2. Running the Software​

Windows Server Deployment​

  1. Create a dedicated directory (for example, D:\IPS_Tool) and run the IPS Tool executable.
  2. The system will normally open your default browser automatically. You may also manually visit localhost:8080. Google Chrome is recommended.
  3. Copy the license key and send it to a Nooploop engineer to obtain an activation code, then enter the activation code.

Software Activation

Linux Server Deployment​

cd <installation_directory>
mkdir ips
cd ips
# Copy the software package provided by Nooploop into this directory
chmod u+x ./ips_tool_v1.1.0.x
sudo ./ips_tool_v1.1.0.x
  1. On Linux, the browser will not open automatically. Google Chrome is recommended.
  2. Open localhost:8080 locally, or access server_ip:8080 from another computer on the same LAN.
  3. Copy the license key and send it to a Nooploop engineer to obtain an activation code.

Software Activation

Notes

  1. Install and use the software in a dedicated folder. Do not move or rename the folder to avoid data loss.
  2. When deploying on a new computer or in a new directory, a new activation code is required.
  3. If important data such as maps is stored in the system, back up the Data folder regularly.

3. Pre-Deployment Checklist​

  • PoE switch (supports IEEE 802.3at)
  • Category 5e or higher oxygen-free copper Ethernet cables
  • Server (Windows / Linux)
  • IPS Tool activated
Important

If any of the above requirements are not met, anchor may fail to power on or come online.

4. Hardware Network Topology​

4.1 Solution 1: PoE Switch + anchor + Server (Without Router)​

Deployment Steps​

  1. Connect the server to the switch uplink port and connect the anchor to PoE ports.

  2. Ensure anchor cascading does not exceed 6 levels. The white POE-IN port is the uplink port and the black POE-OUT port is the downstream cascade port.

  3. Configure the server Control Panel with a static IP address.

    静态IP

  4. Enable DHCP: System Settings → System → Enable DHCP Server.

4.2 Solution 2: PoE Switch + Router + anchor + Server​

Deployment Steps​

  1. Connect the router to the switch, the server to the switch, and the anchor to the switch (preferably via the uplink port).

  2. Cascade anchor from the first anchor's OUT port to the next anchor's POE IN port.

    • Maximum cascade depth: 6 levels.

  3. Enter system settings and verify that the number of online anchors displayed in the top bar is correct.

5. Online Status Verification​

  1. Verify that the number of online anchor shown in the top bar matches the deployed quantity.

    top_bar

  2. Verify anchor UIDs in the device list.

  3. Check LED status and ensure all anchor display the normal green flashing pattern.


  4. Note: Tags will not come online until the anchor have been configured.

    👉 If anchor are offline：refer to the Software Troubleshooting Guide

6. Configure a Static IP Address for a anchor​

  1. Open the Device List.

    static_4

  2. Select a anchor and click IP Configuration.

    static_3

  3. Select Static IP, enter the IP address and related parameters, then save and apply.

    static_1

  4. Click Restart for the anchor in the Device List.
