INSTALL YOUR ACCESPOINT

Find the right location to install your AccessPoint, keeping the following in mind. The AccessPoint uses radio signals to communicate with the Sensors wirelessly.

To get the best possible reception:

  • Place the AccessPoint as close as possible to the location of the loggers.
  • If the area that needs to be covered is large, place multiple AccessPoints at different locations in the building/at the site.
  • Mount the AccessPoint in a vertical position. There is a keyhole on the back that can be used to hinge the AccessPoint on a screw.
  • If the location allows it, hang the AccessPoint in free air suspended by its cables.
  • See the AccessPoint as an antenna; actually, the antenna is integrated into the AccessPoint.
  • Do not mount the AccessPoint close to or on a metal surface.
  • Try to avoid mounting the AccessPoint on concrete walls.
  • Try to avoid concrete walls or floors between the AccessPoint and the loggers.
  • Try to avoid mounting the AccessPoint on thick wooden beams.
  • Try to avoid metal walls or surfaces between the AccessPoint and the loggers. Also, modern windowpanes with sunscreen protection (a thin metal film) obstruct wireless signals significantly.

Troubleshooting Tip:
If the LED on the AccessPoint does not turn green, you do not have an Internet connection at this moment, or your firewall is blocking outgoing TCP/IP connections on port 80. If you have internet access but the AccessPoint does not turn green, you should add the Ethernet MAC address range of the SenseAnywhere AccessPoints (00:21:5B:00:00:00) to (00:21:5B:FF:FF:FF) to the “allow table” in your firewall for outgoing communication. The AccessPoints use only TCP/IP communication over port 80. It is not necessary to open any incoming ports in your firewall.

Power over Ethernet (PoE)
Would you like to power your AccessPoint via Ethernet cable? Get a Power-over-Ethernet (PoE) cable set from your SenseAnywhere reseller. This kit merges power from the adapter and switch, delivering both via a standard Ethernet cable. Choose between passive (white) and active (black) sets based on your switch type:

  • Passive PoE (White Set): Merge power from the adapter and data from the switch using the combiner at the switch location. Split them at the AccessPoint using the splitter.
  • Active PoE (Black Set): If you have a PoE-enabled switch, it provides both power and data. Simply split them using the black active PoE splitter before reaching the AccessPoint.

REGISTER YOUR ACCESPOINT

How to register your AccessPoint?
