User Manual 3000 SERIES 3rd GENERATION ACTIVE RFID 1 1.1 Preface What is 3rd Generation Active RFID? First there was conventional active RFID where a battery in the tag permits it to initiate a signal, give longer range, manage a sensor or otherwise improve on the capability of a passive RFID tag. Second generation active RFID is the Real Time Locating System (RTLS) where people or things are located almost continuously from 30-300 meters away, usually by using many emitters.

User Manual 3000 SERIES 3rd GENERATION ACTIVE RFID 2 Introduction This Ambient Systems 3000-Series User Manual describes how to use Ambient Systems products. This manual covers the complete 3000-Series product range and includes Gateways, MicroRouters and SmartPoints. The 3000-Series network products can operate stand-alone. Ambient Studio can be used for deployment, configuration and maintenance of the network.
User Manual 3000 SERIES 3rd GENERATION ACTIVE RFID 3 Product Overview The 3000-Series products provide a 3rd Generation Active RFID system based on Ambient wireless multi-hop mesh network technology. An Ambient network consists of GateWays (GW), MicroRouters (MR), and SmartPoints (SP). GWs and MRs are normally powered by mains. They have a rechargeable back-up power supply that takes over in case of a temporary power blackout. Battery warnings of such an event are given immediately.

User Manual 3000 SERIES 3rd GENERATION ACTIVE RFID 4 Ambient Network This section explains what an Ambient Network is and where it consists of. 4.1 Nodes An Ambient Network consists of a number of so-called 'nodes'. A combination of these nodes are used to build an Ambient Network. As mentioned before, there are three (3) types of nodes which are the Master Gateway, the MicroRouter, and the SmartPoint. A Gateway is considered to be a Master Gateway unless indicated otherwise.
User Manual 3000 SERIES 3rd GENERATION ACTIVE RFID Illustration 2: Example Ambient network layout with Hop Counts and Wired PC As mentioned before, an Ambient network is a multi-hop network. Each GW and MR in the network has a so-called hop count value. This value represents the number of times a message needs to be forwarded by other MRs, to reach the GW. Hop counts are measured from the GW. The GW has hop count 0. MRs in direct communication range of the GW are on hop 1.
User Manual 3000 SERIES 3rd GENERATION ACTIVE RFID 5 Installation This section will guide you through the installation process. Placement of the GWs, MRs and SPs is very important. The performance (range) of radio products is influenced by the objects which are located between sender and receiver. This is explained in more detail in the next sections. 5.1 Before you Begin Below is a list of items to consider before you begin the installation process.
User Manual 3000 SERIES 3rd GENERATION ACTIVE RFID generate RF noise. 5. If you are using 2.4 GHz cordless phones, WLAN, or X-10 (wireless products such as ceiling fans, lights, and home security systems), your wireless connection may degrade dramatically or drop completely. Make sure your 2.4 GHz phone base is as far away from your wireless nodes as possible. The base station transmits a signal even if the phone is not in use. 6.
User Manual 3000 SERIES 3rd GENERATION ACTIVE RFID When the installer wizard appears, follow the on-screen instructions in order to install Ambient Studio like you would with any other Windows software. During installation you can cancel the process at any time by pressing 'Cancel'. 5.4 5.4.1 Getting Started: Nodes Gateway GW3000 When installing a GW30001, first make sure that you have the right device, it should state GW3000 on the label, followed by a hardware version ID (see Illustration 4).

