How to Associate a Location with an IR Locator
The configuration of the A740 Rack Locator and the A750 Room Locator is detailed in their respective user manuals:
· A740 User Manual
· A750 User Manual
After you configure a room or rack locator, you then need to configure Asset Manager or Zone Manager in order to associate the rack or room locator with a location.
Asset Manager Configuration
To configure Asset Manager, perform the following steps:
The Matching IR Locator field is the attribute that correlates the logical location in the software to the respective physical rack or room locator.
Note: The Matching IR Locator field is either a 3-digit octal value (0-777) or a 4-digit decimal value (0-9999). The former range is used with Series 1 rack locators (tags). The latter range is used with the newer Series 2 rack locators (tags). All currently shipping tags are Series 2 tags.
An example of a rack location rule is shown below. The name field is set to RFC Rack 1 and the Matching IR Locator field is set to the IR Locator Code of the rack locator (001 in the example below).
Zone Manager Configuration
In Zone Manager, the equivalent configuration is found under the Configuration tab > Locations & Rules section, illustrated in screenshot below.
Note: Configuring locations and rules in Zone Manager is not necessary if you are using Asset Manager.
