2. On the Frequencer screen, type the IP address of the computer where the Badge Server is installed.
The badge hits will start appearing in the window.
3. To isolate and only test RF sensors, type the badge number of an RF badge in the Badge field.
4. Take an RF badge and “hide” the badge in a pocket or other place, so it is not seen by the IR
sensors.
5. One person will need to sit at the computer while another person walks to all areas within the
facility with the hidden badge. Both will need walkie-talkies to communicate.
6. Have the person with the badge walk around the facility and press the badge at different locations.
You will see the hits in the Total Time, Total Hits, and Avg. Time fields.
7. Verify that the badge is seen in all locations by the RF sensors, especially areas such as
bathrooms, where there may be no IR coverage.
8. Mark the area as covered on the Punch-down Block Organization List.
4.7 Perimeter Activation Sentinel (PAS) Unit Installation
If the Versus system includes PAS units, there are a couple options for mounting. You can place
them above the ceiling tile if there is a suspended ceiling. If you choose this method, do not place
the unit on the metal frame of the ceiling, but rather touching only the ceiling tile. Alternately, you
can set the PAS unit on a shelf above the area where you need the signal range. The shelf must be
non-metallic.
5. Troubleshooting Guide
These are possible hardware scenarios and solution issues that may affect the operation of the tracking
system. The Collector Voltage Troubleshooting Flow Chart and the Functionality Test Flow Chart are
included as troubleshooting strategies for correcting system hardware problems.
Problem: System will not start up.
Discussion: Most system failures on startup are caused by failure to properly crimp RJ Type connectors,
along with failure to test the completed connection.
Problem: Collector cannot be seen by the Concentrator on the Subnet.
Discussion: A collector works properly when unconnected to the subnet, on powering on, it blinks four to
five times every five or so seconds. Once connected to the concentrator’s subnet, upon power on, the
collector light should come on strong after the first few seconds and then blink only upon receipt of a badge
ID.
