WPC Manager

The WPC Manager is a 433 MHz RF receiver with an integrated data Web Server. The WPC Manager can also be equipped with an optional 2.4 GHz RF transceiver. It receives error-checked data packets (Counts) from WPC (Wireless) People Counters, processes the count data, and makes the count data available to be queried by TrafficFlow reporting software.

The WPC Manager communicates with a PC over a computer Ethernet network using TCP/IP or can be connected directly to the computers Ethernet port using a (optional) cross-over cable. Commands are sent over Ethernet using TCP/IP or XML. The WPC Manager contains a time of day clock, battery backed RAM, and flash programmable memory. It is fully configurable, both locally and remotely. It can store configuration information for up to 100 WPC People Counters.

The WPC Manager was built with the flexibility needed to satisfy varied user requirements. There are several modes of operation that allow the user to balance simplicity, costs, precision, and timeliness.

Monitoring - The easiest way to get information from the WPC Manager is to view the current Counter values. This can be accomplished with a Web browser (no software coding required) or polling by a host. Both alarms and data are available.
