EX5500 Controller Installation & Configuration Guide

Introduction
The EX5500 Controller is a component of the Stanley Healthcare suite of enterprise-
level visibility solutions based on standard Wi-Fi communication for security and
safety applications. The EX5500 Controller provides sophisticated RFID detection,
monitoring, and control capabilities.
The EX5500 Controller triggers Hugs Tags as they pass through an Egress or as they
approach the Controller. Tags in turn transmit a message to either the Location
Receivers or to compatible Access Points within range. The Controller can activate or
deactivate Tags, program them, or even instruct Tags to operate in a specific way
(for example, to blink). This provides instant acknowledgment that a tagged asset
has passed through a gate, doorway, or other specifically defined area.
