be taken when setting the power to avoid under covering an area, or over covering an area and having the signal bleed into undesired areas. Figure 37 shows the WherePort power screens. Figure 37: WherePort Power Table 3 outlines the WherePort to Tag range for the power levels. Since the range is dependent on the tag orientation in the WherePort field, the table defines 3 zones. The green zone is the range at which the tag will always see the WherePort, regardless of orientation, as it passes through the zone. The yellow zone will typically work, but the tag may not receive the WherePort message if it is oriented poorly in relation to the field. The red zone is an area that the tag will

The phase of a single WherePort should always be set to 0°. When multiple WherePorts are connected, the first WherePort in the chain should always be set to 0°. WherePorts facing the same direction should have the same phase, and every 90°change in the mounting direction should correspond to a 90° phase change. Figure 38 shows the WherePort phase setting screen. Figure 39 shows an example of the phase setting in a typical multi-WherePort installation.

Since these parameters are written to the tag configuration, they are identical to the parameters described in the tag utilities section of this document. CAUTION: These changes are permanent and will affect the way the tag will respond to all WherePorts until the tag is re-configured with either the WhereWand or another configuring WherePort. The WherePort Blink Count is described in section 4.2.2. The WherePort Blink interval is described in section 4.2.3. The WherePort Retrigger is described in section 4.2.4. The screens are also shown in section 4.2, figures 12 through 14. 5.3.7 Configure WherePort Data Buffer Selecting <I> or <J> from the set WherePort configuration screen allows the user to enter the data sent in WherePort message length 143. The buffer is 12-bytes long and is broken into 2 parts for display purposes. The data is entered in hexadecimal (12 characters per half). Figure 40 shows the screen for entering buffer data.

$___________________________________________________________________________ WhereWand II User’s Guide ___________________________________________________________________________ 54 WhereWand II User’s Guide D1258 rev A © Copyright WhereNet, Corp. 2002 WhereNet Confidential The WhereWand communicates with the Location Sensor by sending DSSS blinks containing the MAC address of the Location Sensor. The first screen the user sees is a prompt for the Location Sensor’s MAC address. This can be manually typed in using the WhereWand keypad, or scan from the Location Sensor bar code label using the WhereWand laser scanner. The bar code label is located on the back of the Location Sensor and in the site design document. Figure 42 shows the MAC address entry screen. Important: If the MAC does not start with 0004F1, all LS operations will result in an error. This is a safety feature to prevent unnecessary transmissions from the WhereWand. Alternately, the user can enter the System Builder ID for that Location Sensor. This will access the file LocationSensors.txt on the WhereWand to get the MAC address. Important: The LocationSensors.txt file should be in directory C:\Program Files\WhereNet\PDT\PDTInstall\link directory prior to running PDT install. Important: This LS configuration operations consume a significant part of the System RF capacity.$
