Identify Locators Using Identification Wizard

Once the Quuppa system is physically installed and the Locators have been positioned in the QSP, the next step is to identify the Locators using the Identification Wizard and the Focusing Locator. This step lets the system know which installed Locator is which and so makes it possible for the Quuppa Positioning Engine (QPE) to check that the Locators have valid subscriptions (or licences for LD Generation Locators).

Note: Q17 Focusing Locator should be connected to a laptop computer via an Ethernet port and a micro-usb cable. LD-6L Focusing Locator can no longer be used with release 8.0 and above.
To identify the Locators, follow the steps below.
  1. Open the project in the QSP.
  2. Select the Locator that you want to identify (using either the map view or the object tree).
  3. In the panel on the right, open the Deployment tab and click the Start identification wizard button.

  4. This will open the identification wizard window.
    Troubleshooting: Check that the Locator's LED is now blinking blue and the Focusing Locator's LED is static green. If not, check your connections and restart the wizard.
  5. Aim the Focusing Locator towards the selected Locator. Adjust your aim so that the dot moves close to the center of the diagram (dot changes to green) and keep aiming until the signal quality is good enough that the wizard identifies the Locator.
    Tip: Make sure you are close enough for a good quality signal.

  6. Repeat for all the Locators.
