Test an Actall Hubsens Tag

Before using a tag, you can test that it has a charged battery and is able to send alarms to the server. This allows you to ensure the tag works before using it.

To test a tag:

  1. If you have not already, connect to the Actall server.
  2. Access the Tag Testing page at http://host:9701/TagTest/Index
  3. Enter the ID of your tag and click Start Test.
    Note: In order to test a tag, it must be located within a designated test zone. If it is not, it will fail to go into test mode. Tags which are in a test zone do not send their alarms to Runtime.
  4. Once on the tag testing page, verify the displayed information.
    ID The given ID for the tag.
    Tag Type The type of tag this is (Tag or HDT).
    Assigned To The person the tag is assigned to.
    Current Location The ID for the zone the tag is in.
    Last Updated The timestamp for when an update was last received for this tag.
    Battery Level Whether the tag has battery power left (pass) or not (fail).
    Alarm Received Whether the test alarm has been received or not.
  5. Trigger an alarm from your tag. Once it is received, the Alarm Received result will change to Pass.
    Note: The testing page will time out after 30 seconds by default. Be sure to press the button within that time period.
  6. If your tag passed the tests, you are good to go. If not, there may be an issue with your tag.
