WhereTrack Installation and Operation
WNC units are shipped with all radio emitters deactivated. After installing a WNC to a vehicle to be tracked, the unit must
be activated. This is done using the Ethernet cable serial connection from a computer to the WNC unit along with DC
power. A computer can be used to configure and activate the internal tag functionality, 802.11b/g transceiver, and verify
the GPS receiver function. A WhereNet LAP can be utilized to verify the functionality of the internal tag transmissions
and 802.11b/g communications.
