LMS WIRELESS ACCESS POINT: Industrial & Office

Factors to consider when installing an Access Point

When installing an Access Point make sure that it is located in range of at least 20 luminaires in a 50m radius, preferbaly in the center of the luminaires and not in enclosed areas.

• A single Access Point can connect to up to a 750 luminaires in open spaces, if we want to use only as a device for gathering information. If you want to send out commands using the Access Point make sure devices are in range of the Access Point, this will significantly limit the amount of devices per Access Point to the 50m radius.

• Installation locations to avoid when installing an Access Point:

  • Storage areas

  • Areas containing equipment such as boilers,

  • Air-Conditioning units, server racks/cupboards

  • Plant rooms

  • Corners of a building.

• Additional building characteristics may also affect the signal quality of the Access Point, which will impact the quantity of luminaires which report to an individual Access Point, such as:

  • Concrete surfaces

  • Steel surfaces

  • Machinery

  • Thick walls

If you have a big building and want to only gather information from devices we do recomend having two Access Points.

Installing an Access Point

Access Points need a power supply and a connection to the internet. Glamox supply versions for 4G, Ethernet or Wi-Fi connection.

Internet Connection Types

Access Points can be supplied with 4G connections or Ethernet and Wi-Fi adapters.

4G

• An add-on package is available with 12 months data. At the end of the 12 month period, clients can maintain their own SIM contracts.

• It provides connectivity without involving the client’s IT infrastructure and is generally suitable for all environments which receive a mobile signal.

• Monitoring uses approximately 1 Gb per 1,000 luminaires per month.

Ethernet

• Provides a free wired communication.

• Ethernet is free from interference of Wi-Fi networks, walls or other physical barriers.

• When using this option it is important to consider the feasibility of installing Ethernet points across an existing building to ensure full coverage.

Wi-Fi

• Wi-Fi provides a connection where it is difficult to install Ethernet points.

• When using this option is important to consider the stability of the Wi-Fi connection in the building. If the Wi-Fi fails or the password changes, then the Access Point will lose connection to the internet and, without providing an alternative connection, cannot be re-established.

Security - Ethernet & Wi-Fi Only

The internet connection requires DHCP and the following permissions:

Power Consumption

• 3 W minimum

• 5 W average

• 15 W peak
