RTX Location Gateway

Reset feature
It is possible to restart or reset the location gateway unit by pressing a knob under the front cover.
Alternatively, it can
be reset from the SME Configuration Interface. We do not recommend this; but unplugging and plugging the Ethernet
cable back to the PoE port of the base station also resets the base unit.
Installing the Location Gateway
First determine the best location that will provide an optimal coverage taking account the construction of the building,
architecture, and choice of building materials.
Next, mount the Location Gateway on a wall or where ever you want it placed to provide the best coverage.
RANGE TBD
Mounting the Location Gateway.
The RTX8200 Location gateway, can be mounted both horizontal in the ceiling and vertical on a wall.
Before mounting the Location gateway, you need to determine if it is going to run in RX or TX mode, as you need to
select the right radiation pattern.
RX mode = Receiving Mode
TX Mote = Transmit Mode
RX Mode

Receiver mode
In receiver mode, the RTX8200 Location Gateway will react to external BTLE beacons and automatically send the
location data using DECT to a centralized point. In short this allows to you to use small external BT Tags such as the
RTX8210 for item tracking and DECT phones such as the RTX863x for personnel tracking. Like the case for transmitter
mode, the external antennas can be deployed in high security areas. The downside for receiver mode is the added
current consumption, which makes it necessary to use the RTX8200 Location Gateway with a power supply.
Use case: Door installation:
For the door installation use case, RTX recommends two positions. Next to the door and just above the door, as shown
on the illustration below. It should be noted that position 1 will be more reliable, since the tracked object will need to
be further in the room for position 2 to detect the presence. The door opening in this case is 90 cm wide and 210 cm
tall.
