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.
● Ensure that SmartPoints are in range of at least four infrastructure devices.
6.5.3 Set coordinates of Gateway & MicroRouters
After you have deployed your 3000 Series network you need to configure the positions of the
Gateway and MicroRouters in/with Ambient Studio so they match the physical real-life position of
the devices in the deployment area. Please make sure you read the 3000 Series Ambient Studio User
Manual for detailed information. This requires the following steps:
1. In Ambient Studio, navigate to the 'map' tab.
2. Load a map of the localization area.
3. Drag Gateway and MicroRouters to coordinates on the map that match their real-life
positions and send it to the device by pressing the 'Set Position' button (red flag). Make sure
their real-life position matches the position in Ambient Studio as best as possible.
4. Optionally, you can set the position of the device by using the Node Information dialogue:
right-click on any device to open the dialogue.
1. Navigate to the 'Localization' tab.
2. Fill in the real-life position of the device in the provided fields.
3. Press the 'Set Position' button to commit the position to the device.
The accuracy of the 3000 Series localization system depends on the MicroRouter density. For
example, for room level localization accuracy the MicroRouters are best positioned in each room, or
every other room. Also, you should take care when dealing with support walls which often
surround (emergency) staircases. It is advised to place additional MicroRouters in such areas.
