WhereWand II User’s Guide D1258 rev A

WhereNet Confidential

The WhereWand communicates with the Location Sensor by sending DSSS blinks

containing the MAC address of the Location Sensor. The first screen the user sees

is a prompt for the Location Sensor’s MAC address. This can be manually typed in

using the WhereWand keypad, or scan from the Location Sensor bar code label

using the WhereWand laser scanner. The bar code label is located on the back of

the Location Sensor and in the site design document. Figure 42 shows the MAC

address entry screen.

Important: If the MAC does not start with 0004F1, all LS operations will result

in an error. This is a safety feature to prevent unnecessary transmissions from the

WhereWand.

Alternately, the user can enter the System Builder ID for that Location Sensor.

This will access the file LocationSensors.txt on the WhereWand to get the MAC

address.

Important: The LocationSensors.txt file should be in directory C:\Program

Files\WhereNet\PDT\PDTInstall\link directory prior to running PDT install.

Important: This LS configuration operations consume a significant part of the

System RF capacity.
