6Overview
The Pozyx Anchor captures, preprocesses, and sends location data from tags to a
Gateway. It has been designed for optimal Ultra-Wideband performance and comes with
robust casing options (IP20 or IP66-67), making it ideal for industrial environments.
Mounting the Anchor is straightforward with the help of three mounting brackets.
The Anchor works within the Pozyx Enterprise system and requires an infrastructure of
Tags, Anchors, switches, and a Gateway to accurately and correctly translate positions in a
stream of real-time coordinates.
Figure 1 Pozyx Enterprise System Architecture
The Pozyx architecture comprises three main parts:
•A network of anchors and tags. This network consists of two types of devices:
tags and anchors. The tag is a mobile device used to track the positions of an
asset or person in real time. An anchor is a signal capturing device on a fixed,
well-known position.
•A local gateway. This device is the positioning server and connects to the
Anchors via Ethernet. It gathers all the data received from the Anchors and
transforms it into a position. By connecting to the gateway, users can receive the
real-time positioning data.
•The Pozyx web application. The web application is a visual interface to configure
and manage the Pozyx system. It can be run locally from the gateway itself or
from the Pozyx cloud.

8Installing the Anchor
8.1 Mounting Anchors
Mountain brackets allow users to install the Pozyx Anchors security to a wall or ceiling. Three
types of mounting brackets are available to mount an Anchor:
•VESA pole mount (90-020-0001)
7
•VESA wall mount (90-020-0002)
•VESA ceiling mount (90-020-0003)
The Anchor is mounted with 4 x M4 screws on the mounting bracket.

8.2 Connecting Cables
Pozyx Anchors can be connected through Ethernet. Each Anchor has 2 RJ45 100Base-T ports.
They can be used to link up anchors in sequence which reduces the total amount of wiring
required. We call this Daisy Chaining of Anchors.
Figure 2 Pozyx Anchor PoE ports
•The port labeled “1”should be connected to the Positioning Gateway. This can
implemented either by a direct connection to one of the Anchor ports on the
gateway or by a connection through an Ethernet switch for large setups.
•The port labeled “2”can be used to connect Anchors in a daisy-chain.
To create a chain of Anchors connect the port “2” (OUT in the figure below) of an Anchor to
the port “1” (IN in the figure below) of the next Anchor in the chain.
Pozyx recommends using Ethernet cables that:
•Are Pure Copper (Cu). Do not use Copper Clad Aluminum (CCA)
•Are Shielded Foil Twisted Pair (S/FTP)
•Are Cat5e (or better)
•Are AWG24 (or better). Both AWG 24/1 and AWF24/7 are suited.
Warning: It is advised not to use crossover Ethernet cables: all Ethernet cables should use
the T568B wiring specified in the TIA/EIA-568 standard.
Warning: For system stability it is advised to connect only anchors (and network switches
solely used to aggregate Anchors) to the ports labeled “Anchor network” on the gateway.

8.3 Powering the Anchor
There are two options to power an Anchor:
•Using Power-Over-Ethernet (PoE/PoE+). This option requires an Ethernet switch
with PoE capability is placed between the gateway and the first Anchor in a daisy-
chain. Each Anchor will provide power on the outgoing Ethernet cable for the next
Anchors in the chain. The Ethernet cable that provides power to the Anchor must be
connected to the port labeled “1”.
Remark: In general, 4-5 anchors (depending on the installation setup and environment
and taking the conditions into consideration) is the maximum for a chain when powered
through a PoE Switch, more will cause networking issues. Be sure to use shielded
Ethernet cables to eliminate cross talk.
•Local DC jack: This option uses an external AC/DC convertor to power the first
Anchor in a daisy-chain.
Warning: It is not allowed to power an Anchor through the Ethernet Port 2.
Warning: Make sure that you use the correct ports to connect the incoming and outgoing
Ethernet cables on the anchor.

8.4 Anchor Headers
Two types of headers are available for the Anchor:
•The header 90-010-0101 provides IP66 and IP67 ingress protection to the Anchor.
The Ethernet cables enter the Header sideways.
•The header 90-011-0001 can optionally be used to guide the external cables. The
ingress protection level of this solution is IP20. The header allows users to route the
cabling upwards from or to the backside of the Anchor.
