i. Using This Documentation This installation guide explains how to set-up and install the LEO-D ePaper Display Solution. This document is written for technicians, system administrators, authorized service providers, and users who have limited computer experience.
1 LEO-D Application Installation - Overview The following task-list needs to be completed for a full LEO-D ePaper Display Solution installation.
2 System Hardware Components and Features This section describes the components, indicators and connectors for the system. 2.1 Shipping Inventory Inspect the shipping cartons for evidence of physical damage. If a shipping carton appears damaged, request that the carrier’s agent be present when the carton is opened. Keep all contents and packing material for the agent’s inspection.
2.2 Access Point(USM-D62) The Access Point has a wired connection to the base station (computer) and communicates wirelessly with the Router(s) via the proprietary Platanus protocol. The Access Point supports up to a total of 15 Routers and has an operating range from 0m to 100m; please refer to Section 2.6 System Hardware Deployment for guidance on the correct positioning of your Access Point. 2.2.
Access Point - Network Port GREEN network activity indicator—turns on when a cable connects the port to another Gigabit Ethernet port YELLOW activity indicator—Flashes to indicate network activity over that port Attach included Antenna Plug one end of the supplied Cat 5E cable into the Access Point, the other end should be plugged into your computer. Connect the supplied AC power adaptor as shown. Use only the adapter that came with your Access Point.
2.3 Router(USM-D64) The Router(s) operate wirelessly, via the proprietary Platanus protocol, with the Access Point and ESL Tags. Each Router supports up to a total of 1000 ESL Tags and has an operating range up to 100m; please refer to Section 2.6 System Hardware Deployment for guidance on the correct positioning of your Router. 2.3.
When connecting to a network and under average RSSI qualification by Daemon When the Router reaches its maximum carrying capacity, e.g. connection with 1,000 tags When connected to network but the RSSI falls below -80dBm Will flash quickly when the Router loses connection with the network, duration 30 minutes Attach included Antenna Connect the included AC power adaptor as shown. Use only the adapter that came with your Router.
2.4 Tag(s) LEO-D31 2.9” ePaper Display Size (W x H x T): 92.6mm x 45mm x 10.3mm Active display area (W x H): 66.9mm x 29.06mm LEO-D51 5.65” ePaper Display Size (W x H x T): 140.8mm x 114mm x 16.5mm Active display area (W x H): 114.9mm x 85.
2.5 Preparing for Installation This section provides the information you need to prepare for the application installation. 2.5.1 Equipment Needed for Installation The LEO-D Device Manager utilizes a Web-based Configuration Utility for optimum performance we recommend the following; Desktop/Tower computer o Windows OS (Windows 7, 8, 10 or Windows Server 2012) o Microsoft .NET Framework version 3.5 or later o CPU x86 64-bit 2.
2.6 System Hardware Deployment 2.6.1 Positioning your Access Point and Router(s) The access point and routers together form the wireless network through which your wireless ESL tags will operate; correct placement is essential to ensure that you stay within the operating range of the access point and router(s). Keep in mind, however, that the number, thickness and location of walls, ceilings, or other objects that the wireless signals must pass through, may limit the range.
ROUTER TAG WIRELESS (Sub-GHz) MAX 100m Actual operating range is subject to adherence with positioning guidelines given in previous section Confidential and Proprietary 14
2.7 Computer Configuration for LEO-D ePaper Display Soultion Installation It can be seen in the diagram below that the system architecture consists of several key components; a single or multiple Access Points, several Routers, multiple End Devices (LEO-D tags) and the Platanus Daemon program running on a desktop. This LEO-D Device Manager installation is designed to use either a static IP address for a single Access Point or a dynamic IP address when multiple Access Points are installed. 2.7.
On your computer open the Control Panel – Network and Internet – Network and Sharing Center Using your computer mouse, click on Ethernet Select Properties Select Internet Protocol Version 4 (TCP/IPv4), and select Properties Check Use the following IP address and enter information shown above. Select OK to apply new settings (All open windows can now be closed) 2.7.
3 Web-based ELSA-M Installation 3.1 Software Installation On your computer go to the Windows Downloads folder and locate the ELSA-M executable file, (Please note; filename shown is an example, actual build number 1.0 (594) maybe different). Double-click file to begin the installation. You may be asked for permission to allow the program to make changes to your computer; you must agree to this to enable installation to start.

Creation of a desktop icon is optional; Click Next> to continue Click Install to continue Confidential and Proprietary 19
During this stage of the installation it is highly likely that your computer screen may change color (Blue) and that a new dialogue pop-up box will appear. DON’T PANIC! Whilst extracting the files required for the installation the ELSA-M program checks your computer to ensure that it has the core Python 2.7 libraries and modules installed, if it does not find them it will automatically redirect you to the Python 2.7 install page (That’s the blue screen you maybe currently seeing).
Nothing to do here please be patient.
It is necessary for you to check I accept the agreement before the Next> button becomes active. Click Next> to continue wxPython3.0-py27 is the additional software that works with the core Python2.7 program.
Please accept the dialogue box recommendations as shown above Click Next> to continue Almost done please be patient.
It is not necessary to view the README.win32.txt file, but we add the option here for IT and System Administrators who wish to review it. For most users this can be un-checked.
The ELSA-M Demo Web Portal has now been installed on your computer and you should now be able to locate this icon (for launching the application) on your computer screen. You are now ready to launch the ELSA-M Demo Web application.
4 Setting Up the ELSA-M Web Portal Ensure that your ELSA-M Access Point is connected to your computer that the Router(s) and tags are installed throughout your premises and are powered on. NOTE: All tags must be “awake” prior to starting the ELSA-M web portal for the first time. 4.1 ELSA-M Start-Up Tasks On your desktop double-click on the ELSA-M icon to launch the application service.
Please check the box for Private networks and then “Allow access” On your computer desktop locate the hidden icons on your Windows task bar, (the up arrow in the bottom right corner of your screen) Locate the M2C ESL Web System icon Using your mouse, right click the icon and select Open in browser (http://localhost:88/dashboard/), the ELSA-M web browser login page will now appear on your screen.
