The ActiveTag™ serial receiver is a network-capable general-purpose receiver that detects tag signals, converts them into data, and forwards the information to a controller or host application. The -IP Network Receiver adds a LAN interface to the basic serial receiver to provide Ethernet connectivity across the enterprise LAN/WAN.
Any number of receivers can be networked throughout multiple facilities to enable enterprise-wide monitoring and tracking of assets, personnel and other mission-critical resources. The receiver processes and filters information received from any tag, whether automatically activated at a control point (via the ActiveTag™ activator) or when triggered by a beacon timer, sensor or alarm event. Tag transmissions can be received at a distance of about 35 feet in a typical office environment with greater distances achievable in open air line-of-sight applications.
The receiver can be configured with an optional Wiegand output for ease of integration with existing access control and alarm systems. The -S serial receiver supports industry standard 26-Bit Wiegand or an RS-232 serial port for ease of interface to virtually any control panel on the market. The -IP version supports Ethernet network communications via TCP/IP protocol. Both receivers can be configured and controlled remotely via Hyper Terminal or commands issued from a software application program.