User Manual 3000 SERIES 3rd GENERATION ACTIVE RFID 5.4.3 SmartPoint SP3000 The SP3000 does not require separate installation. It is 'always-on', meaning that when it wakes up from its deep-sleep mode1 and it hears a network it will become a part of the network. Please take into account that upon arrival, the SmartPoints are likely to be in a deep sleep mode to save energy during transport. Once you have turned on your network, it can take up to two hours for all SPs to awake2.
User Manual 3000 SERIES 3rd GENERATION ACTIVE RFID 6 Configuration This section discusses the configuration of the Ambient Systems 3000 series network through Ambient Studio. Please, refer to Section 4.3 or Ambient Studio User Manual for installing Ambient Studio. Throughout this section, we assume that Ambient Studio is successfully installed and is running. 6.
User Manual 3000 SERIES 3rd GENERATION ACTIVE RFID Ambient Studio and your network. The Serial Port Configuration dialogue is opened by clicking the menu entry: Connectivity → Serial Port → Configure. This dialogue can be used to add, remove and rename serial aliases, as well as open and close individual aliases. For every serial alias specific settings can be set. Ambient Studio will automatically fill in standard settings required to open a connection to a GW3000.
User Manual 3000 SERIES 3rd GENERATION ACTIVE RFID For your convenience, you can rename '' to e.g. 'My GW3000'. Press 'OK' to apply your changes to the Serial Port configuration. 6.1.3 Checking the connection between Ambient Studio and your GW3000 Illustration 15: Serial tab, connected Gateway The Serial Devices tab in Ambient Studio is used to display information of the currently connected serial devices to your system. Press the refresh button to show up-to-date information.
User Manual 3000 SERIES 3rd GENERATION ACTIVE RFID 3.Status shows “Online“. This is illustrated in Illustration 15. If the connection between Ambient Studio and the GW3000 is not successful, please check the Troubleshooting section of this document. 6.2 Set date and time All devices in the Series 3000 network have built-in clocks that keep track of the date and time. When devices report for example temperature readings, timestamps are included with the temperature samples.
User Manual 3000 SERIES 3rd GENERATION ACTIVE RFID Note: It can take up to two hours1 before all SmartPoints report in new deployments. MicroRouters needs to be powered by mains before they report. Illustration 16: Circular network view •Check if all nodes have acceptable link qualities – You can check link qualities between nodes by looking at the colouring of nodes and lines between them. See Chapter 6 for more information on deploying a network.
User Manual 3000 SERIES 3rd GENERATION ACTIVE RFID 6.4 Enabling built-in backup batteries When Gateways and MicroRouters are shipped, their backup battery has been disabled. You have to enable the backup battery to make sure that the Series 3000 network remains functional during short power shortage. You need to perform this action only once per Gateway or MicroRouter. Note: The backup battery must be enabled once to keep the network functional during short mains outages. To enable the backup battery: 1.
User Manual 3000 SERIES 3rd GENERATION ACTIVE RFID website. Please take a look at this document for more detailed information. The text in this section discusses only localization set-up. Illustration 17: tree view of available drivers 6.5.1 localization deployment. Deploying a 3000 Series localization network is similar in many aspects to deploying a regular network for e.g. temperature monitoring or inventory management.
User Manual 3000 SERIES 3rd GENERATION ACTIVE RFID Illustration 18: Power driver of Gateway/Microrouter 6.5.2 Place Gateway and MicroRouters First you need to physically place and mount the Gateway and the MicroRouters in the localization environment. Take into account the following additional considerations: ● SmartPoints have to be surrounded by Gateways and MicroRouters otherwise localization will not work correctly.
User Manual 3000 SERIES 3rd GENERATION ACTIVE RFID Ideally this means that antennas of GWs and MRs are oriented vertically, and that SmartPoints are mounted upright, i.e. when holding the SmartPoint in one hand with your arm outstretched, you should be able to correctly read the Ambient logo. ● 6.5.3 Ensure that SmartPoints are in range of at least four infrastructure devices.
User Manual 3000 SERIES 3rd GENERATION ACTIVE RFID Illustration 19: Map tab of Ambient Studio with example floor plan and infrastructure devices 6.5.4 Enable localization of SmartPoints In order to enable SmartPoints to locate themselves, you have to activate their location engine driver. The 'Drivers' tab of Ambient Studio can be used to do that. Perform the following steps to configure the localization engine: 1. In the left network tree control select a SmartPoint. 2.
User Manual 3000 SERIES 3rd GENERATION ACTIVE RFID Illustration 20: Setting parameters of SmartPoint Localization Engine in Ambient Studio The parameters of the localization engine consists of the following: ● active_mode Selects whether localisation is switched off, or the position or measurement mode is selected. Default value: off. ○ Position This parameter enables the SmartPoint to perform RSS measurements for centralized calculation. Only X,Y,Z and timestamp values are pushed.
User Manual 3000 SERIES 3rd GENERATION ACTIVE RFID Default value: 32. ● setup_number This parameter is used for identification purposes when performing RSS measurements. The setup number can be used to identify, for example, groups of SmartPoints based on their configuration. In normal circumstances you will not use this parameter at all. Default value: 0. Once you have enabled localization, you will immediately start receiving position updates from SmartPoints.
User Manual 3000 SERIES 3rd GENERATION ACTIVE RFID 6.8.1 Range alarms Range alarms are generated based on the absolute measured temperature. The measured temperature is compared to the range specified by MINrange and MAXrange. If the temperature is not less than MINrange and not greater than MAXrange the temperature is in range. If the temperature is less than MINrange it is below range and if it is greater than MAXrange it is above range.
User Manual 3000 SERIES 3rd GENERATION ACTIVE RFID The change range has a hysteresis value Hc. This value is relative to the MINchange and MAXchange thresholds. In the case that the temperature change was outside the specified range the change of temperature of the next sample must be at least Hc degrees beyond the MINchange or MAXchange threshold to be considered in range again.

