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.

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.

Repeat step 1 through step 3 to add a third slave Smart Device, if applicable.Configuring Smart Devices for Path LinkingIn order for the master Smart Device to link paths across multiple Smart Devices, the master Smart Device must know where the slave Smart Devices are located within the real world space. This is done by using marker points that can be seen across two Smart Devices. Use the following steps to mark intersecting points on the Smart Devices.1. Identify a point of interest that can be seen in two Smart Devices.2. Click on this point in the image of each Smart Device in the bottom portion of the web page. The mark will be highlighted on the virtual floor plan in the upper portion of the web page.
