Option 2 – Tamper Switch Pressed against Surface
(with Cradle)
In this case, the tamper switch passes through the cradle’s slit and is pressed
against the surface on which the cradle is fixed. If the cradle or the tag is
removed, the anti-tampering mechanism issues an alert.
1. Remove the tamper adaptor from the cradle (if installed).
2. Fix the cradle.
3. Insert the long switch into the hole at the tag’s back.
4. Place the tag in the cradle making sure that the switch is properly
pressed against the surface through the cradle’s upper slit.

Managing Tags Using AeroScout Tag Manager
The AeroScout T3-BD tag can be configured, programmed and activated
via a wireless interface (including anti-tampering device enabling). This is
done with the help of the AeroScout Tag Manager version 4.0 (and later)
and the AeroScout Tag Activator.
In addition, Tag Manager is used to activate and deactivate tags and to
program stored messages on the tags.
The Tag Manager functions can also be activated via APIs that enable easy
integration with third-party applications.
Please refer to AeroScout Tag Manager User Guide.
Automatic Tag management Through the Wi-Fi
Network
The AeroScout T3-BD tag’s configuration can be managed automatically
through the Wi-Fi network. This is possible due to the tag’s bidirectional
communication abilities.
This is done by creating a configuration file using the AeroScout Tag
Manager and saving it, and then loading it into the AeroScout Bidirectional
Tag Controller application. This application can automatically update the
configuration to all the tags in the site, through the Wi-Fi network. The
actual update will take as much time as the interval set into the tag for
periodic network association.
