Zebra Confidential

1 DOCUMENT OVERVIEW

This document describes the basic configuration and recommendations on

physical installation of the Location Sensor product. The site design and

placement is detailed in the Location Sensor Placement Guide D0406 and

WhereLAN III Installation Guide D1677.

2 PRODUCT DESCRIPTION AND FEATURES

The WHERELAN III is the next generation of WhereLAN product that

receives the signals transmitted by WhereTags (ISO 24730-2), which are

attached to the tracked assets. The WHERELAN III has improved

performance and uses less power than the previous, WhereLAN Location

Sensor. The received tag blinks are decoded, time stamped, and routed to a PC

or ZLA (Zebra Location Appliance) for additional processing. The locate

algorithm running on the PC or ZLA calculates the tag position based on the

time stamps of multiple Location Sensors, and reports that position to the

database where it is displayed by Resource Manager.

There are three base WhereLAN III configurations:

• LOS-5000-00AA(Wired Ethernet, POE 802.3af compliant)

• LOS-5000-00AB (with 802.11b/g Wireless LAN Client, POE 802.3af

Compliant)

• LOS-5000-01AA (no embedded transmissions, Wired Ethernet, POE

802.3AF Compliant)

Both the LOS-5000-00AA and LOS-5000-00AB configurations also include a

low power an embedded transmitter, which complies with the ISO 24730-2
