2 Prerequisites and Site Planning
Before starting AfiAct II installation, verify that all pre-requisites are fulfilled:
1. Reader mounting point
: Identify a proper location for AfiAct II Reader, see 2.1
2. Verify network coverage
in the required area, see 2.2
Note: It is highly recommended that the network technician be present
during the Reader installation.
3. Verify existing AfiFarm version and system deployment
(this is relevant for
farms using both systems), see
2.3
4. Validate AfiAct II PC
corresponds with the requirements, see 2.4
2.1 Determine Reader Mounting Location
Determining optional Reader mounting points is done by the Dealer technicians. To
do this, either get a scheme of the shed dimensions from the farmer (including
poles, electricity outlets, distance from the office, etc.), OR visit the farm before the
installation to perform a site survey.
The farmer receives from the dealer a list/scheme showing the optional mounting
points, and the required coverage radius. It is the farmer’s responsibility to provide
coverage in these points.
NOTE
To determine the system sampling sessions during the installation,
investigate the specific site needs. This can be performed during the
preparations phase, or during the installation, see 4.3.2.
