The beacon can also be installed in other places different from ceilings or walls, such as
over a desk or other furniture. If this is the case, the installation becomes a more complex
procedure in order to ensure proper coverage of the area and avoid reduced precision in
the location system. The procedure to place and fix the device must be detailed in the
installation plan. Contact your MYSPHERA project manager if the installation plan is not
clear enough.

7. Configuration of the Network
In order for the beacons to be able to send information to the server, it is necessary the
TCP/IP connectivity between the beacons and the server. The beacons and the server
can be in the same sub-network or in different ones, but the TCP connectivity must be
present between each other (so the routers and firewalls in-between must be properly
configured).

7.1. Patch cord connection
After the physical installation of the net sockets, the next step is to connect the patch
panel to the corresponding network electronics. The beacons must be connected to a
socket with POE powering able to provide at least 1.5W.

7.2. VLAN Configuration/ Device registering
If necessary, the sockets will be configured in order to provide with TCP/IP connectivity
with
with
the server. This process may vary depending on the client’s network policy and can
contain processes such as:
-
Registering the beacons Ethernet MACs in the hospital network (a list with the
MACs of all the beacons installed is given)
MACs of all the beacons installed is given)
-
Configuring the VLAN used by the beacons.
7.3. DHCP Configuration
The beacons are pre-configured to obtain the IP address dynamically, so there must be a
DHCP server to provide service to the beacons.
DHCP server to provide service to the beacons.
It is recommended to have a list of the IP addresses that will be used by the beacons (it is
enough to have the range). The list will be of use in case of maintenance operations
(configuration changes or firmware update).

(configuration changes or firmware update).
7.4. Necessary ports in the server
The beacons connect with the server using the TCP 30000 port.
7.5. Ports used in the beacons
The beacons do not need to have any open port during their normal functioning. During
the installation period it is necessary to be able to connect with the TCP 22 port (SSH) of
the beacons in order to configure them.
