server, as shown in Figure 4.1.1 and 4.1.2:
5. Data Collection
The Bluetooth anchor is mainly used to receive and collect the locating and data
information sent by the Bluetooth tag. Its effective collection area is related to the on-site
deployment, and the number of tags that can be collected is related to the frequency of
tag data transmission.
When the tag leaves the effective collection area, the locating accuracy will be reduced or
cannot be located, and the data information cannot be transmitted. When the tag
returns to the effective collection area, the locating and data information transmission
can be resumed.

The location anchor uses fixed IP address to access the network, and does not support
DHCP function. The default factory IP address of the anchor is "192.168.1.X” at port
“48200”. The afore “X” in the IP address changes with the product, which can be obtained
from the information label on the product packaging.
