1.3.3 Discovering the Antennas

The system requires at least four Antennas, including the one connected to your computer.

Using a greater number of Antennas will generally increase the accuracy of the solution.

Higher Antenna density may be required in complex, cluttered, or RF-harsh environments.

See Section 1.1 for details on optimizing your physical setup. The system will track tagged

assets within the polygon established by the Antennas.

i. Plug four or more Antennas into batteries or power adapters and place these

Antennas to establish the perimeter of a tracking area. Note the specific location

and height of each device and its associated “short-ID” number, located on a tag

near the base of the USB cable. Placing devices high with no visible obstructions

around or near will improve overall system performance.

ii. Keep one Antenna plugged into the computer running the WISER application. In

the menu, select Configure Devices → Enable USB Antenna. As with other Antennas,

placing this device high, with no visible obstructions around or near it, will improve

overall system performance. Note: To run active (Antenna) tracking you will also

need to have at least one Antenna that is not yet plugged in or powered. This unit

will serve as the ‘Roaming Device.’
