# Configuring an ILM Anchor

Before configuring an ILM Anchor, find all ILM devices.

1. In the Configuration view, on the Anchors tab, select the ILM Anchor, then select Edit.

   The Anchor Details window opens.

2. In the Name box, enter a name for the ILM Anchor.

   This is optional in ILM Manager 3.10.

3. In the Anchor Details window, on the General tab, choose UWB channel from the UWB Channel dropdown list.

   All ILM Anchors must be on the same UWB channel as the ILM Tool Tags.

4. If case coordinates are used, enter the measured position of the ILM Anchor in the X (m), Y (m), and Z (m) boxes.

   All ILM Anchors on the same UWB channel that are close to each other must share the same Right-handed Coordinate System.

5. In the Group boxes, enter the group numbers that the ILM Anchor is going to be part of.

   Each ILM Anchor must be part of at least one group. Groups are used to optimize radio communication by helping the ILM Tool Tag to find the best ILM Anchors for localization. Each group consists of 4–6 ILM Anchors. It is not recommended to have more than six ILM Anchors in a group. An ILM Anchor can be part of up to four groups, with each group having a group number between 1 and 255.

   The coordinator group IDs must be arranged in numerical order as they are placed along an assembly line. After group IDs have been rearranged, use ILM Manager to reboot the anchor.

   The group number can be any integer between 1 and 255.

6. In the Anchor Details window, select the Coordinator checkbox if ILM Anchor is going to be a Coordinator.

   All groups must have one ILM Anchor assigned as a Coordinator. Coordinators are responsible for synchronization of radio communication and can forward information via the network. A Coordinator can be shared by up to four groups. In special cases, a group can have two Coordinators.

   For consistency, all Coordinators should be on the same side of a production line.

   A special case is four work stations very close to each other. One ILM Anchor in the center can be a part and be the Coordinator of up to four groups.

   For information regarding correct positioning of ILM Anchors, refer to the Anchor positions chapter in the ILM Anchor Product Instructions.

7. In the Anchor Details window, on the Extended tab, choose the movement sensitivity from the Movement Sensitivity dropdown list. For more information, see Movement Sensitivity.

   This step is optional.

8. Close the Anchor Details window.

4. Choose position sensitivity from the Filter drop-down list.

5. Close the Tag Details window.

6. In the Configuration view, select Upload Configuration.

# Enable Area Types

## Distances

The area type Distances is the easiest and fastest way to enable tools only in dedicated areas or orientations. The ILM Tool Tag validates its position by measuring the distances to the ILM Anchors and therefore requires no measurement of the ILM Anchors position.

Each enable area consists of a list of distances from the ILM Tool Tag to the ILM Anchors.

When using Distances, it's possible to set up the system so that the tag only validates its distance against one single ILM Anchor. The area will in that case be a sphere around the ILM Anchor.

An ILM tag that runs firmware version 2.11 or below, and uses Distances with Basic mode, is not compatible with ILM Configurator version 2.12 and above.

## Coordinates

The area types Rectangle and Circle provide more accurate boundaries defined in a coordinate system. The ILM Anchors positions need to be configured with measured coordinates. The area types enable live visualization of the tag position.

It is not possible to mix Distances and Rectangle/Circle for one single tag.

# Configuring an Enable Area

1. In the Configuration view, on the Tags tab, select the ILM Tool Tag, then select Edit.
   Tag Details pop-up window opens.

2. In the Tag Details window, on the Areas tab, choose the area to configure from the Area drop-down list.

3. In the Tightening Program box, enter the Id-number of the tightening program/s.

   This step is only needed when using Confirm and Control mode.

4. Choose what type of area to use:

   - None

   - Rectangle

   - Circle

   - Distances

   Rectangle and Circle uses coordinates and require measured and configured ILM Anchor coordinates, refer to Enable Area Types.

5. Select Teach. The current position and orientation of the ILM Tool Tag will automatically be measured and configured, for Distances with the selected Distance Tolerance in meters as buffer.

   For Rectangle and Circle it is possible to manually adjust the area in Live Area Visualization.

6. Select Use Orientation, and adjust the roll and pitch degrees and the tolerances in the boxes, if needed.

7. In the boxes under the Timeout section, enter the timeout in seconds.

   - Enter Area (s): duration the ILM Tool Tag needs to be inside the area before the tool is enabled.

   - Exit Area (s): duration the ILM Tool Tag needs to be outside the area before the tool is locked.

   - Tag Lost (s): disconnection duration between ILM Anchors and ILM Tool Tag before the tool is locked.

8. Select Apply.

9. Close the Tag Details window.

8. In the Update Manager window, select Start Update.
   The LED indicator on the ILM Anchor will be dark blue and blinking during the updating process.

   After the updating process is complete, all ILM devices will restart.

   If an update is started but not completed, the device has to be recovered. See Recover a Device.

9. Restore the device configuration as it may have been cleared during the update. See Restoring a Configuration.

Device configurations are automatically restored during the update process.

# Recover a Device

If a firmware update is not completed correctly, as shown in chapter Updating the Firmware, the device will not be possible to discover using Search.

In order to recover it, the device has to be added manually by the following steps:

1. Select Add Tag/Add Anchor, depending on the device that should be recovered.

2. Enter the ID (8 characters) of the device in the pop-up window.

3. Select Firmware update and follow the steps as for a normal update.

   When recovering a device, the hardware generation of the ILM Tag will not be identified automatically. Refer to the hardware table in the ILM Compatibility Information for products containing ILM Tag Gen 2.
