WhereNet Confidential

The WhereNet RLTS consists of WhereTag/WhereCall tags, WherePorts,

WhereWands, Location Sensors, and the server based Visibility Suite software.

WherePorts generate a magnetic field in a localized area. WherePort devices can

be used in places where the user wants to know immediately that the tagged asset

has entered the zone covered by the WherePort field. The WhereTag devices can

be configured to blink rapidly several times when they enter a WherePort field.

When the tag blinks in response to entering a WherePort field, the ID of the

WherePort is included in the tag transmission.

WhereWands are used to configure WhereTags, WhereCalls, WherePorts, and

Location Sensors. This document will detail the operation and use of the

WhereWand.

Location Sensors receive DSSS blinks from the tags and demodulate the signal,

time stamp the blink, and send the tag ID and any associated data included in the

blink to the server over the LAN.
