AeroScout EX5100 Exciter
EX5100 Hardware 6
Tag behavior modification:
The EX5100 can wirelessly active and deactivate tags. Tag battery life can be
extended further by switching the tags off when they leave a defined tracking area
through a gate or doorway.
It is also possible to configure the Exciter to change of tag transmission rate
temporarily or indefinitely to accommodate different usage patterns in various
physical spaces.
Message Programming functions
The EX5100 has the ability to store messages on the tag for later transmission.
Message transmission can later be triggered by other EX5100s, enabling
sophisticated process control functions.
EX5100 can trigger a tag to:
 transmit up to 15 bytes of data sent to it by the EX5100;
 transmit one of 15 pre-stored messages;
 transmit and store up to 15 bytes of data sent to it by the EX5100.
Network connectivity
Enables remote programming, monitoring and software updates by the AeroScout
Engine. In addition, the EX5100 can work in offline mode disconnected from the
network, thus eliminating the need for a physical network feed. In this mode, remote
configuration and monitoring is not enabled.
