9 Quick installation and system configuration
This chapter will guide you through the installation and configuration of the RF Mono
system.
1. Carefully check the area where the RF Mono antenna is going to be installed for
potential noise sources. Follow the guidelines and instructions in chapter 3.
2. Once the exact position has been determined, properly install the RF Mono
antenna(s), power suppl(y)(ies), wiring, RF Deactivators and CrossCONNECT
Access Point (CCAP). Follow the instructions in chapters 4, 5 and 6.
3. Terminate the bus on the last device by putting the termination switch on the PCB
of that device in the ON position. The termination switches on all other devices
should be OFF. In case another device, for example an RF Deactivator, is the
last device on the bus, then the deactivator must be terminated. See chapter 5.4
for more information on bus termination.
4. Switch the power supplies of the RF Mono antenna(s) and CCAP on and make
sure the power LEDs on all connected devices are lit.
5. Connect your laptop to the CCAP or to the same LAN if the CCAP is connected
to a LAN, Start Device Explorer and logon to the CCAP. Follow the instructions in
chapter 7.
6. Check if all devices appear in the System – Devices screen and verify that all
devices have the state Ok.
7. In case of multiple devices, locate each device using the Locate option as
described in chapter 7.8.5.1 and give it an appropriate name.
8. Go to System - RF settings and select the appropriate master.
9. Create entrances, move antennas to the appropriate entrances and properly
arrange them or perform an automatic antenna arrangement (for Optima models
only). See chapters 7.6 and 7.7.7.7
10. Select the first RF Mono antenna and configure the correct time slot. Repeat this
for all RF Mono antennas. See chapters 6.2.2 and 7.7.5.1.7.
11. Select the first transceiver and adjust its detection sensitivity so it will properly
detect the used paper labels and/or hard tags. Repeat this for all transceivers. If
necessary reduce the detection bandwidth. See chapter 7.7.5.
12. Adjust the notifications for each entrance. See chapter 7.7.4.1.
