Learning Objectives

After reading this article, you’ll be able to:

  • Configure the device

  • Configure the device to its location in the Workplace Platform

This guide focuses on the configuration of the Xovis devices and deployment in the Workplace back-end Studio, after Xovis installation.

For a more detailed understanding of the Xovis Platform, please consult the /wiki/spaces/KB/pages/520323190 manual.

Configure Xovis sensor

Step 1. Access the Xovis Configuration Tool

Expand
titleXovis sensor Configuration Tool

  1. Connect your computer via an ethernet cable (ensure a power of 12V / 1,5 A) to the same network as the gateway (best practice is to plug in a cable from the same splitter to your computer).

  2. Use the Xovis scanning tool, or Download IP scanner (for example “Advanced IP Scanner”) to your computer

  3. Scan your environment to see which devices are in your vicinity

  4. Compare the MAC address from the physical device with the list

  5. Right click - copy paste the IP into your browser (Chrome or Firefox)

  6. After the installation of the Gateway, it will automatically connect to an available Server

  7. With the assigned IP address (DHCP), the WebGUI can be accessed (Best to use Chrome or Firefox)

    1. The default username is “Admin”

    2. The password is “pass”

  8. You will be forwarded to the Xovis Configuration Tool, where you can configure the device

A wizard will guide you through the next steps.

Step 2. General Settings

Expand
titleGeneral Settings

  1. Region: select applicable region

  2. Date&Time: based on filled in region, Date&Time will be filled in. Confirm

  3. Network identification: in chapter IPv4, make sure DHCP and Fallback are enabled

  4. Privacy Mode: for 1st configuration, you need level 0

Note

Do not change the Privacy Level at this stage: it's not possible to go back to level 0 without interference from the Spacewell Hardware Team

  1. Remote Connection: turn on both options

  2. User Management: change password is not recommended

  3. For the next sub chapters, you can skip these steps (just press "next")

Step 3. Singlesensor Settings

Expand
title1-2. Rotation & Image setup

  1. Rotation: rotate the image view in a way that is workable for you as an admin

  2. Image setup:

    1. Select buttons lower right corner, start drawing and once you're done, double click

    2. Draw Floor Mask = Ground floor

    3. Draw Taboo Mask = you can indicate which areas need to be ignored (for example adjacent rooms or walkways)

    4. Draw Illumination Mask = indicate all the lights or distractions from the light source

    5. Click save

Expand
title3. Mounting Height & Tilt

  1. Mounting Height & Tilt

    1. Fill in the mounting height

    2. Tilt Setup Mode: select “automatic”: the sensor has a level inside and can automatically calculate if it's tilted and how much. If within acceptable range, this will not be an issue

    3. Live tilt measured: click on the button "Overwrite" to save the calibration on the device (you'll get a message if calibration was successful in the bottom right corner)

Expand
title4. Re-calibration

  1. Re-calibration: to apply new calibration to the sensor, click apply next to "new calibration can be applied"

Expand
title5. Data Push

  1. Data Push: PART OF PRE_CONFIG? IF NOT NEEDS TO BE DOCUMENTED!

  2. For the next sub chapters, you can skip these steps (just press "next")

Step 4. Scene Configuration

After running through the setup wizard, the tool will open on the Home screen, showing the Sensor Overview Live Scene

Expand
title1-3. Draw a virtual footfall line

  1. Select top right button "Scene Configuration"

  2. Select "Draw Line" to start drawing a virtual footfall line on the image

  3. Enter a meaningful name in the pop-up "New geometry"

    1. The arrow/triangle needs to point towards the direction/location that you want to track; press save or double click to save your changes

    2. Select the line and edit to invert direction if required

    3. Through edit, it's possible to also change the name

Expand
title4. Add logic to the footfall line

  1. Click on the line and select "Add logic" to the top right of the screen

Expand
title5. Logic "Person Count Late"

  1. Select "Person Count Late". No need to fill anything in, just hit "save"

Step 5. Quality Assurance

Go to the Home screen, to check the Sensor Overview Live Scene and confirm your configuration.

Ask someone to cross the line, so that you can see this happening live on the platform

Info

It’s best practice to do an extensive Quality Check in this stage. Make sure to do this before moving to the last step in configuration

Step 6. Privacy Mode

Once Quality Assurance confirms your set-up, go back to Settings > General Settings > Privacy Mode and set to level 3

Note

Once you do this, it's not possible to go back without interference from the Spacewell Hardware Team

 

Go to the Home screen, to check the Sensor Overview Live Scene and confirm your configuration

  • Once someone crosses the line, the live count will update

  • Due to level 3 setting, you will not see any interaction on the live scene view

Deploy sensors in your Workplace tenant 

Prerequisites

InfoDeploying sensors in Workplace can only be done by Spacewell.

For Spacewell external users: please contact your Implementation Consultant and indicate your tenant and the relevant XOVIS device IDs that need to be mapped in Studio.

Add New Device in Workplace back-end Studio

Note

Only after the next data package is send, data for this sensor will be visible in your tenant. (This means that depending on time of provisioning to your tenant and activity at the customer site, this can take a while.)

Add New Device > Xovis in Studio

  1. Go to your tenant (https://studio.cobundu.com )

  2. Select the location, where you can manually add a Pointgrab area via "Add New Device"

  3. Select "Xovis" in Device Type

    1. XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX

  4. Give a meaningful name: include device name, tenant name (eg tenant_floor number_area)

    1.  Make sure device ID + location are referenced everywhere, so that in Studio you can use the simple search function 

  5. Select a Location from the location tree if this is already known (automatically filled in if location was selected before adding new device).

Quality Assurance

Verify Quality Assurance steps in Quality Assurance Occupancy/Utilization Sensor

Next steps

Once data is flowing into the Workplace Platform, Configure Space monitor.

In case you encounter any issue with your devices, don’t hesitate to check Xovis troubleshooting

Next steps

To have data flowing into the Workplace Platform, make sure to deploy the sensors in the Workplace platform, see Xovis deployment.