User Manual 3000 SERIES 3rd GENERATION ACTIVE RFID change hysteresis 6.9 -2048 +2047 1.0 Hysteresis value of the alarm temperature change range in degrees Celsius per sample period Logging and flushing In dynamic environments where SmartPoints enter and leave the network, the log and flush drivers can be used to retrieve all 'missing' samples/measurements. For example, when a SmartPoint is attached to a truck, all temperature measurements are lost when the SmartPoint is not in range of the network.
User Manual 3000 SERIES 3rd GENERATION ACTIVE RFID is 11:1. Select whether only pushes, alerts or both message types have to be logged. This is illustrated in Illustration 24. Secondly, the flush functionality has to be configured. Select 0:System, 12:Logger and 1:SetFlushConfig for the same SmartPoint. Select direction 'oldest first', select logindex 0 and select flush_push and flush_alert. This is illustrated in Illustration 25.
User Manual 3000 SERIES 3rd GENERATION ACTIVE RFID Illustration 25: Setting the flush driver 6.10 Coexisting Networks At this moment two (or more) networks cannot run at the same physical location. Both networks will use the same frequency. Radio messages will collide and routers will (likely) lose their connection with the gateway. The delivery rate of the SmartPoint will likely drop and it might be possible that messages are coming in via both(all) gateways.

