WhereWand II User’s Guide D1258 rev A

WhereNet Confidential

allows the user to configure WherePort devices and read back the configuration.

WherePort configuration parameters include WherePort ID, power level, phase

setting, and tag response.

The WhereWand communicates with the Location Sensor by transmitting DSSS

messages containing the desired configuration data or test mode. This is a transmit

only operation and the Location Sensor will not transmit anything back to the

WhereWand, but the Location Sensor will flash its LEDs to indicate

communications are in progress.

2.3 Power Management

The WhereWand II’s power management is handled by the application software

installed on the handheld computer. The WhereWand II Adapter PCBA itself will

shut off the on-board high frequency RF clock while it is not transmitting to

further reduce current consumption. The WhereWand II Adapter ships with

rechargeable Lithium batteries.

Any time the WhereWand Programmer is not in use, it should be placed into its

battery charger cradle. Refer to the terminal’s Original Equipment Manufacturer

documentation included with the product.
