The Master Radio’s antenna, power supply, and data cables must be indoors at all times. Data cables must be terminated indoors with certified equipment (i.e. switch, hub, etc.) if outdoor communication is desired. Spot RFLS User's Manual Page 5 11/6/2006 2 Spot System Description This document describes the use of the Spot RFLS, a Radio Frequency (RF) Tag Location System used for real-time and historical location tracking of high-value human and equipment assets. Major sections of this document include the following topics: • A basic description of the Spot System and its proper use • Safety information • User interface description • FCC ID numbers and compliance statements Spot RFLS User's Manual Page 6 11/6/2006 A block diagram of Spot RFLS is shown below: Tag Radio Master Radio Tag Radio Beacon Radio Beacon Radio Beacon Radio Beacon Radio Master Radio External Location Data Interface (API) Browser-Based Administration Inventory Management System Patient Monitoring System Time and Attendance System Hospital Systems End Users Spot Engine (Network Controller) SpotIt Presentation Server Figure 1 — Spot RFLS Block Diagram Spot RFLS User's Manual Page 7 11/6/2006 Spot uses a system of Master Radios and Beacons to locate and track the position of Tags. Tag location and history information is made available to other systems and applications through the External Location Data Interface (also called API) and also through a browser-based interface. The Spot System is made up of the following components. • Spot Engine: o An appliance that controls the overall operation of the Spot System and delivers Tag location information via a web-based interface o Other application servers can retrieve Tag location information through the Engine’s External Location Data Interface (API) CAUTION! Never operate a Master Radio without an antenna or RF load. • Master Radios: o Relay information from Beacons and Tags to the Spot Engine o Are powered via their Ethernet network connections o Require no direct user operation • Beacons: o Communicate with the Tags based on commands from the Master Radios o Are battery-powered, designed for low current consumption to maximize battery life o Require no direct user operation • Tags: o Receive transmissions from Beacons o Transmit Beacon reports to Master Radios that Spot uses to compute location o Are optimized for low power consumption to maximize battery life. Power consumption can be optimized for tracking mobile or fixed assets.

Operational Description Master Radio – 40004A001 The Master Radio is part of a radio frequency (RF) location system that uses the 2.4GHz Industrial, Scientific, and Medical (ISM) band. The system uses IEEE 802.15.4 compliant transceivers with a maximum throughput of 250Kbps. All transceivers use the direct sequence spread spectrum (DSSS) technique with Offset-Quadrature Phase Shift Keying (O-QPSF) modulation. The system can operate on any one of the sixteen ISM channels defined by IEEE 802.15.4. The Master Radio can be powered by either an AC/DC adapter or a Power-Over- Ethernet (PoE) connection. All RF carrier frequencies and modulation timing is derived from a 16MHz crystal connected to the RF transceiver. A power amplifier and low-noise amplifier are provided to extend the range of the Master Radio. The Master Radio supports connection to a monopole antenna using an N-type connector. Refer to the User’s Manual for further information.