User Manual 3000 SERIES 3rd GENERATION ACTIVE RFID 7 Deployment As with every wireless technology, deploying the devices physically in the environment requires considerations of environmental parameters like thickness and material of walls, metal objects, glass (coated) windows, people moving around, environmental conditions such as temperature and humidity, doors; they all influence radio wave propagation. WSNs are not an exception to this rule.
User Manual 3000 SERIES 3rd GENERATION ACTIVE RFID 7.2 Deployment Planning Although an Ambient network is built up from the GW outward, a deployment planning is built up the other way around; starting from the SPs. As SPs have a shorter range than infrastructure nodes, they determine the positions where infrastructure nodes should be placed. In order for SPs to communicate with an MR, it needs to be in range of the MR. Mark the locations on the sitemap that require network coverage, i.e.
User Manual 3000 SERIES 3rd GENERATION ACTIVE RFID always a path to the GW for each MR. Ensure that the GW has at least 3 hop 1 connections to reduce the chance of bottlenecks. Plan additional MRs between MRs that are expected to be too far apart.
User Manual 3000 SERIES 3rd GENERATION ACTIVE RFID The aforementioned bottleneck is a typical Infrastructure bottleneck and can easily be avoided by placing additional MRs around the problem area. Avoid Infrastructure bottlenecks by all means. 7.2.2 SP Load Bottleneck Another type of bottleneck can be introduced by SPs, but these are a bit harder to find and depend heavily on the configuration of an SP. By default, a SP3000 will send a message every 5 minutes.
User Manual 3000 SERIES 3rd GENERATION ACTIVE RFID Illustration 28: Example SP Load calculations, with every SP default at load 1, every Infrastructure node combination of its own SP load and additional accumulative SP Load Now using the default SP values, a SP load of 1 means '1 message per 5 minutes'. If we convert this to the number of messages per second, we get the value 1 / (5 * 60) = 0.003 messages per second. A single MR-SP link is capable of handling 2 messages per second by default.
User Manual 3000 SERIES 3rd GENERATION ACTIVE RFID It should be noted, however, that there is a chance that SPs do not consume the beacons provided by the Infrastructure nodes in a evenly distributed way, so some margin for error needs to be taken into account. Calculate the accumulative SP load to identify potential congestion bottlenecks! If an accumulative SP Load nears the maximum network bandwidth, place additional Infrastructure nodes to introduce additional bandwidth! 7.
User Manual 3000 SERIES 3rd GENERATION ACTIVE RFID Illustration 29: LED Behaviour for the Gateway and MicroRouter If the MR remains in start up phase 4, it means that it does not hear any network. Ensure that the SMA antenna is fitted correctly and that you are within range of another active node (e.g. the GW). If the MR remains in start up phase 5 and then goes back to 4, it means that it did hear a network, but could not join. This can be due to various reasons.
User Manual 3000 SERIES 3rd GENERATION ACTIVE RFID SmartPoint and its available links to neighbouring Infrastructure nodes. It is placed correctly when all the indicated RSSI values of all links are -80 or higher (i.e less negative numbers). 7.4 7.4.1 A Few More Pointers Placing a Gateway As said before, always start network deployment by placing the GW. The optimal place for the GW is in the center of the network. A small example in Illustration 30 gives an idea why this is so important.
User Manual 3000 SERIES 3rd GENERATION ACTIVE RFID Network A is a connected network of 5 MRs. It is somewhat shaped as a straight line. However, there are not many paths available and this network could suffer from bottlenecks. There are in total 6 connections. The GW has only 1 hop 1 connection. There are 3 potential bottlenecks. In network B two additional MRs are placed at strategic locations. Placing them in such a way you introduce 7 more connections, bringing the total to 13.
User Manual 3000 SERIES 3rd GENERATION ACTIVE RFID 8 Example Deployments In this section we address a few example deployments and take you through the necessary steps required to deploy a network. It can be used as a reference for creating your own Deployment Plan and the installation after that. 8.1 Example: Office Building As indicated in the previous sections, we start with an empty map (see Illustration 32). We visually inspected the site and found plenty of locations for mounting the MRs.

Verify that it equals the version shown in step 2 of this section. MicroRouter In order to upload a new firmware image to the MircoRouter, two approaches can be chosen The file upload approach as described above and the Data Dissemination approach. 9.2.
User Manual 3000 SERIES 3rd GENERATION ACTIVE RFID system is full, delete some large files. The upload should go relative fast (30-60 seconds). 2. Select the uploaded File in the File list and press the 'Disseminate Selected File' button (see Illustration 40). Illustration 40: Dissemination button in order to disseminate a file to all routers 9.3 3. Go to the Dissemination panel on the bottom of the screen(File interaction). The gateway will disseminate the file to maximum 4 MicroRouters.
User Manual 3000 SERIES 3rd GENERATION ACTIVE RFID When Switching to the 'gateway' network in the maintenance tab, one should see the updated SmartPoint with the new firmware version. If multiple SmartPoints have to be updated/upgraded a separated tool, the mass updater, can be used as this tool runs unattended. This tool is described in the the white paper 'using the mass updater' which can be found on the support website or by sending an email to support@ambientsystems.net. 9.

User Manual 3000 SERIES 3rd GENERATION ACTIVE RFID 11.2 Appendix B: Networking Basics This chapter is intended as an introduction to wireless mesh networking in general and to an Ambient network in specific. For a detailed overview please look at the White Paper “Ambient 3000Series Network”. 11.2.1 Wireless Sensor Networks An Ambient network is classified as a so-called Wireless Sensor Network (WSN). WSNs typically consist of small devices, called sensor nodes.
User Manual 3000 SERIES 3rd GENERATION ACTIVE RFID 11.2.3 Energy-Efficient The network is energy-efficient. Nodes maximize their sleep time - and therefore increase battery lifetime - by communicating only at certain tightly synchronized time intervals. An important reason for this energyefficiency stems from the underlying network principles applied in Ambient networks.
User Manual 3000 SERIES 3rd GENERATION ACTIVE RFID A rule of thumb should be that each SmartPoint should be in reach of at least 3 MRs at any given time. 68/73 Ambient Systems B.V.
