Hardware Guide

1. SETTING UP DEVICES & RF NETWORK
Rest of the manual guides you through the steps necessary for setting up and configuring your
Wipelot devices. Please read this manual before system setup.
1.1. Safety
The device must be used solely with its original power adaptor. Please note that the adapter is
110/220V AC
1.2. Introduction
Wipelot devices are based on 2.4GHZ IEEE 802.15.4 compliant RF wireless network. To form a
minimal 802.15.4 RF Network, you should have at least 1-Router, 1-Reader and Mobile Devices.
Main coordinator (router) establishes a mesh network once it is installed. Each plugged reader
(receiver), attends this network automatically and relays data for the network. All reader nodes
cooperate in the distribution of data in the network.
Wipelot’s small sized newborn baby tag is affixed to the ankle of the newborn infant to be tracked.
The tag contains an RF transmitter circuit. It transmits message signal, comprising unique identity
information, to receivers which are strategically placed within the hospital. The message is
propagated along a path by hopping from node to node until it reaches the port wihch is being
listened by the Location Provider Service software.
Location Provider Software calculates tags’ positions by using RSSI (received signal strength
indicator) levels, dimensions of the region to be tracked and fixed position information of the receivers
on that region.
