NOTE

If you want to connect to multiple devices, repeat Steps 1-5 to add each device.

Auto Reconnect

Selecting the Auto Reconnect option in

the Device Connection

dialog box sets the Device

Connection to automatically reconnect each time you log on to AxcessView. This only

works with TCPIP network receivers.

Tags Types

Tags are part of the ActiveTag automatic identification product line. When a tag receives

a wake-up signal, it broadcasts its identification information to a receiver. This information

is used to track personnel, vehicle and assets. Tags can be carried by individuals, placed

on assets or equipment, or mounted in or on vehicles. There are two types of tags in the

ActiveTag System,

Normal

and

Beacon.

Normal

This type of tag remains inactive or “asleep” until it passes an antenna generating a

specific RF activation field. Passing through this field causes a message to be

transmitted to the AxcessView system via the LAN (Local Area Network). Personnel,

Asset and Panic are examples of Normal tags.

Beacon

This type of tag is read in exactly the same manner as normal tags. In addition, however,

Beacon tags transmit messages to the AxcessView system at specific intervals,

regardless of whether they pass through a RF field or not. Certain information can be

included in these messages, such as room

temperature

and

low voltage

information.

The Beacon Tags must be identified to AxcessView in order for the correct interpretation

of the Beacon Tag data. Temperature, Tamper and Cabinet are examples of Beacon

tags.

Configuring Beacon Tags

Select Beacon Settings from the Configure menu. The

Beacon Tag Options

dialog box displays (Figure 15).
