Configuration
It is suggested that you use the utility to configure your Proximity Locator before you mount it on a wall or
other surface. The steps for initial configuration of an A760 Proximity Locator are described below:
1. Launch the Utility
Ensure that the A760 Proximity Locator is connected to the PC through the USB cable and launch the
Proximity Locator Utility software.
2. View Manufacturing Default Settings
The Proximity Locator Utility GUI will open and the Device Details section should display the status, model
number, the version of the firmware installed on the device, and the device’s serial number. If the Status
reports Disconnected, the device may need to be discovered by selecting the Device > Select device menu
item. A window will appear. Click the Discover button. The utility will discover any A760’s that are
connected to the PC. Select the device from the drop-down list and click the OK button. The A760
will display default values for Proximity Code and other settings set during manufacturing time.
If the utility does not show any A760’s connected, unplug the USB cable to the device(s), wait 10
seconds and plug the USB cable back into the device.
3. Proximity Code
Under the Settings section the Proximity Code field will determine what will be transmitted from the A760
to the RF Code reader infrastructure. It can be configured to transmit proximity code values ranging from
decimal 0001 to 9999.
