32 Versus Information System
supply should be secured to the electrical outlet using a screw or cable ties to ensure that it cannot
fall out or be disconnected by others working in the same area.
Caution!
Disconnect the modular cable from any down channel collector(s) and allow it to remain
disconnected during the test. Down channel collectors could be damaged if power is
applied before they have been checked.
Plug the power supply connector into the concentrator and observe the red LED indicator lights. If
it fails to light, recheck the power and connections.
There are four LED indicator lights on the Concentrator. The function of each is described in the
diagram below.
Ethernet Concentrator
The LED indicator light on the Collector will blink every time it receives badge data from the
sensors. If the LED blinks in a four- or five-blink pattern, this indicates it is not communicating
with the concentrator. If this is the case, there is a problem with either the network cable
connection or the connection to the concentrator. If the LED blinks in a three-blink pattern, this
indicates a problem with the collector, and it should be sent to Versus Technology for repair.
4.6 Walking Setup Test
After the Database Server, Badge Server and Configuration Utilities have been installed, you
should perform a walking setup of the system to verify sensor locations. The Badge Server and
Database Server Manual describes the installation and configuration of the Badge Server and
Database Server. The Configuration Utilities Manual includes adding collectors, adding room
locations, matching up the sensors with locations, and testing them with the walking setup.
4.7 Testing RF Sensors
The Frequencer is a utility that shows data being received by sensors. Data can be filtered to show
only information for a specific badge or sensor. The Frequencer is instrumental in testing that all
areas of the facility are covered by RF sensors.
To test RF sensor coverage:
1. Open the Frequencer, which is installed to the Versus\IRTools directory. The file is
TCPFreq.exe.
