SECTION C: REMOTE ACCESS POINT MANUAL
ABOUT THE REMOTE ACCESS POINT
The Remote Access Point, or RAP, is a wireless access point for workgroups consisting of more than 100 people. It is a standalone device
(4” x 6” x 2”) that requires an Internet connection via a standard ethernet cable. The RAP communicates with BodyLAN™ - enabled devices and
securely offloads data from these devices and sends it to the Matrix Asset Management network. The RAP requires only AC power and Internet
access to function and has a range of 150-400 feet.
The RAP is embedded with a stripped down version of Windows XP, which runs the Matrix Asset Management application (AHclient.exe).
When powered up, the RAP will boot up to an embedded password-protected shell. Because the RAP runs from Flash memory, the operating
system and applications run off of protected, read-only mapped Flash memory, as such, cannot be corrupted or infected by a virus. A reboot of
the RAP will return it to its original factory state, with the exception of the configuration files that define the network connectivity.
The RAP is only capable of communicating with BodyLAN wireless devices and cannot be used for other wireless network types, such as WiFi.
Once the RAP is properly configured, it will operate the RF transceiver, collect data from sensors and transmit the data to the ActiHealth
servers at:
http://client.actihealth.net
http://fusion.actihealth.net
1 Cat 5e network cable
Heavy duty adhesive strips for mounting (attached to the RAP)
4 mounting screws (for alternate mounting)

HOW DATA MOVES FROM THE RAP
The Remote Access Point actively listens for proprietary BodyLAN
RF data beacons. If there is a BodyLAN device beaconing, the RAP
will detect it. The RAP will wirelessly communicate with the device
and collect the data, repackage it, and transmit it via an HTTP POST
transaction to the Matrix Asset Management servers. The data is
then stored in the unique BodyLAN device storage location. All
communication between the RAP and the Matrix Asset Management
servers takes place over TCP port 80, and all transactions are initiated
as outbound HTTP requests from the RAP. There are no Matrix Asset
Management server-initiated transactions to the RAP.
