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.
