Increasing the wireless range of the loggers with repeaters when patrolling (in

Professional mode only)

8.2 Installing the wireless extension

Before the wireless extension via repeaters can be set up, the logger concerned must

already be programmed and installed at its place of use.

Proceed on location as follows:

Step Description

Select the symbol in the main menu and the

Connect Repeater to Logger button in the next view.

If this button is not shown, the current workgroup is probably not a “Patrol”

group. In this case you must first specify a new workgroup (see page 45).

Result: The loggers in the workgroup are listed.

If necessary, you can call up another logger group using the drop-down list at

the very top of the screen.

Select the logger list and then the logger to be connected to the repeater. If the

respective reader is already preset, apply the “Select Repeater” button.

Result: A window for registering the repeater in the Commander automatically

opens on the screen.

Use one of these two methods to register the repeater:

Automatic detection: Move the

switched off repeater close to the

Commander and switch it on. Once the

repeater is detected, New ID found

appears on the screen. The ID of the

repeater is displayed underneath. Use

the Accept button to confirm.

Manual input: Enter the repeater’s six-

digit ID with the virtual keyboard. Use

the ENTER button to confirm.

Result: The following display opens on the screen:

This display can be used to test the quality of the wireless connection between

the logger and repeater and to find a suitable location for the repeater.
