Page 4 of 7 AT UG 081103 AKB Introduction The AeroScout™ Location Receiver is a component of the AeroScout wireless LAN location platform, which adds accurate location capabilities to a Wi-Fi™ wireless network. The AeroScout architecture stands out in several ways: • No modifications to mobile unit hardware or software. AeroScout works with standard laptops, PDAs, barcode scanners and other Wi-Fi™ wireless devices. This eliminates a major management challenge and enables simple implementation in public environments. • No dedicated backbone network. All communications between Location Receivers and the AeroScout Location Server use standard Ethernet connections and AeroScout achieves accurate measurement synchronization without the use of a dedicated network. • Locates equipment that is not Wi-Fi enabled. Small, battery-powered AeroScout Tags can be attached to a variety of equipment, such as medical devices, containers and shopping carts. • Open development platform. The AeroScout System includes a set of tools for designing, testing and implementing enterprise-class location-based applications. The Aeroscout Location Receiver (BWH1000-02) includes a Wi-Fi radio module and a powerful TOA processor, typically installed alongside standard access points and remotely configurable from the AeroScout Administration Console. Approximately the size of a small access point, Location Receivers include an external antenna connector and a Power-over-Ethernet adaptor. The Location Receivers can work over a wireless bridge to avoid the need for a wired Ethernet connection. Figure 1 – AeroScout system

Status – Red LED indicating the status of the Location Receiver as follows: • Blinking Mode 1 – the LED is blinking in 1 second duty cycle: 1. The unit was not configured by the Location Engine. 2. Unit configured but doesn't receive 802.11b messages. • Blinking Mode 2 – Normal mode, the LED blinks shortly on each correct received and decoded 802.11b message. 3. POWER – Green LED indicating that the unit is connected to power. Installation: Location Receivers communicate with the AeroScout Location Server via standard Ethernet or wirelessly over a Wi-Fi network – no dedicated location network cabling is required. Location Receivers also support Power over Ethernet, eliminating costly electrical installation. Configuration is simple, as well: The installer executes all setup tasks from the Location Server’s System Manager software, which records the placement of a Location Receiver with a single mouse click.
