User Guide, WherePort IV D1300 REV A
© Copyright WhereNet, Corp. 2008 WhereNet Confidential
The magnetic field extends in all directions from the WherePort IV. Its position does, however, affect the
direction of the field and therefore its relation to the position of the tag. It is the direction of the field that
is important when reviewing the different orientations of the WherePort IV.
Figure 183 Configuration Screen
10.2. WherePort IV Configuration
The WherePort IV position to be simulated is configured on the WherePort IV configuration screen
(Figure 183). There are two parameters that must be set:
Power Level Select a power level from 1 to 8. The highest power level is 8 on this simulator. To
convert this to the WherePort IV power level, multiply the simulation power level by 4 and subtract 1 to
achieve the WP4 level. This will only test a few of the 31 power steps.
Tag to WP IV Height (ft) The relationship between the height of the WherePort IV position and the
WhereTag position (0 to 20 feet).
