8 Step #6 – Installing the Tags
Tags are attached to equipment to be tracked.
Prior to installing Tags, you should have an equipment list describing what the
customer wants Tagged, with approximate quantities for each. Equipment to be
Tagged should stay in the coverage area or it will not be found.
Prior to installing Tags, the Sensors, Appliance, and Bridges must be correctly
installed.
For some installations, the Tags are added to the system before the site visit. Before
adding Tags, you should check to see if they are already in the system.
T1 Tags are being phased out. They should be replaced with T2 Tags when possible.
8.1 Awarepoint Tags
There are several models of Tags.
Figure 60 - T1 Tag
Figure 61 - T2-A Tag
The top of the Tag is a movable slider that is used to send a signal to the Awarepoint
Appliance. When the slider is changed, the Tag will transmit a message to the
Appliance indicating the new status of the slider (red or green). This is NOT an on/off
switch – the Tag is always “on.” When the slider is changed, the new status is
displayed on the Light Emitting Diode (LED) on the T1 only.
