GENERATION ACTIVE RFID
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. One possibility is that it can not obtain a good link
to the nearest active Infrastructure node. Try a different position closer to the nearest active
Infrastructure node and retry the procedure.
Always place the GW and MR as far away from obstacles as possible!
Prevent placing GWs and MRs in corners of ceilings and walls!
When placing GWs and MRs high on walls and ceilings, ensure you have taken
all safety measures possible!
7.3.2 Mounting a SmartPoint
A SP is mounted easily. There are several ways to go about this: 1) simply place it at the intended
location without fixing it, or 2) use the single-screw hole and fix it by screwing it to the surface of a
wall or object. For different ways of mounting, check our website.
Make sure you use screws of 4 mm or less. If you use screws thicker than that, you can damage the
enclosure.
Once the SP is in place, check with Ambient Studio that it is reporting data and has a good
connection. You can confirm this by navigating to the 'Map' component tab and exploring the tree
view to the left of the screen. Your SP will show up in the tree. Additionally, you can request its link
quality by pushing the button 'Request Link Information from SmartPoints'. It may take some time
for the response to arrive (by default, up to 5 minutes), but now the Map will also show the
51/73 Ambient Systems B.V.
