4. Network Connection
4.1. Wired Network
There are mainly two types of wiring methods between the location anchor and the
server, as shown in Figure 4.1.1 and 4.1.2:
5. Data Collection
The Bluetooth anchor is mainly used to receive and collect the locating and data
information sent by the Bluetooth tag. Its effective collection area is related to the on-site
deployment, and the number of tags that can be collected is related to the frequency of
tag data transmission.
When the tag leaves the effective collection area, the locating accuracy will be reduced or
cannot be located, and the data information cannot be transmitted. When the tag
returns to the effective collection area, the locating and data information transmission
can be resumed.
6. Important Safety Information for BlueIOT Anchor
WARNING: Failure to follow these safety instructions could result in fire, electric shock,
injury, or damage to BlueIOT Anchor or other property. Read all the safety information
below before using BlueIOT Anchor.
Handling Handle BlueIOT Anchor during transportation, installation and other cases with
care. BlueIOT Anchor contains sensitive electronic components and can be damaged if
dropped, burned, punctured, or crushed.
Repairing Don’t open BlueIOT Anchor and don’t attempt to repair BlueIOT Anchor
yourself. Disassembling BlueIOT Anchor may damage it, and may cause injury to you. If
BlueIOT Anchor is damaged or malfunctions, contact local distributor for help.
Powering BlueIOT Anchor uses IEEE 802.3af POE for power supply. Please use the
original adapter or selected adapter that meets the above specifications. It’s important to
keep BlueIOT Anchor and the power adapter installed in a well-ventilated area. Using a
BlueIOT Anchor power adaptor that’s damaged, using a third-party selected powering
solution which doesn't meet IEEE 802.3af POE or local safety regulation requirements, or
powering BlueIOT Anchor when moisture is present, can cause fire, electric shock, injury,
or damage to BlueIOT Anchor or other property.

4.2. Network Configuration
The location anchor uses fixed IP address to access the network, and does not support
DHCP function. The default factory IP address of the anchor is "192.168.1.X” at port
“48200”. The afore “X” in the IP address changes with the product, which can be obtained
from the information label on the product packaging.
Modify the IP address of your computer before changing the network settings of the
location anchor so that it is in the same network segment as the anchor. It is recom-
mended that the computer's network be configured as:
IP address: 192.168.1.11
Subnet mask: 255.255.255.0
Default gateway: 192.168.1.1
Specific parameters of the location anchor can be configured via the “Anchor Configura-
tion” module in the “Server Software”. Please refer to the related software manual for
details.
ture standards and limits. BlueIOT Anchor will become warm when plugged in to a
power source.
Radio frequency exposure BlueIOT Anchor uses radio signals to connect to Bluetooth
Tags. BlueIOT Anchor has been tested and meets applicable limits for radio frequency
(RF) exposure.
Radio frequency interference Observe signs and notices that prohibit or restrict the use
of electronic devices. Although BlueIOT Anchor is designed, tested, and manufactured to
comply with regulations governing radio frequency emissions, such emissions from
BlueIOT Anchor can negatively affect the operation of other electronic equipment,
causing them to malfunction. Unplug the BlueIOT Anchor power adaptor and the POE
cable when use is prohibited, or when asked to do so by authorities.
Medical device interference BlueIOT Anchor contains components and radios that emit
electromagnetic fields. These electromagnetic fields may interfere with medical devices,
such as pacemakers and defibrillators. Consult your physician and medical device
manufacturer for information specific to your medical device and whether you need to
maintain a safe distance of separation between your medical device and BlueIOT Anchor.
Stop using BlueIOT Anchor if you suspect they are interfering with your medical device.
Not a medical device BlueIOT Anchor is not a medical device and should not be used as
a substitute for professional medical judgment. It is not designed or intended for use in
the diagnosis of disease or other conditions, or in the cure, mitigation, treatment, or
prevention of any condition or disease. Please consult your healthcare provider prior to
making any decisions related to your health.
Not an absolutely reliable equipment BlueIOT Anchor is not intended for use where the
failure of the device could lead to death, personal injury, disease transmission or severe
environmental damage.
Explosive and other atmospheric conditions Powering on BlueIOT Anchor in any area
with a potentially explosive atmosphere, such as areas where the air contains high levels
of flammable chemicals, vapors, or particles (such as grain, dust, or metal powders), may
be hazardous. Exposing BlueIOT Anchor to environments having high concentrations of
industrial chemicals, including near evaporating liquified gasses such as helium, may
damage or impair BlueIOT Anchor functionality. Obey all signs and instructions.
Choking hazard Some BlueIOT Anchor parts may present a choking hazard to small
children. Keep these parts away from small children.
7. Important Handling Information for BlueIOT Anchor
Exposure to liquid BlueIOT Anchor is not water resistant. Always avoid exposing BlueIOT
Anchor to liquids and moisture.
Cleaning and care Keep BlueIOT Anchor clean and dry, but avoid damaging BlueIOT
Anchor. Observe the following:
Don’t clean BlueIOT Anchor while it’s powering.
Don’t dry BlueIOT Anchor using any external heat source (for example, a hair dryer).
Don’t use cleaning products, ultrasonic cleaners, or compressed air when cleaning
your BlueIOT Anchor.
Using buttons, connectors, and ports Never apply excessive pressure to a button on
BlueIOT Anchor, or force a powering connector into a port, because this may cause
damage that is not covered under the warranty. If the connector and port don’t join with
reasonable ease, they probably don’t match. Check for obstructions and make sure that
the connector matches the port and that you have positioned the connector correctly in
relation to the port.
Operating temperature BlueIOT Anchor is designed to work best in ambient tempera-
tures between -4°F and 158°F (-20°C and 70°C) and be stored in temperatures between
-40°F and 185° F (-40°C and 85°C). BlueIOT Anchor can be damaged if stored or operated
outside of these temperature ranges. Avoid exposing BlueIOT Anchor to dramatic
changes in temperature or humidity.
Indoor Use BlueIOT Anchor is designed for indoor use only.
