Ethernet Deployment Rules

You should make sure that the following points are considered during the network planning:

• The cables should not exceed a 100 m length (min. category: Cat 5E) between the power source and the anchors. 
  • For longer distances PoE extender can be employed.
• All the cables are tested after deployment - cables provide a reliable data connection and power.
• The anchors should have a dedicated VLAN or isolated network to RTLS Studio if possible.
• Make sure that no or properly configured access lists are active on the switches within the network.
• The anchors and the server are located on the same subnet in case of UDP synchronization. 
• If anchors and RTLS Studio cannot be at the same subnet TCP synchronization must be used.
• Make sure the firewall is properly configured and all necessary communication ports are allowed.
