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. You can use Ambient Studio to visualize this information. In the 'map' tab in Ambient
Studio the SmartPoints are displayed. When you select the 'User View' option Gateways,
MicroRouters and SmartPoints are displayed with their virtual coordinates. If any new position
information is received, the SmartPoint will be redrawn to resemble its location in real-life.
6.6 DNCP
Dynamic Network Configuration protocol, or DNCP for short is the protocol for assigning slots to
the MicroRouters. A MicroRouters needs at least one slot for proper operation. This protocol is
hosted by the GateWay. With the DNCP driver, slots can be made static and multiple slots can be
assigned to MicroRouters. It is not advised to change device without consulting Ambient Systems
support. Contact [e-mail] for more information.
6.7 Security
Contact [e-mail] regarding the security features of the 3000 Series.
6.8 Temperature monitoring
SmartPoints SP3000 have built-in temperature sensors that sense the ambient temperature of the
device. The sensors have been pre-calibrated in order to provide accurate temperature readings. The
behaviour of the temperature monitoring capabilities of the SP3000 can be controlled through the
Temperature DDI driver. This section describes how the temperature driver can be configured to
meet your requirements. By default, SPs report temperature once every 5 minutes.
The following alerts are generated by the temperature DDI driver:
● Temperature range: An alert range can be set and an alert will be generated when the
temperature is in the alert range. Or an alert can be generated when temperature is outside
the range. E.g. food needs to be stored between +2°C and +7°C. When temperature is lower
than +2°C OR higher than +7°C, an alert should be given.
● Temperature change: An alert can be generated when the temperature changes more rapid
than a given range. E.g. a greenhouse is heated to +30°C. Due to fluctuations of the heating
system, the temperature drifts up to 3°C in 5 minutes, but when a door is left open, the
temperature changes more than 0°C to 3°C in 5 minutes and an alert should be generated.
● Combination: Range and change alerts can be combined. E.g. food needs to be stored
between +2°C and +7°C and temperature might not fluctuate more than 2°C per 5 minutes.
The following sections explain the two types of alarms in more detail.
