Once everything is set up, follow these steps to start the system:

1. Turn on every Access Point using the switch on the device (below the USB connector).
2. Connect the AP Lead to the Edge using a USB to Micro USB cable.
3. Connect the Edge to a network with internet access.
4. Turn on the Edge
5. Turn on the AP Lead.
6. Wait up to 5 minutes for everything to start.
7. Turn on a Tag and open the environment. Do not cover the Tag antenna while it is turned on.

You should see the localized Tag appear as a blue dot in the environment.

The localized Tag appears as a blue dot at its position.

On-Prem vs Cloud

The connection method is displayed in the upper-left corner of the app.

• On-Prem: The app is on the same network (WiFi) as the Edge. The app receives data (position, triggered zones, etc.) directly from the Edge. This results in a high update rate and low latency.
• Cloud: The app is connected to the Edge via the cloud. This increases latency and lowers the update rate.

The accuracy is the same regardless of whether Cloud or On-Premise is used. The only difference is the latency and update rate.

Common Errors

No data is received

• Not all Loci devices are turned on
  • Check if the Edge is switched on. You can verify this by checking whether the power-on LED is on.
  • Check if the AP Lead is switched on. You can see if the LED is on.
  • Check if Access Points are switched on. You can see if the LED is on.
  • Check if the Tag is switched on. You can see if the LED is on.
• Internet connection is not working (Edge cannot communicate with the cloud)
  • Establish an internet connection.
  • Make sure the LAN cable is plugged in correctly.
• No connection with AP Lead
  • Check if the AP Lead is connected.
  • Check if the AP Lead is switched on.
  • Check if the AP Lead is in range.
  • Check for blocked line of sight to the AP Lead.
• No connection with Tag
  • Check if the AP Lead is connected.
  • Check if the AP Lead and/or Access Points are switched on.
  • Check if the AP Lead and/or Access Points are in range.
  • Check for blocked line of sight to the AP Lead and/or Access Points.
• Too few active Access Points
  • Check if enough Access Points are turned on.
  • Check if enough Access Points are in range.
• Else
  • Restart the system.
  • Contact Support

The localization performance is too low

• Inaccurate 3D model
  • Verify that the 3D model is acceptable.
  • Otherwise, perform a rescan.
• Incorrect Placement of Access Points
  • Check if Access Point positions (X, Y, Z) are set correctly in the 3D model.
  • Otherwise, correct the Access Point positions.
• Bad Access Points Constellation
  • Verify that Best Practices for Access Point Placement were followed.
  • Otherwise, reposition Access Points accordingly.
  • If the constellation cannot be improved, add more Access Points.
• Tag is outside of the localization area
  • Move the Tag inside the localization area.
  • Adjust the localization area size.
• AP Lead is not always in range
  • Move the AP Lead into range.
  • Reduce the localization area.
• Too few active Access Points
  • Check if enough Access Points are turned on.
  • Check if enough Access Points are in range.
• Strong Interfering Environment Factors
  • Check if the Tag has line of sight to enough Access Points.
• Localization Configuration Parameters have to be tuned
  • Contact Support
• Else
  • Restart the system.
  • Contact Support

The Edge must not be connected to a monitor, keyboard, or any other peripheral. It is not possible to log in to the Edge directly. Management is done purely via the app and the dashboard.
