Below are instructions for manually configuring the location for a newly installed Troverlo Static Tag Reader. Static readers are meant to be placed in locations that need consistent coverage like material yards, buildings, and storage spaces. If the static reader is ever moved, the location needs to be updated in the Troverlo Web Portal so tags observed are reported in the correct location.
1. Create an Asset for the Troverlo Static Tag Reader
Prior to installing the reader, make sure to write down the Tag ID (MAC address) for the reader as shown on sticker on the backside of the reader. With the Tag ID you can create the Asset using the Troverlo App or Web Portal.
2. Install Troverlo Static Tag Reader
Install the static reader in a location where it has visibility (within 100-200 meters) of the area to be covered.
3. Determine the location of Troverlo Static Tag Reader
Once the reader is installed, capture the latitude and longitude of the Troverlo Static Tag Reader antenna's location using Google Maps on your mobile phone.
4. Manually configure the location of the Troverlo Static Tag Reader
Go to Asset Management > Reader Config on the left-hand menu in the Troverlo Web Portal (find.troverlo.com) to manually configure the location. Click "Create new reader config".
Next, select the Tag ID (MAC Address) for the reader that needs to have the location configured. Add the Latitude and Longitude determined in step 3. Add a description so the configuration can be easily found without requiring the Tag ID information in the future.
Then click Save.
