SiteWERX User Manual WirelessWERX 2. Description The SiteWERX Location system consists of System Management software residing on a networked PC, a SiteWERX Base Station (SBS), and one or more SiteWERX Location Nodes (SLN’s). The SBS and SLN’s form a communication chain (scatter-net) using Bluetooth radios. The SBS uses Ethernet or 802.11 Wi-Fi to maintain a communication link with a local area network, allowing the system to be managed by a PC with access to this LAN.
SiteWERX User Manual WirelessWERX 2.2 Architecture The SBS consists of a Bluetooth Module and antenna for Bluetooth operations, and a LAN module that communicates with the SiteWERX System Controller using Ethernet or an 802.11 transceiver and antenna.
