WHAT TYPES OF ASSETS ARE TO BE TAGGED, AND FOR WHAT PURPOSE?
There is a tradeoff between a tags reporting rates and the amount of time
required to track them. In a situation where there are 500 tags, each reporting
every second, and all within the domain of a single cell controller, the Cell
Controller will have a difficult time tracking the tags quickly. If, however, those
500 tags are reporting in every 3 seconds the Cell Controller will be able to see
all of them far more quickly. Tags can be set to report at a variety of intervals.
For assets which need to be closely monitored, like notebook computers, faster
reporting will probably be required. If an asset does not need to be closely
monitored, the Cell Controller will have an easier time tracking tags if the tag
reporting time is larger. The tag reporting time is technically referred to as its
chirp time. More detailed documentation on chirp times and how they affect Cell
Controller behavior is available in the Tag Specification in Section 3 of this man-
ual.
ARE THE CLIENT SYSTEMS ABLE TO RUN THE VIEWPOINT CLIENT SOFTWARE?
The client systems must be running with the minimum characteristics described
in the Equipment Descriptions and Specifications.
IS THE INFRASTRUCTURE PREPARED FOR THE 3D-ID COMPONENTS?
A great deal of infrastructure work can be done later in the process. But it
should be understood that existing ethernet and power drops, as well as prede-
fined routes which are setup for cabling can greatly simplify the installation pro-
cedure.
