(FKR3RLQW6LJQSRVW,QVWDOODWLRQ*XLGH ,QWURGXFWLRQ 1 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.

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/offThe 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.

Power levelGenerally, the maximum setting of 1023 is used, but this number can be decreased 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 modeThe Tx mode should be set to normal mode.6. StatusThe version should be verified so that all Signposts are compatible with the system.
