3 Configuration After Initial Activation
The tag can be adjusted for each application and network settings by adjusting a set of parameters.
The parameters can be changed wirelessly after resetting the tag by using the Ekahau Activator
software or through Tag Configurations in Ekahau RTLS Controller.
Ekahau Activator is used for configuring the initial configuration settings that allows connecting
the tag to ERC over the network. After connection is established with ERC, all configurations can
be managed through Ekahau RTLS Controller.

uration to multiple tags. After the tags are activated, the configurations are applied to tags from
